So two nights worth of updates in one hit here

Masked off the open areas to stop the outside paint going in

Two coats of primer

Then tonight was a quick wet and dry sand down then the top coat. First light mist coat

Second light mist

Third

Wet coat number one

Then after the second wet coat, how it stands currently, I have not bothered with the roof as that is going black

IamRobbie · Jan 6, 2015

looks very nice! can't wait to see it finished.

SJW2511 · Jan 7, 2015

Got a reasonable amount done tonight, first up was the roof, masked off

Usual light mist coats

followed by wet coats

Job done

Painted some of the details black as they are on my 1:1 hinges etc

Made up the two headlight plastic surrounds

Drilled two holes for the 3mm sidelight LEDs

Stuck the surrounds on

Tinted the rear windows

Then set about the arches of which I have finished 2 of the 4, started off with the fine line masking tape

then normal masking tape

Sprayed up

Superb!

IamRobbie · Jan 7, 2015

how come you fine mist with a dry coat first?

SJW2511 · Jan 7, 2015

Find it sticks better

Looking ace!

I picked up my kit at 09:00 yesterday, got the rolling chassis done last night.

Managed to put the rear axle on upsidedown!

And i bought a 1:10 Hi-Lift jack at about half the dollar of a 1:1 one!

SJW2511 · Jan 8, 2015

lol I think I did the upside down thing but noticed pretty quickly

DFNDR WP · Jan 8, 2015

I only noticed when i turned the main gear and the front and back wheel hubs turned in opposite directions!

Please post a detailed shot of the underside of the front axle, the servo arm and connection to the steering. The supplied steering servo of mine has a very crappy looking arm, and I'm not happy with the way it connects.

Thanks.

SJW2511 · Jan 8, 2015

Will do when I'm home, mine was just a plastic arm, you can get metal ones off ebay

DFNDR WP · Jan 8, 2015

Shot man, may have to make up something.

Another dumb question - What if you don't fill the shocks with oil? Is there anything I can substitute for 'shock oil'?

SJW2511 · Jan 8, 2015

I think they work without, veg oil seems a similar consistency but I think the silicon nature of the proper stuff is good for lubrication etc. Its cheap off ebay though, I used 30wt

SJW2511 · Jan 8, 2015

fitted the grill and the radiator behind

Then the check plate bits

Wheel arch liners finally in

Overall latest pics

Numberplates on too

Tenz · Jan 9, 2015

Want one, looks wicked

SJW2511 · Jan 11, 2015

Getting there!

Interior is sitting too high because battery is too thick, need to order a different one

Lights in

SJW2511 · Jan 16, 2015

Heres a shot with the old tyres, bit of articulation, oh and I think these are the first pics since I fitted the mudflaps

New tyres turned up, slightly smaller and tread pattern almost identical to my 1:1

Fitted pics
