my latest paint job

Hi everybody. I'm getting back into RC after almost 10 years. This is the first body I painted in 10 years for my sc10, all paint. Let me know what you think. I'm considering doing paint work on the side If any of you would be interested.

Sorry about the poor quality pics, camera phone

Just finished this one up for a guy last night. Again crappy phone pics (sorry) He wanted to pick it up right away and didnt have time to get any with a real camera.

First attempt at the "panel and ripped effects" As always tips, comments are always appreciated.

Thanks guys!

Jon, next time I do a ripped metal effect Ive got another idea Im going to try. That body was a HUGE learning experience and the first time Ive tried a ripped effect or metal panels. Thanks for the input guys!

Ben, you get it mounted up yet?
