Chris GreathouseMr. Greg picked this as my next build. 😛 It will be white, which was one of the original vender colors.

Paul JulianoChris, I'm starting to think you're intentionally starting another "paint it yellow" debate. 🙂

Chris GreathouseI was thinking of painting my other Lambo a different loud, gross color per panel... JUST so I could internationally and collectively hear every one of you sh!t bricks 😄 😄 *firestarter* LOL
The Sambar got pushed back a little, I'm working on a soldering project that isn't agreeing with me. I was hoping to be done today.

Chris Greathouse#3 Everything is snipped, sanded, and grouped into primer batches for tomorrow... Off to my stupid soldering project :-S

Chris Greathouse#4 The black pieces have been primed and painted, Grey primer split out to Chrome and Burnt Red (Interior color) (still needs to be painted) Then everything in the cup is the raft and scuba gear, That will get white primed and painted normal gear colors (hopefully 😛 )
Then I have to paint the interior of the body then the exterior.
Question: What's the best method to spray the interior while not mucking up the exterior?

Chris Greathouse#5 So many activities! Full SCUBA gear and tank, with a reservoir tank on shore. Also a harpoon gun. Then for top-side fun, there's surfing and rafting 😄

Chris GreathouseAny tips on painting the black rope on the raft? Or is free-hand the only way to go? (I've been having the shakes lately... I can see the rope getting thrashed with shakes)

Martin OostromIf you have liquid mask, let it flow into the divide of the rope and the raft. Paint the rope and remove the mask. You can add a black wash in the divide to hide some leftover yellow.

Chris GreathouseI just took something to slow my body down and the shakes stopped... I hate being broken from birth 🙁

Chris GreathouseShould I also mention that it has a beefy bullbar with winch and some KC lights for getting out of the sand or mud?

Martin OostromI wouldn't transport a pressure tank like that....:
Car looks great Chris!

Chris GreathouseThank you all!! I bought the VW Buggy for another odd build... waiting on shipping.

Slavo HazuchaSuch a cute and docile looking vehicle... Yet the massive "zombie-killer" front frame suggest it also has a hidden, darker side...

Chris GreathouseIt was a fun little bugger to build 😄 Now it sits on the shelf next to it's brother. 🙂 Thanks guys!

Greg BakerThe yellow on white looks better than yellow on yellow would have. You made the right choice with th colouring.

Nigel ChapmanVery different - The more I look, the more I like. Love the bull bar and winch, did it come with the kit?

Chris GreathouseThanks Nigel!
Yeah all the fun toys and bullbar & winch were included 😄 ... Made this a fun little kit to paint! 😄 totally worth the overseas wait for shipping!
