Pics from my latest off shoot from the truck hobby

RC monster trucks --- here is a transformation from a soulless Chevrofordota body to a fairly sweet '71 - '72 C-10. (this whole model painting experience is an exercise in pain i dont want to soon repeat, but stickers are awesome for covering the bad spots)

here goes

The before shots --- the body the truck came with, followed by a pic of the new blank C-10 body, then the finished product. I can definitely nit pick it, but i am stoked at my results for a first timer with 2 hours to spare
