Here is the link to my bodies I did this past week

Mayhem side 1
Mayhem side 2
Mayhem Top
My NTC3 which all I need is an idle screw and then I can start it up.
This one has the drips on the front end with the color changing paint. The rest of the body-I did the dabbing of a blue and then backed it with a purple--looks real kewl.
NTC3a
NTC3b
NTC3c
NTC3d
NTC3e

Looks good
.
Great job!
Just ditch the HPI sticker on the NTC3 and we'll be all good (no offense hpi I love my RS4)
Yeah I have to find something else---it kinda hides a blemish on where I just did not cover that area so well and it is off to me anyway. HPI on an associated car--a twist I say.
...PM him for questions like that please. Thanks
dude that truck body is very impressive!

You may have another competitor in the custom paint business......
Thanks especially coming from someone highly regarded in this area.
This was the first time for me so just imagine what my abilities will be in time.
I am a creative person and tend to let things led me to where they do.
I can say about 80% of the time I am impressed myself and the other 20% well leaves something else not making me all that please. I learn quickly and from my mistakes.
I know there is another Racer some of you may know---ASTRO does(Mark H is his name and when he saw the truck body he to was impressed). This too coming from an experience airbrush painter.
Once I get this down more I will get into the 3d stuff more. I can't draw for squat but I wanted and Iron maiden Themed body from 7th son of a 7th son but I don't care to spend the $140 with body, paint and shipping for it. I did not want it for racing but just for the fun of it.
Not sure if I read that right but Astro and Mark H are 2 different people. If I read that wrong, sorry :wavey: .... by the way, welcome to the board Biodragen
it's marke...lol
If that truck was your first, you'll be pretty good with even more practice. Good job man!
Astro---you sold me the motor and my neighbor you truck---remember now---the mark I am talking about who locks his keys in his car.
BTW he did it again Sunday in my Driveway---LMAO and he just about did it a second time 30 seconds after we got him in.
HAHAHAHAHHA!!!! Yea he told me, and Tex is correct, it's Marke............. Hope everything is good with that motor and The savage as well.
Marke - NitroNuisance, until I figure out a new name.
I saw the bodies in person and the pictures don't even come close. Very nice, expecially for your first time out with the airbrush. I'd guess your designs will become much more complex and tricky the more you paint. Nice work...
And yes, I now carry 2 car keys with me at all times... Just in case I pull a Marke again...
NitroNuisance = THE car door lock bandit---LMAO @ U
Engine--dunno yet I have to get that idle screw and then fire it up.
Savage is fine---Needs a new g-plug but not sure which to get for Dean.
This time Dean got him in through the hatch--my daughter climbed in for him.
Dean hooked the latch on the floor and a quick pull---unloacked.
I still LMAO when I think about it.
I know for sure never to give my keys to Nitro
NitroNuisance, how'd your engine breakin go with your buggy you had at the bash?
Havn't had alot of time to run it. About 3 or 4 tanks so far 1.5 for heat cycling - 3 minutes each up to 190ish then cooled out all the away - about 10 times. Then 2 tanks at very rich settings at 30% throttle. Time to lean out the motor and get it a little hotter for a tank or two. Then good to go.
I have to say that Ofna/Picco .27 is going to be scarry. At 30% throttle and way rich my 9.5 Pro (a.k.a. - 9 1/2) was too fast to control in a small area.
Just don't have the time to spend a few tanks to get it done.
If ya'all are going out to The Hill or WoodRidge this weekend I'll go too. Should be ready to go after a tank or two.
Ya did a good job on your bodies
