I take it the serpent is a jackal hobbies paint transfer? If so how do you find it? With mine it seems no matter how much paint I spray behind it that it chips easily with even the most minor impacts.

Hello Seano,
It is indeed a Jackal transfer. Have had no problems with it even after
a few crashes. Probably depends on where the transfer is placed. With
me it doesn't get to much stress from an impact since it doesn't touch
the front end of the car.
Ciao

Did you spray much paint behind it? Mine is in the same place but it is smaller so further in from the edges of the body, but yeah it's still chipping.

Great looking bodies by the way

Seano,
I did spray a whole layer of white, water based paint
behind it. Maybe that is the difference.
What kind of paint did you spray behind it ? If you used
normal RC paint it might be to aggresive.
Thanks for the compliment on the bodies. Lot of hours invested
into them
Ciao,

Hello Greenbandit,
Was the other one yours ?
I did copy the design which I think is very original but
I gave it my own color interpretation.

Yes, the other was mine. No worries. It is kind of cool to be "copied".

Yeah I just used normal RC paint, just rattle can stuff. I could probably scratch it off just with my fingernail, very strange.

And your welcome, I only wish I was that talented

Had to add mine. This is the latest one anyway. I might post the rest of the bodies I've done later:

Sorry about double posting if indeed I am.

Here are some of my bodies although I have to admit, you guys are artist while I am just tiring to imitate paint jobs I have seen online. Thanks for the ideas.
