Re: NASTRUCK.

I still have some detail work to do but it's coming along. Hopefully I will be better prepared for this race than for the Rapid 500.

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

Re: NASTRUCK.

Looks good Rico

Re: NASTRUCK.

It looks great Rico! I really like the wheel inserts! Hopefully we can have a close battle again!

Re: NASTRUCK.

That came out nice.   Looks like if I want to race anytime soon.  I'm  going to have to get into 1/24. Have to start with a controller  and go from there...

Re: NASTRUCK.

Detail work?  Aren't you about to thrash that thing?

"Big Smooth"

Re: NASTRUCK.

Man Rico, that truck looks very nice. You do realize that it COULD get scratched up a little in the heat of battle! Might even get some additional paint on it from other trucks in the area! See ya. this Sat. I hope.

Re: NASTRUCK.

Doc Doom; we would like to have you join the 1/24th. gang. I have an extra controller you can use if you can make it here. Perhaps someone has a car and truck to lend.
