This is a "bugginator" buggy body that my bro made. It was a little hard getting my hands in it because it's smaller than a stock mini-t shell. But it's a nice lid that will turn your AE RC18T into a buggy.
Yes even I use books for inspiration. The book that you see in the background is an awsome book on how to paint flames. the Author is Bruce Caldwell, in case anyone is curious. It comes with nice color pics and excellent descriptions on colors and various paints.
Looks good. You can tell you had a bit of a problem getting the brush in the body because of the drop shadows. All in all, one of your better flame jobs.
that was part of the problem the other problem is that i dropped my brush while the kneedle was exposed. The tip of the kneedle was bent slightly; this made me have to be super careful with the drop shadows because i didn't know which way the paint was going to be sprayed. I can paint large bodies fine, but the smaller details I'm going to have to wait till I receive my new kneedle.
