Brilliant you are an artist both of you the Tamiya mould for the driver is amazing. Drive it stay out of trouble and then one day you can say it raced against Ferraris and McLarens bring her home in one piece, qualify last😅
Great job on the driver. The car looks sensational. Maybe get a runner body as well. I have a bunch of cars waiting to be painted and decal-ed. It's a bit of a worry.
I've seen a few of these up close, beautiful model. Maybe give it a gentle maiden somewhere flat, but other wise shelve it. It's way too nice, and the effort you went to with the driver just finishes it so well.
000 is the number of paintbrush to get for eyes and very small amounts of great detail thin paint is better than thick paint and paint thin layers for a smoother finish
Shelf queens are called models. This is a beautifully painted and prepped RC Race car. It would look much better on the shelf with some track time and wear on it! Look at all the racecars in the museums. The best ones still have the scuffs and debris from the glory days in its prime! After a few events, they get put on display and taken out for special events. Doesn't that sound better than being built to never be run?
Awesome driver painting 😮 I run mine (lexan body, monaco special version, with visible fake motor), but not with other maniacs 😅 So up to you. You can always have a spare body, they are available here and there (TTP ?) 👍🤝
That's Patrick Depailler's helmet and I would have given you 9/10 but Patrick had brown eyes so unfortunately the whole effect is completely ruined for me and I'll never get those 10 minutes back 😜
That little dude looks great in the car.
I had a green and white elf Tyrrell scalextric car in the late 70s loved it
I had a Mini Cooper scalextric and a mini metro
I want to see a 6 wheel in the comp. No one runs these except the folks over seas. Lets see some crazy racing! Go popalong!
Game on
Run it mate, it will look amazing going round the track 👍
Will do
Amazing art work... A+
Cheers buddy
Race it Cole! It would be a shame not to. Love all your content it’s very inspiring for sure! Keep up the good work
Cheers Robert
Run at least once is a must! When it's broke, then it's a shelf queen
That could be arranged

RACE IT …..! ☕️🦾😎looks amazing………!! Great job
Cheers buddy
Carl.Its a great car that you must race.
Run it, drive it and enjoy it. Nothing stays perfect forever
Sounds like a plan
Looking good there Carl. I have so many cars with unpainted drivers as I can't face painting them.
Just do it … what could go wrong
🔥🔥🔥
Race it! 😃👍🏻
one day
RACING!
Yeah
Nice paint, rc cars are to be used. I do not have shelf queens but do build static kits to fill that void. Appreciate old cars can be delicate though.
Think it will look ace on the track
Buy a second kit to race? Maybe just a body set and wheels to race with and make a display chassis for the shelf-queen?
Buy more cars
Sounds like a plan
Great job on the driver. The car looks sensational. Maybe get a runner body as well.

I rarely take my time on shells but when I do

Nice driver. I always use a needle for the pupils. Press it into the eye to create a tiny hole and then add a drop of paint to the needle ...
Good tip

Also hairdrier on decals everyone they tighten up, no problem😊
Nice tip
Race race race race race race rc cars are there to be used not collecting dust. Also they look better going round the track rather than on a shelf
True that
If you do run it, the driver model may need touching up with a lil Blood for the Blood God paint! 🤣😜
Your not wrong
any tuning, mods, and hop ups sugessted for racing the tyrell p34 please ???
Apparently GT12 wheels for front
Oil filled shock instead of friction damper
RC Cars are for racing not on shelf if you want something for the shelf buy some orniments
That sounds like good advice
Get yourself a spare body, you can make a shelfer version if you bust it too hard on the track. :D Not bad driver figure painting there :D
Cheers buddy
Buy a second kit to race without the box art and keep that one as a shelf Queen 👍🏻
I’ll keep my eye out for one
Isn’t that Toecutter just before he got flattened by that truck in MadMax 😂
Hahaha
Race it don't shelf queen it do a season the retire it if you want, that's what I would do I don't have any shelf queens it should be illegal 😂
Guess I need to try and get a spot at next years iconic cup
It should be a crime punished by confiscation
Race it , if you can make it work then I'll get one .
Don’t put me under that sort of pressure
Race it
Aaalright
You've done a nice job of that car, but please run it, don't leave it on the shelf!!
Consider it done

Thanks for watching
