We need a little break from work and Venice living, so this week my wife and me are on holidays in our cottage on the alps. Some gardening and some renewing works are in our plans... for sure I will be involved in some mumbling about future RC works.

397 - BBX Renewed, Driver Start Your Engine!
Finally my BBX has the decent driver figure I've planned from the early beginning. Most of fails are due to the desperate attempt to avoid the use of paint brushes and to achieve this result I got all of my knowledge as modeller plus several sorceries as masking tape, masking fluid, paint markers, spray cans... in short everything to compensate the loss of sight due to be a Gen X guy.

396 - New Paint For The Wild One
Some minor works have been made on my Wild One: new body posts, new servo horn and new screws for ESC switch but the main is the new paint for its body.

Well it could look a bit monotonous because the paint scheme is more or less the same of my Ultima and BBX but I'm pretty satisfied to have find a good colors combination after all this years in the hobby and like to have a kind of team livery for the running cars in my fleet.
