For the focus I bought the white foam board from the dollar store and made a background with it. It made all the difference in my filming and photos. I'm looking forward to the final on the 9 car. Thanks for the video 😎👍

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Problem is I'm doing most of these videos on my desk, too many thing to focus on, like my camera has ADD..lol. but the car is coming along pretty good so far

The painting issues that arise that I am so familiar with. It's going to all work out. It's looking good so far Chris.

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

I got a plan for the paint, hopefully it'll work my way.

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

It's a classic underappreciated scheme, kinda got lost in time

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

I got a plan for the paint, hopefully it'll work in my favor!! But overall it's coming along!

[@leegtracer3763]

I've just started the red and white Coors amt kit. Managed to find one over here in the UK with the thunderbat kit. This Coors light was also available but I have so many kits now it's ridiculous.

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Nice! I don't have the red Coors one yet. I've built a few Thunderbats in the past, they somewhere in a box. I feel ya on having lotta kits, I think we all say we are gonna stop buying so many, but we know we are lying to ourselves...lol!!! I gotta get back to this build, it kinda stalled out on me
