Project Rotary

[Kaze]

So here's a semi mixed project. It's a body mount conversion from another 1/28th RC, however the detail on the shell isn't up to standard. So I'm going to be creating some components and body work from scratch such as headlight and taillight buckets. Also bodywork will be converting this into the newest 2010 version of the RX. Here are some pics...

this is going to be a awesome project! kaze your work is second to none!

[lol]

sigh.

was that much putty needed to fill in bumper gaps?

[Kaze]

umm, no, the previous owner of this shell was gonna make a Widebody kit/custom kit onto it, but gave up at the start, so I got the shell with putty on it, thus why i sanded it all down.

I'm looking forward to this. What type of RC did you get that body from?

[bnR34]

so do it FinalGear!

My Hiatus lasted way too long and the community is mostly dead. It's still so relaxing and revitalizing to pull all of these shells and projects out from hiding... I even ordered a 3D printer to help me out with some mods for old and new xmods.
