Damn, and I thought I lived in the sticks...three hours and ride a ferry? Do they have electricty there or do you have to ride a bike like on Gilligans Island to power your computer?

yea they got juice up here.
There is a LHS here but it carries paints for plastic models (dammit.), playing cards (smelly nerds!), model trains and.. that's just about it.
Ordering stuff through them is a joke. more times than not they've told me they simply don't want to deal with what I want to order.

Looks like your gonna have to open your own shop. Our LHS just moved next to our mall and doubled its size...and they have something I've never seen in a hobby shop before. A female clerk...and she's not ugly or even weird. I'm guessing she wont last...the owners are smelly nerds. I guess that part must be universal.
So, quit bathing, move back into your mom's basement, aquire a bizzare level of fascination with role playing games and little action figgures, then go out and open a new place!

yea tell me about it dude.. more often than not I've been telling friends who ARE into RC that this place SORELY needs a hobby shop that caters to RC.. and I need some help to get it off the ground.
One of them is running a business and the other has ran a business in the past. So maybe that's what I need to do here. get things organized and get this bloody thing off the ground.

Looking good.
Are you going to pinstripe between the colors? Add decals? or are you finished? either way

I might pinstripe between the colors... not sure
I'll add a few decals, and I might stick a bP decal on the front. not sure.
There's another piece that goes with the body but I wasn't sure how it fit into the main body until I was finished.
As it stands now, it's ready to take to the track.

That looks hot! Some raceing decals would really fill that paint scheme off. This is not something I would normally say, but what about some CF decals in the headlight buckets?

yea I think I have some, but I wanted them white originally. The whole idea behind this was to paint and detail as much as I could. CF stickers would take away from that.

Not gonna pinstripe! But I have all the stickers on and found a bunch of sponsor stickers on an Escudo decal sheet.. so I sliced em out and stuck em on.
