[Mr.Duke]

If you like that sort of film @Mr.Duke have you seen "Insanity" by Big Brain?

I got some for Christmas last year, just haven't found the right thing to use it on yet.

Look forward to seeing what else you get up to.

Thanks
Just looked up their site. Lots of new patterns I've not seen before. ?

That's very impressive! Great job! I may try that with my Kraton if I can find some skull print.

This place? http://gobigbrain.com/

I like how they put a quarter on the design so you can get an idea of what size the shapes, skulls, bullets ect are.

You're welcome, ....yes they do some great stuff.

I almost used that "Insanity" film on a BB airgun I was refurbishing last year but in the end I went and did that in black snake skin film with a gold base coat, ...all gansta' in it.

That will look SICK..!!????

 

[Mr.Duke]

I had the pleasure of working with fellow Arrma Forum member @slick2500 on this latest project. He gets credit for choosing all the ingredients while I mixed them together and put the colors down.

If I toke the hydro high-test, no doubt the patience will come to ease into a hydro-dip project. You guys have continued to inspire me here.

I plan to hit the lhs 2 hours away tomorrow for diff fluid (unless I get called to work) and they have tons of clear bodies on-hand....with a list and ready to buy +paint for brcc at least.
Unfortunately this shop were all Traxxas last year when I went but maybe they've come around. Can't blame em for needed support any way they can get it but wish they could feel comfortable offering more brands.
If I get to go, I report back with my cache.

You are now the Hydro Dip Master. Where you take us, we will follow.

 

[slick2500]

Thanks again @Mr.Duke got the body all mounted up. I might just keep this as a display body it looks way too sick to bash with. Pictures do no justice.

 

[ddq5auce]

Both of those look nicely badass )

 

[slick2500]

It's the same body.

 

[Mr.Duke]

At it again ?
Working on this project with one of our own, to spice up his Typhon with a one off body graphic

More to follow......

 

[bicketybam]

Looks amazing! Must be going to some redneck ?

 

[Mr.Duke]

If you've seen any of his bashing videos that souuuuuthern drawl is as thick as the day is long. I've adopted the same dialect when reading posts ?

 

[Mr.Duke]

All done
