Hey everyone

I recently became obsessed with bringing these plastic molds to life. I used to paint model cars, but this is a whole new ballfield.

This is my first painted body. The mold is the Crowd Pleazer for the RC10GT. I was thinking about themes and for some reason a Wolverine theme was going to be my first attempt. I used pics and glued them to the inside of the body with Mod Podge, works like the xxxmain stuff. The colors are just the plain Faskolor white, yellow and black with pearl blue.

Im working on the HPI Saleen Mustang body right now, should be posting it soon. Thanks for checkin' my work out!

It neither. I cut it out of a comic book and used stuff similar to the XXXmain picture glue. I lack drawing abilities...

yep, that is a great looking shell, even though the wolverine is a picture, you still tied it into the car very well

Thanks. I can't freehand very well so the picture was the most creative idea I came up with that would still look decent.

Wow; you're first body looks better than like my 20th. Maybe I should start using more than one color :o
