Turned out really nice.....I hate painting 1/4 scale bodies. You would think they would be easier because of all the room, but to me they are a PITA....

the owner wanted it as a chevy body not a toyota.
i believe he said that theres enough paint on the m&ms to paint a 1/8 body.

That body is the size of one of those kid beds that looks like a car!
The step-by-step pictures are fantastic. It's not often you get to use 1" wide tape "as-is" for window trim!

Super Job!

Nice work Jim and good luck at Mike's this weekend. I can't make it, but we have a good crew going from our local track in Jackson MS.

Ghostrider86's new shell. It is an HPI body. Also it is really bright in person, and was just glowing on the snow.

A little different then what I normally do, but it sure is bright.

Small world huh! How cool is THAT! I loved the paint on that bike. The colors, layout, etc. Top notch!

Here's a couple more photos I took. I just loved the whole look of it. Hope to duplicate or at least get inspired by it for a upcoming Slash body.

Did you also happen to do this other Terminator themed bike? It was there as well. Nice airbrush work, but I liked the bolder colors on the other one better.

No..that wasn't me...Eagles had a contract with different dealers for Indian doing "custom-production" paintjobs..it was very educational for me...i wouldn't mind doing that again to be honest.
