Senton Monster Fusion

[Goingnorth75]

Here is my newly painted body, waiting for a nice day to get pics in the sun.
Messed up and put to much silver, I backed the silver with fiery orange hoping orange would speckle through.
Also about 15 layers of smoke on windows maybe to much.

That by far is my favorite SC body. Looks good!

 

[Goingnorth75]

Thanks
I tried to mask the smaller louvers and other details but not enough skill/patients to mask it good. Maybe next time!

You going to add decals or anything?

Yes, monster fusion sticker on each side, maybe flaming skulls shown in background, not exactly sure yet, need to get looking up stuff on amazon. Might take black PL sticker in center of hood off and put skull there.

...and an Arrma Forum sticker?

 

[Goingnorth75]

Haha, will have to look into that as well.
Orange does seam to be a recurring theme.

Just a big learning curve for me at the moment, so excuse my question if it’s dumb.
When you say you put too much silver and you backed that with the Orange, are you referring to the silver inserts only or did you put a light coat of silver on it all then the orange but pure silver on the inserts?
Or put another way, where the body appears orange is that pure orange only?
See it does sound dumb ?

I think OP didn't intend to make the silver racing stripes solid silver. Maybe he sprayed too much silver for those that the orange he sprayed behind it wasn't visible enough. You could achieve "ghost stripes" by applying a very light (effectively semi transparent) coat of silver backed with the orange color. If you put it on too thick though you lose the semi transparency and the backing color won't show through enough. That's how I interpreted their comment anyway.

Thankyou for that, I believe I understand where your coming from. And I will be having a go at this, I believe this part of the hobby will be of interest for me.
I learned to spray car and motorcycles when I was working in a completely different job.
I wanted to learn body work / welding / body forming / and paint spraying . So I offered free labour at a body shop unit on an industrial estate in exchange for teaching me.
Obviously if your not doing it regularly or deep enough in each aspect then you will be a master of none.
But I can do presentable jobs. I’ve done car and motorcycle for myself and friends but I ain’t no professional.
I want to do this with these also.

What he said, I first sprayed many layers of orange then removed masking and put down a couple layers of silver, the silver laid down thicker than I wanted. Much thicker than the orange. I then sprayed orange back over the silver to try and get some orange flake to show through.

Does anyone know if that awesome body shell would fit on a senton 3s blx v3?

Pretty sure that is a senton 3s, Goingnorth75 mentioned the wheels with a 14mm hex. Crack on!

Mine is a senton 3s blx v2, I haven’t looked at the specs for the current ones but they look the same.
I am running a typhon body now, still have monster fusion. At high speed and windy conditions it sailed like a kite and filled up with to much mud and snow. I switch back to the fusion if running on a short track, only takes 10 min to switch everything around.
