I've been burning the midnight oil, literally tonight  Cool   Whewwww it's done!  I had a lot of fun building this one, despite a few setbacks and do overs, it's a great kit. I still have to trim the body some and move the rear body mounts, but wanted to get some pictures before it hits the rocks. It's going to be painful for the first few scratches :lol:

It has a bit of color change effect going on, somehow. It goes from a silver-purple to deep purple depending on the angle. Now you can see why I had to remove the green from the links!

I just noticed looking at the pictures that the body was on backwards.. no, it's not a rear steer.

Yeah, I agree.......nice detail.


Hey Chris, where did you get the Hobbico builder's mat?? I could not find it at Tower. Then again.......that search engine. Ebay has screwed theirs up bigtime too.

And you are running dual monitor's??  Cool

EDIT: Nevermind, I googled it & found it at Tower.

Hobby Town USA carries them if you don't want to order it.. at least the one in University area does. I think I've seen them at art and craft stores like Michael's too.

Yeah, dual monitors, actually four monitors total, 2 each on two PCs. The second PC is for work.

I've been needing to put in a Tower order so I am gonna get 2 mats with my order. One for my build area desk, one as a mat under my keyboard board as the computer station.

I can not say that I've seen the at the HobbyTown in Pineville. And I'm there once a week.  :wink:
