The shell is an RClexan DEX410, its slightly smoother than the origional 410,
there is no step on the side either. It also gives you more space for electrics.
and they are a bargain price too! See HarlowS on here.

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm really enjoying painting!
I just need a few more shells to paint :D

If your struggling

where did you get those gold washers for the wing?

many thanks

lewis

they are just the gold part behind the whell on the rear driveshafts, doesnt fit very well but does hold the wind down :D

its not a dedicated wingmount if that helps.

looking good there matt :thumbsup:

Shells
 

You've really taken off with the shell painting pal. Not really an expert on the field but there are some real quality eye candy designs.

Will definitely be getting you to do my next one.

:thumbsup:

Not been doing much painting for the last week or so,
been busy with work :thumbdown:

Just ordered some more colours from RCS hopefully they should be here soon, I have a few more shell to be done this week

Something VERY different,
My parts box, Its airbrushed on the inside of the lid. Backed with a clear then a sheet of vinyl so it doesn't get scratched.

I have rushed this a little so its not 100% perfect, It was just a trial to see if it worked!

Thats pretty cool, think I may just do one myself :D, I didn't realise how big your pitbox was before you put your buggy next too it.

They are pretty big! Perfect for racing bits!

If you do paint one, Make sure you really attack it with a scouring pad,
I didn't just cleaned it, And I was having a hard time getting the pin lines to stick to the plastic.

the design is not 100% either

I really like that! I like it more than the shell, hope that doesn't cause offence! All nice though.

Haha! its not so good in the flesh! loads of mistakes!

I'm going to do the shells again, now I have a bit more experience, I'm going to loose some of the pin lines. Its a bit overkill.

hey mat looking good mate defo getting there mate, loving the parts box lid good idea budie,

Loving the parts box lid and that is quite a size ! Cool idea thought.

One for Maddy,

Those losi shells are bloody hard to paint.!!

Fantastic mate
love it
cheers

some good work there, very colourful!

I'm looking to paint a cougar shell very soon, was thinking about one colour tho, but seeing these? I dunno, how much would you charge me?

not really bothered about design!!

Glad you like it :thumbsup:

I really like this one, Best yet i think!
The pictures really don't do it justice the only thing i think is missing,is maybe a white or pink pinstripe around the black.

very nice matt :thumbsup:

I'm annoyed I can't get a better picture!!

How about having a white background?, the shell stands out more then.

Btw AWESOME shell mate :thumbsup:

Thanks.

Think your right, Il have to go invest in a white sheet!

A contrasting pin stripe around the darker colour would have brought it out better.

I would buy a large ( as large as you can get ) piece of thin white card. Also try using flash when you take the shot, you get a bit of hotspot where it's reflected in the body shell but it will bring the colours out, failing that shoot outside in the sun, you might have to wait until one day in late may though and then it'll be another year before you can take another good shot so I'd rely on the flash :lol:

A silver or chrome stripe would have been ace!
In person it look fine just not quite as good of the pics!

I will pick you a couple up at work tommorow for you:thumbsup:

Here we go, Been busy in my VERY cold garage sat in front of a tiny fan heater!! Its for Alan Reeves.

Hope you like it :thumbsup:

(The Lime is florescent but again my camera wont catch it :thumbdown:)

:thumbsup:

Good job Matt, can't wait to see it in the flesh :thumbsup:

Looks 100% better in the flesh :thumbsup:

As Ian said if you use a white background it will help. It may also help if you stand back from the subject and zoom in and use the flash quite heavily, you will help eliminate reflections but hopefully also pick out the colour details.

Looking good though buddy:thumbsup:

And one for Lee Smith....

Thanks pal! Looks ace :lol: (Although i would say that!)
hope your liking the MCS!

Finally got round to digging out my shell and wings so I will get them in the post to you ASAP.

We can discuss colours next week but you will be glad to know it's mainly Blue and Pink.

Something a little different!

Found this having a clear out today, this was my airbrushing prime when I was in UNI
