Kyosho Turbo Scorpion Working Visor

[@DustyFingersRC]

My RCElf story: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3aZo5aEi7Kebc0&feature=shares It was winter time and the air was damper than in the summer, that was why I waited longer than normal when applying the lacquer to the helmet. In the summer I would leave it for just 15-20 mins.

Great video clear and easy to understand instructions

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks, appreciate the feedback 👍🏻

Hi from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 brilliant video sharing

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks for the feedback and glad you liked it. Much appreciated 👍🏻

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

It could of taken 2 yrs to build this buggy, it came out amazingly! What an epic looking and I’ll bet performing buggy! I’d say by the outcome it was worthwhile taking your time! Awesome share buddy!🙌🏽 👍🏻😃

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks, the painting really did slow me up too. Not sure I should confess this but....I spent over a week deciding where all the stickers would go 🤣 I really took my time and wanted it to be as perfect as I thought it should be.

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

@@DustyFingersRC it was worth the indecisiveness! Well done brother!👍🏻😃✌🏻

[@RCplamodel]

*Wow awesome video my friend,, and cool rc car 👍👍💯*

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks, appreciate it👍🏻

[@Toystheyrenot]

Love the working visor. Great attention to detail!👍😊

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks mate 👍🏻

[@musicnature007]

สุดยอด เป็นเคล็ดลับที่ดีมาก ขอบคุณที่แบ่งปัน follow the next episode 🔔💕👍

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thank you 💕 🙏🏻

[@rc-dom-uk]

Love the visor and wish I did it with my TS. The Tomahawk is a sealed cab so perhaps not as essential but I love the idea of the driver having that visor . Good brain there mate 😊👍👍👍

[@DustyFingersRC]

Cheers mate, it was bugging me and as the Turbo Scorpion is an open cockpit it's cool to have.

[@AddamsPlayground]

I never understood the whole visor decal either. I just cut the top strip off it it and applied it to the helmet and painted the rest. The flip up visor is a really cool idea though, I like it!

[@DustyFingersRC]

🙂, cheers ,👍🏻

[@powersmodelgarage]

Wow, very cool. Nice work on that visor 👍

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks, appreciate that👍🏻

[@jdpaslRC]

Congratulations, RC ELF is great guy!

[@DustyFingersRC]

100% amazing

[@RCBirds]

Hreat build and awesome idea. I took the short cut and just glued the visor on the helmet😉. But the next time...

[@DustyFingersRC]

Mine will probably stay shut in the Turbo Optima to be honest. In the Turbo Scorpion I will have it open and closed when I do a running video.

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hey awesome tips and a great format to the video Damian. I sometimes spend a fair bit of time on these driver heads but I don't quite go to such lengths to eliminate the seam. You have reminded me that I used to use that glue that melted the plastic. I should get some because I'm just using super glue for everything. Top stuff mate 🙂

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks Pete. I bought some when I restored the King Blackfoot body. I liked using it, even shaved some little bits of plastic to fill holes or dents. Left it proud and sanding it back. Toy welding lol

[@paulmcnamara16]

Looks proper nice buddy! Loving the delivery clear concise and a sense of humour! "Squeeky bum time!" Love it!

[@DustyFingersRC]

Ha ha, finally...someone commented on the squeeky bum lol. Cheers mate 👍🏻🤣

[@paulmcnamara16]

@DustyFingersRC proper made me giggle especially that little graphic 🤣👌

[@paulmcnamara16]

Just uploading my first RC Update in months and watching this has made me realise just how out of practice I really am! 😱

[@DustyFingersRC]

It is hard when you leave it a while. I had only done shorts for quite a while so odd trying to get back in to it again.

[@M.A.S.Ked-Crusader]

Cracking video buddy, brilliant detail on the drivers head, in the 80s I would have just been happy to see someone using an rc down the park, I think my dad let me use his twice, I did skid his rough rider into a kerb, that probably had something to do with it lol ! I remember an episode of Grange Hill where there were kids using rcs on a bit of waste land, im pretty sure one was a purple monster beetle, that always stuck in my mind, really looking forward to seeing these kyoshos up and running !

[@DustyFingersRC]

Brilliant, love that story. Back in the day I don't remember anyone even looking at how the driver was painted at all. It actually looks worse on camera, in real life it looks fine but my eye are maybe soft focus 🤣

[@DustyFingersRC]

Going to see if I can find the Grange Hill footage.

[@M.A.S.Ked-Crusader]

@@DustyFingersRC I have only painted one figure and that was on my FAV, the first time I took it out he lost both arms, never again lol, I appreciate the effort people put in it’s worth doing but I usually don’t bother

[@M.A.S.Ked-Crusader]

@@DustyFingersRC I hope you can find it, I tried ages ago but no luck

[@DustyFingersRC]

@@M.A.S.Ked-Crusader only found the Sooty & Sweep episode, that is on YT. Not found Grange Hill yet

[@MauzyrockRC]

Yo! I loved it. Great pacing and nice detail with the visor. Thanks!

[@DustyFingersRC]

Cheers, appreciate that feedback 👍🏻

[@LukesVintageRC]

Luv the RCELF! Great job 👏

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks for taking a look 👍🏻

[@KaiCityRC]

I never used any of the visor decals either. Though, I did keep them just in case (highly likely, given my poor painting skills) I needed to cover up a botched paint job! 😅 Nice idea to make a working visor out of them! 👍

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks fort the feedback, much appreciated. We all enjoy your Kyosho videos 👍🏻

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Damian, just popped over from the link in your last video! Another masterpiece here! All the time and effort paid off for sure. Like you, I always try my best on the detailing, even if most folks won't appreciate it when watching from a distance or when the buggy is whizzing past, I know the detail is there! Another epic video production, dude, fully appreciated here! 🤩✌🤝👍

[@DustyFingersRC]

The helmet came out well, drivers face isn't bad from arms length 😂👍🏻 Glad you followed the link, YT lives that. Cheers

[@MarkBryanRC]

@@DustyFingersRC Hehe, yeah, all my drivers faces are like that! 🤣🤣 Cheers!

[@theoagrc]

Brilliant idea dude! Looks great 😎

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks mate 👍🏻

[@VINTAGEBACKYARDRC]

That looks fantastic! I am so very bad at painting driver figures... Good work!

[@DustyFingersRC]

I am not good at the faces but got to keep trying. 👍🏻

[@grantmckendry3323]

If the RC thing fails you could always get a job as a make-up artist 😀 Great work again.

[@DustyFingersRC]

🤣

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Nice work, great video, looks awesome

[@DustyFingersRC]

Cheers Duke, appreciate it

[@keithianlocke]

Quality video mate. 👍

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks mate, did you watch the first one? The RCElf Story?

[@keithianlocke]

@@DustyFingersRC just did. Watching vids on feed from top to bottom. 👍.

[@JF-RC]

Hi there Damian, I think the driver figure looks great, I use the same process (except for a visor, which is a neat idea). Amazing video, really enjoyed that. Best wishes 😊😊😊

[@DustyFingersRC]

Hi John, thanks. The join line is a good think to delete I agree 👍🏻

[@HumbleVintageRC]

what a great build😮😮😮 I always feel its so difficult to do paint job for driver😢

[@DustyFingersRC]

So very tricky indeed 👍🏻

[@alwaysrc5352]

I just found your channel and it’s sweet! Cool video! It would be cool to get a tamiya kit at some point.

[@DustyFingersRC]

Hi, the Tamiya lots are cool and I love the building process. They Kyosho Kts, although more expensive, are well worth it as the quality is excellent. What you would spend on Tamiya Hop Ups plus kit cost, a Kyosho comes Hopped Up really. Thanks for watching the video 👍🏻
