i d love to show some pics of my work in progress but dont noe how to upload pictures. i noe some patient people tried teach me how in the past, but im i total clutz with computers.

[froggy]

nope the stuff aint soft, very light but not cushiony if thats what ya mean.

[froggy]

sure can z-beam, but i recomend you get the white sheets if you wanna spray em, its easier to spray on than the black sheets which i bought for the roads. foam core is just a thin sheet of foam in between two peices of paper, so you should be able to paint em no problems.

[froggy]

foam core is good stuff, its light, tuff and pretty cheap. you can get it from most art stores for about $5 for an A2 sheet. i used thick card board for a base and the foam core for rails and roads. if ur wondering about width of the roads, 16-20cm is a good size for 2-3 cars racing at the same time. you could also make the together with a mate so you can split the costs but it shouldnt be that pricy if you look around in different places.

[froggy]

they also have supras, pug 206, bmw m3, wrx, astro v8 and rx7 in differnt colours as well. i bought myself a blue rex today for $15 and they also come in 2 frequencies. the only criticism i have are that the controler is a bit light and seems a bit tacky and the body shells are too heavy as they are made from metal. other than that these are a good drive, decent speed and great looking bodies. well worth it for 15 bucks!

very stealthy betty, i like

[froggy]

welcome FLYNBI!!!

[froggy]

that works great! especialy on clones, thanks brendan.:D

[froggy]

welcome, welcome! supra_boy…

[froggy]

thats terps right? and how long did you leave the shell in for?

[froggy]

but does it fog up the windows? thats my main concern.

[froggy]

i tried the nail varnish but it didn’t work too well it stained my shell. i tried terps after, that was better but it still left some paint in cracks and hard to reach areas. the worst part was that it fogged up my windows, can i use any thing that wont harm my shell in any way? more importantly not fog the windows.:angry:

thanks impreza! i’ll go paint shopping tommorow, oh if you or anyone else could help me i’d like to know if any ones used the crome spry paint before or something similar? its from K-mart and cost about $12, just wandering if its any good. it says you dont need to clear coat it cause it comes out aluminium shinny.

sorry guy for confusing writting style,im just used to it i guess. but thanks for the help anyway z-beam! the information realy helped, im going to check out some of those places tomorrow.

i think the problem with perth is that we dont get alot variety from what we can choose from and the fact that we have a lack of stores that i know of that actually supply bit equipment.

thanks again for the help, froggy.:)
