man i wanna hear from the painter himself!!!
At least he mirrored over the roof flame....sheesh.
I wouldn't have given him any tips, Mike. His site says he gets 75pounds (around $120usd) for a job. You should be selling in the UK Mike.
thats including body and i think it was Euros? maybe not
That was pounds (L) sign.
Let's see how long before you, me, MR, jon and others are banned over there.

It's called givinmg them the nice version of the traxxas forums.
lol no porn on this one i guess!
they dont like us dave lol
I wanted to use this one
alute: but the forum doesn't seem to support it?
Wow...MAxBasher does not like you at all. These Brits need to lighten up a bit.
I guess you can't list your "business" in that forum unless you advertise in his magazine.
I so wanted too add in..but they haven't activated me yet
lol cuz ur a painter they wouldnt let me in either until i emailed them hahaha
oh and after looking through their other forums, I now understand why americans dominate all the offroad worlds races LMAO ;rolleyes:
Don't bother. The admin is "going clean this thread up in a bit and remove these last few posts as this is meant to be a show case of Jims work, not a load of blokes getting stressed, I will add a line to the original pictures though recognising Czech's original design so alls fair."
My guess is he doesn't want his paying advertiser to get pissed over the comparison of Mike's work versus his.
Hey, he can do what ever the **** he wants....just like Bam Magera.
"He didn't mean to blatantly copy" what a load!! the guy sent him a pic and wanted something similar?? That's similar alright!!
After the copy thing Dave posted w/ my Tazer body...man I was super hot about this "bloke" ripping off Mike...
I know its not such a big deal...but the painter should have enough respect to not outright copy someone elses design...similar = significantly different
BTW... MIke you handled that very well...
i hear ya Jerry its some weak ass bullshit when guys dont care enough; everyone knows who paints something when they see it, either by the site u saw it on the forum etc its a flat out lie when you say oh i didnt know who did it. Its more like i didnt know you would find out i copied your work
+1
As big as the internet is....it's still a small world.
this takes balls, i give him credit:
Hi Mike
I love your work and hope you don't feel to bad about what has just gone on
I wasn't intending on ' copying your work' as I explained to Dave All I get is an email and a pic and ' I want this design on my shell !!'
I have made many duplicate designs for people that have had 1 they like and then bought different models but still keeping the design they started with. and obviously not having to get them done by the original painter ( I do not say it is my design )
I never posted the pics on maxbashing and don't have much time to do so with any shell .
all i got was a phone call off the guy i painted it for and was told to have a look on the forum.
again i am sorry for copying your work ( but to be fair you design is stunning and beautifully created )
I take my hat off to you.
if I do add this to my gallery then I will be adding a note to you on it but I don't photo all of them nor do I alter the gallery ( haven't for 9 months)
As I don't get time.
keep up the good and I mean good work !!!!!!!!!
Regards
JIM

mike
thanks for understanding
and thanks for the tips but the only createx (faskolor) I used was fascescent blue on the hood.
the rest was actually HOK.
hence the orange / yellow issue
sorry about making it look poor compared to yours.
May I ask your permission to attempt the replicate the buggy shell ( as I haven't started it yet and will not if you don't allow me to )
if I can help you in any way I can please ask
you never know I might be even able to get you work.
Regards

Mike, as Jim is a "true pro", perhaps a wee commission for him using your design is in order, aye what? (british accent) At least he asks before doing it anyway. You think he's over here reading as a guest? hmmm.
What EVER
Taking the Chunnel to France.
lol whatever its over now atleast he manned up in a weird british sort of way lol
funny how "british" has so many letters in common with "bitch"
