Here are the wife's cars.

The Purple Skyline

The S2000

She entered them in RCmod's contest. If I can get an image of them I try and get her to enter them here before the contest ends.

She wants to know what you think, keep it clean.

Did she paint the flower car? Looks real nice. Good work! I'm trying to get my wife into them too. Maybe this will inspire her.

yup, how can ya not like originality?
you never see "girly" bits... until now.
personally, I like the skyline better, the color choice is a good one.
the antenna even matches, just like women - matching accessories
so see, they can put a new spin on the bits that us males wouldn't think about!

I've been trying to get my wife in to them, finally got her a beetle body and some paint - we'll see!

The second shot of the Skyline was on my LXX booster since that was with me when I was taking the photo at work. The first shot is how it normally looks with the double antenna.

Flower Powered the S2000. I should have her Flower a Bub but she won't do anyting to the three she has, one each of Yellow, Blue and Bright Green. She wants me to put lights in the gree on, but haven't had the time.

We were trying some different paints on the S2000, they are acrylic paints by Folk Art that sell for something like 75 cents a bottle, and the bottle is 4-5 times the size of a Model Master bottle. We have about 40 different colors in the house. They dry in minutes (fully dried in a hour recoats I've done after 8-10 minutes.) The only problem is they are flat colors when painted, several coats of clear are needed to make them shine. I'm using these paints on a WRX I'm working on. I'll post those images when it's finished.

She was hoping for many responses to her cars, shes seen some of the forums and the responses other cars get.
