my biggest problem is tech problems with controlling and wire the lights up right!!
so if anyone can help me with that stuff... man that would be great!!
I ordered a spectrum 8 channel and receiver that I realized I need to operate the flip up front bumper. then theres the extra trailer lights etc.

Wow man that thing looks bad. I Can't believe those steps and stacks are actually stock pieces from a stick tamiya kit. I say keep em on there.

This is one of my favorite large cars next to mine of course big sexy. Lol. Seriously man you are killing this build. You have alot of insane skills and great ideas. Not sure on your spread between your trailer axles but on my trailer we have a set of custom made tool boxes out of polished stainless that are functional and store the batteries that power trailer lights......Great work.

hey thanks rhys, my new iwata spray gun is on its way. so when it gets here ill hopefully be ready yo paint.

as for fillers I like to use ...well.. 1. is Tamiya's putty white (item # 87095) and 2. is by Deluxe materials PERFECT PLASTIC PUTTY.

with the perfect putty you can wet your finger and smooth it out, even the next day if needed.

Anytime shaun, credit where credit is due.

Hopefully that will be soon lol. Going by the choices of colours I see this is going to be a paint scheme to beat.

Cheers for the heads up have used tamiya putty before but its like spreading toothpaste haha.

Might try automotive filler I have and see how it goes.
Thanks again

Cheers
Rhys.
