Slow around here...

frizzen · Post by **frizzen** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 1:18 pm

Anybody else noticing a lack of new things getting done around here? Maybe it's just me, but it seems pretty slow.

What kind of excuses are we using to justify not doing stuff?

Right now, I'm using:
- "Too cold to paint / no good custom graphic ideas" for my Drag Beetle and SingleCab Ram.
- "Lost motivation" for the off-road modded Ram to match my "Desperado" project.
- "Too lazy to mix up epoxy for internal stiffening" for a *cough* secret one-off hand fabricated body.
- "Just started on it, soon to be stuck at paint" for a themed monster truck.
- "Don't care about other projects enough right now" for the others I've stalled on.
*Edit* - And work, I gotta blame work too

And how about some Spy Shots of your work in progress cars?
(assuming I don't get the hell flamed out of me for this post)

I noticed a lack of news too (at least for Bits).
Maybe we all have 2 many things to do....I can't finish painting\pimpin' my bits because I gotta study a lot and, it's too cold.

And how about some Spy Shots of your work in progress cars?

I'll post a few pics of my "DD" project soon...ok?

I'm actually working on 2 bits right now. After seeing the "boneyard cruiser" I got inspired to whip together some parts of my own.

and kids?

and the big one for me is that I've actually just been having fun driving all these cars as of late. Been driving ZZMTs with my daughter around the living room, chasing my cat and son with my 1/24 SSMT, driving a fetted bit on my office floor, and racing mini-zs on RCP with hue35. Most of the stuff I've been doing lately has just been maintenance, replacing broken parts or minor parts upgrades not worth talking about.

and it's too cold to paint. I've got 4 cars masked and waiting.

pretty much the same here, i've just been enjoying driving my stuff. i'm mostly driving the mr02 out the back with ph2t or taking the big offroaders down the park where they become "doggy exersisers"

ph2t just got a half8 so we'll probably spend more time at the park now.

i only mod stuff when i find a problem, once the problems are solved i'm done

finally charged my camera, here are some teasers.

New in-work body on "MonsterBit" (thanks DT!), a charg-n-go in work, and a zz-m. Wanted to compare their size and ground clearance.

Bullet clone truck, cut tires, moved rollbar, added spare tire, dual cell, fixed axle slop, Spring-swaybar... nearly done, just needs little wiring and some articulation

The other bullet clone truck. ZZ-M motor, faster gearing, quad tires, dual cell, relocated charge port...

The start of "Trogdor", stuck on it until I decide paint scheme and layout for graphics.

The origin of the idea: http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.html

And my evil bitch of a project, which I'm calling "Superwinch" because their logo will fit better than "Warn". And yes, questioning my sanity is possibly a valid concern now.

My buggy project is going really slow. I've lost motivation for it, but i don't want to tare it down after all the work i've put into it. I want to get started on a new ssmt project. Going to be like clint's zzmt but with ssmt parts and electronics.

They came from a import racer supra diecast.

This is the look I am going for with the DB5 when I get done with it.

That's a fine looking convertable GTO...
Are the pictures blurry because those are "SPY shots" or are you using the camera phone instead of the highend work camera again???

Either way, Agent S4L, this post will self-destruct in 5-4-3-2-..... what was next?
