TF2 Project - Axial Roll Cage update...
Bought a Trailfinder 2 cause I loved the rig after I saw it online last January while researching about crawlers. I said to myself I have to buy that truck. The body is detailed compared to the lexan bodies. I like putting on details since I came from 1/6 scale military action figure collection. Now I've put that hobby on hold cause I've been going crazy and enjoying my time in this new equally addicting hobby.
Anyways, here's the TF2 when I purchased it last February.
The color was nice, but I said I need to personalize it to make it my own. So I looked for inspirations online and found this cool photo.
Started out by removing the old paint with a graffiti remover, easiest method to remove paint. Really worked well I must say.
Body primed and first layer of paint
Decals and a few datails, rust, weathering...
Made my own side decals with reflective vinyl.
I've since changed mags and put LED's on it, will post updated photos as I go along. haven't mounted the body yet, and needs an interior. I'm planning and saving to get the awesome detailed interior on ebay, but may take awhile, so I just sprayed matte clear on the windshield to conceal the bare interior. :lmao:
Cheers!
