So I picked up one of these Scorrpion CORR bodies from driven productions http://www.thetoyz.com/cart/thetoyz_det ... &cat_name= I originally wanted to run it on my Micro DT but after mounting it I found that it just looked ridiculous; the front end was too long, it wobbled from left to right and just didn't look correct. I figured it was only $10 so no biggie and it went back on the shelf. Well yesterday I pulled out my old iwaver monster to do some updating and found that this body worked great on that platform. Paint is soon to come but I thought I would post some pics before I get started. Im still trying to figure out what sort of paint scheme to go with so any ideas would be great.

Wow, I can't believe it fits the MZM so well.

So what Dave, no ideas on the paint scheme? I figured out of any pimp on this site, you would be the one with the masking tape technique. Keep in mind that Im a special effects artist and toy design major so im not shy with the airbrush

STG

make it like, um , black 'n shit

The Toyz lists that body to fit the Micro DT but the body looks too large scale-wise for the DT? Do you agree? Shame...I was looking for CORR style body for my Micro DT and that one looks really nice - just too large.

Looks GREAT on your MZM though

Funny you should ask, I just did this one for 45tro. Finished last night.

Pretty sweet Dave I take it you noticed that those decals needed some fudging as well.

I ended up pulling out some of my old decal sheets and cutting from those.

Here is what I ended up with:

That adds a whole new look to the MZM for me
Not so bulky looking anymore.
Good paint pimps, wish I could get inside those little bodies as good as yal do.

Dave, i can't begin to explain how stoked i am with that body. the paint is absolutely killer - thanks dude!

STG - that looks wicked - i'd looked at the MZM and never been happy with the high bodies and lack of scale - this body just... works! good paint man!
