I heard of a way to do that type of pattern from one of my modeling how to books. you take index cards and a hole punch, and make a bunch of random patterns in different index cards, then spray through them. it's a Shep Paine technique.

All my stuff has always been freehand mate.. I seldom if even use stensils Punisher .. but it is a good method thats for sure... but a light use of pensil to mark a steady hand to guide and and the right neadle for the AB and dont forget a can of JD and its all systems go

I will post some preliminary work tommorow night...

In support of Ed, here's a photo from the maiden voyage of my AUSCAM original FAV from a couple of years ago. They are magic when in motion.

Ed,
You know me, complete disorganized and unable to prepare any one car.
So I keep it simple. Run everything, every meet.

Unfortunately not, and won't get there for then. Looking at your thread, sounds like you're going to have a huge weekend!

Here's a few extra pics with some accessories on it - no motor in there yet though.... The lego nets are awesome. 3 stretched around the rear cage, tied on with elastic string and 2 rolled up as driver/passenger safety nets. I think I need the Jack and Fire Extinguisher 'dulled' up a bit or painted a completely different colour. Pulled them off my crawler.

Looks awesome Scorp! Love the detail on the driver - Camo, Knee/Elbow pads, belts and the cigar.

Oh, and welcome to the Forum
