The design is based on the rising sun and the Hayabusa GSX1300R logo, it covers up a multitude of carbon sins :\| It's not completely finished still have to outline the sun rays in black as you can see I have partially done the right one, then finish off the clear coat, but it's been a fun learning experience I'm not sold on the grey text :\ David Stevens YouTube: Comment \| Rate \| Subscribe Instagram Composite Projects Body Package for Dax Rush RC Car Touring Body 1/10 Scale Edited 9 Years Ago by davro

Air brushing is something I have want to learn to do, I feel like I do everything the hard way by not knowing how to do it haha. I sort of agree on the grey text, it sort of blends in a bit too much. Silver?

Group: Forum Members Posts: 300, Visits: 2.2K	Thanks Hanaldo I am going to try and practice a lot more, have found some decent youtube airbrush tutorial sites to learn from. https://www.youtube.com/user/airbrushtutor/videos Tried full silver text first but I found it popped out to much took the eye away to much if you know what I mean. Was going for a subtle look some thing that does not really jump out as the car colour theme is black on black, was thinking more like the hayabusa logo and have lines hashing though it, maybe gentle silver lines going though the grey text similar to the logo above.

Just need to cut out some carbon rings on the CNC milling machine for the internal fitment of the lights and wiring, really pleased with the outcome, blends in quite well without standing out to much David Stevens YouTube: Comment \| Rate \| Subscribe Instagram Composite Projects Body Package for Dax Rush RC Car Touring Body 1/10 Scale Edited 9 Years Ago by davro

Start the mould making process, please sell some apple fresh smelling resin additive ... Support brace for the inner return flange to fix onto. Just need to finish welding up the support brace, fill up edges with fibre glass and gel coat, trim back and build an inner flange out of flouted board for the inner return part of the wheel arch.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 300, Visits: 2.2K	New wing mirror bodies, first attempt at a CNC mould found a little issue with Fusion360 contour operation offsets, but other than that it turn out fine. Input line slipped and sucked in some air bubbles, no damage done ... This pair are done in some Carbon Twaron off cuts, going to make another set in pure carbon as I forgot how much of a pain the Twaron make sanding the edges. Time to clear coat the pair David Stevens YouTube: Comment \| Rate \| Subscribe Instagram Composite Projects Body Package for Dax Rush RC Car Touring Body 1/10 Scale Edited 9 Years Ago by davro
