Back at it, finally! This was supposed to be a quickie, but the scope of the project has expanded significantly, so I figured I better start documenting.

Productive day! Got color on just about all of the chassis components.

Thats awesome.
What colour did you use for the engine?
I'm abit obsessed with unlimited class trophy trucks atm, and would love to build one, but I can't seem to find any models of them. Looks like I'll just have to buy a £1000 rc car to scratch that itch...

Thanks guys!
The engine color is actually a Duplicolor rattle can of Detroit Diesel Alpine Green, which turned out to be a decent enough match for the typical Mercedes diesel paint job. Goes on a little thicker than I'd prefer, but is manageable with light coats.
...I suppose scratchbuilding a trophy truck could always be an option!

One more sub-assembly complete. Everything will get slathered in mud once the last three groups are done!

Many thanks guys! I'm really happy with how the lights in particular turned out (I mean, besides the ones that I broke...)

Thanks everyone! To be fair, it was one of the smaller categories at the show, but still a pleasant surprise to win something 🙂

Thank you!
And don't worry if they never make a tool for your 406... there's always 3D printing! 😉

A successful outing at Autorama... Somehow this rig got Best in Show, Best Detail, and Best Finish. I'm deeply appreciative to the judges and to everyone who turned out to make for a great show!
