G’day folks! There’s probably no need to remind you, but living on the wrong hemisphere I constantly need to remind myself that Christmas is just around the corner. Ninety to a hundred degrees outside, blue sky, beach holiday, warm ocean waters, playing in the surf – it definitively does not feel anything like December to me. This Christmas my hobby wishes [...]
Yo everybody! The Phoenix is dead, long live the Phoenix! A car with the brand name Phoenix, does have to have a phoenix paint job, methinks, and this is my attempt to make name and body justice.Back in black, with a phoenix on the bonnet and a phoenix’s feather on the side. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, [...]
G’day folks! Once again, I’ve strayed outside my comfort zone in regards to painting lexan bodies. My Vanquish Phoenix is getting a new body and I’m painting it using a combination Tamiya rattle cans, my trusted airbrush, and a fine detail brush. I’m not quite done yet, so at this stage you’ll have to make do with some pictures of [...]
Yo and happy generic weekday! May it be a good one and provide you with a bit of relaxing hobby time. Failing that, let it at least provide you with some time of day dreaming of your next project – I’m sure there is one. I myself spend way too much time thinking of upcoming hobby projects, be it RC, [...]
Yeah, I know, scale pictures is all the rage nowadays. There’s zillions of those around, so I decided to do skate pics instead. Nothing like the local skate park for interesting backgrounds.So, beast number six is finally done: Fawkes the Phoenix. Blue and orange, contrasting colors for a simple and effective color scheme. I’m pretty happy with it, didn’t take [...]

Lots of things are great about the Redcat RDS, but not the body. I am very happy about that, since it keeps the price down at lets me spend that money on getting whatever body I want instead. Sure, the included body does a good job covering the chassis and it’s got magnetic body mounts to boot, but for looks? [...]
One thing that didn’t make the move to Australia was my compressor, so a couple of days ago I bought myself new one. Airflow isn’t quite as high as I would like, but it got the job done when I painted the interior of my VS4-10. Gotta do something while I wait for some bits and bobs for my RDS [...]
G’day folks and may it be a happy one! A good way for me to make any day better, is to paint. Case in point: I have more painted RC bodies than I have chassis to fit them on.

One cool thing with living in Queensland, Australia, is that RCs have become real. 4WD is a big thing here, and street racing is real. Not so back home. Only here have I been able to start to fully relate to the scale bug that now totally dominates the RC world. I enjoy it. Previously, names like Dick Cepek, Mickey Thompson, [...]
