Hey, I just noticed the way you smoothed out the front end it looks like a frog nose.

You need to add some nostrils, and give the headlights eyeballs.

Sorry, I think I got carried away again.

that's exactly what I told my wife I shoulda done!
the front reminded me of kermits nose - not to mention the green...
then after I painted the headlights white, I was thinkin it needed his little black slits for eyes and a red grill for a tongue!

but then I thought it'd be too "puchi" lol

hog, it's Tamiya Candy Apple Green

and - yes, I have thought of doing Miss Piggy - but she's a slut so that's not such a great accomplishment lol

this particular job, I used mostly just sandpaper.
I used my x-acto knife to cut out the bigger chunks, and then different grits of sandpaper to smooth it down.
starting with grittier sandpaper and working my way down to fine, water sanding paper

well you couldn't do it exactly like it - you aint got no bitPimps decals or a hit the road toad decal

I say you do it's counterpart - the miss piggy, then we can drive next to eachother everywhere lol

thanks guys

yea the chassis rocks, I really only have 3 chassis that aren't hooked up - the rest of my cars are set to run for whatever I build them for (i.e. my track, the carpet, outside, etc.)
