Stumbled across this board whilst searching for a UK supplier of Bob Dively's. Still not found an answer to that question but there is some serious work here, so thought I would register.
I got my first RC truck in Jan, and have painted 3 shells so far. NOt in the same league as others here, but thought I would share anyway :).
Hopefully I can do something more original if I ever find a seller of decent masking fluid.

Welcome to the boards!!

Nice looking work! You've got tallent! Are the asian characters internal graphics or painted on? For having only done 3 bodies, you've picked up painting RC bodies pretty quickly!

Is the spade from 5 Star Stories? If so, it's one that I haven't seen before, but good to see someone else who likes them.

Thanks for the comments guys.
The Asian characters are from an XXXmain mask set.
THe Siren Spade is from FSS :) it won me first prize in an online comp in Hong Kong recently (so I'm quite proud of it). I know it's a bit OT but if you like this stuff take a quick peak here. (http://www.funtigo.com/paldentrax?g=379107)

Thanks for the quick peak. Congrats on the first prize. Those FSS kits in resin are near impossible to find here in the States.
