some nice work there mate, i think ive seen some of yours on ebay??

Envi XR8 · 01-10-2007, 07:38 PM

this was entered at the Australian championships in Melbourne a couple of years ago, round 2005 I think.

That thing is Freakin awesome! from memory it won a major prize, like judges choice or something. I wish I could do that sort of work. The wrecked ones are so much harder than the operational ones.

tell your mate, my hat goes of to him.

cool, thanks for the help with the windows. i just bought some House of Kolor paints, they are specially designed for airbrushing. its from the US though, just hope they dont take too long to arrive.

i've pulled the 'stang apart to practice modifying. i've lowered it heaps all round, just used a dremel to cut the leafs off the axle and put lowering blocks on

theres awesome looking models on here
