Going crazy painting a new shell! Airbrush paints without the airbrush ...

I decided my LCG Crawler needed a new shell as the chopped up Dodge Ram 1500 (Modern day power wagon) shell wasn't cutting it. So I decided to get a Mon-tec Rock Body and some Pro-Line airbrush paint and do something a little different.
It made a complete mess and my fingers were about 6 different colours but it turned out better than I expected and I love it. I hope this video gives you a bit of inspiration too!

Looks amazing in the (multicoloured) flesh!

Great idea!!! Looks RADtastic!

[@rcnitroflux2361]

Looks good bro nice painting skills

[@goya_guru2570]

Your videos are getting more professional, nice work. How about some running videos?

[@JustScalin]

Thanks, took a while to edit but really enjoyed it. Running videos are on the way once the weather improves

Looks great! I imagine using air brush paint is ultimately less expensive than aerosol paint as well. I'm my area of the states those little cans are $7 to $8 now.

[@JustScalin]

To be honest I’m not sure, but it was fun and less messy :)

[@North49RC]

The paint job isn't my style but you definitely inspired some ideas for sure. Thank you for the vid

[@JustScalin]

Yeah, it’s not for everyone. I do seem to like to stick out a bit with the trucks

[@North49RC]

@@JustScalin This is a technique you could use for scale details though. Keep it shiny side up bro

[@JustScalin]

Oh wow that’s an awesome idea!

Still waiting on that gearbox stl, haha.

It’s coming! :)

Looks like you ran through a paint ball tournament.

To be honest it felt like it too!

Cool body

Thank you

Ouch, just weighed my new body, 169 grams before trimming

Nice. Thanks for upload. Where are such a nice rocks? I have been recently at Curbar Edge and there is exreemly huge range of rocks to choose from

[@JustScalin]

That was Almscliffe Crag near Harrogate

@@JustScalin hmm miles ways. such a shame... anyway nice rig you are bulding. BTW what is the cost of the material to print cab?

[@JustScalin]

Maybe Ramshaw Rocks, Upper Burbage Bridge or Suprise View are closer to you? The Dodge Ram shell was two rolls of PLA and 250ml of epoxy. There’s definitely left over material though

[@Evanj7485]

didnt it come with any light stickers for it

[@JustScalin]

Yeah, I’m not a huge scale person so running it without them for now

[@aymanmohamdy9625]

Love your videos and your builds but a friendly advice look for a good painter 😅

Can’t be looking too professional now :)

[@Lokithefeline]

team issue?

[@JustScalin]

Yeah it’s a set of rails that are available to the NWSD team only as they are for us to do R&D on. The newer scattergun chassis from NWSD takes inspiration from these rails

[@heady2008]

You'll certainly be able to pick your rig out of a Recon G6 line up. I used Pro-Line Red Oxide airbrush lexan paint applied by brush as the base layers for my Baja Bug and TRX-4 Sport shell. Two coats gave good coverage and it's a perfect base when using the salt rust weathering technique. kzbin.info/www/bejne/enrNmYqmpLebg8k

[@JustScalin]

Sounds good, I was going to look into a salt rust technique for another truck
