Tamiya RC Rally Cockpit! The easiest way to paint? Posco Paint pens!

[@RCBirds]

Value tips and relaxing to watch at the same time

[@MauzyrockRC]

Ah thanks! Glad to hear!

[@allangrant1326]

Genius ! Paint pens of course. I’ll use those to paint my wild one pilot

[@MauzyrockRC]

Yes! These are awesome! It does take a bit to fill everything in, but super easy! Clear coat it after! Cheers

[@SteadfastRC]

Outstanding man! this was satisfying to watch!

[@MauzyrockRC]

hey thanks! Glad to make such a thing!

[@AddamsPlayground]

I like it, great idea and it does look more fun than brush painting the whole thing! It turned out looking great!

[@MauzyrockRC]

Thanks a lot Addam! Yes a little less time perhaps. I know Rex's Rc sprayed his and used liquid mask on certain areas. Depends what IU have patience for that day lol!

[@rc-dom-uk]

Looks fantastic buddy. They aren’t easy to paint these moulds I find due to the lines being soft . Well done 😊👍

[@MauzyrockRC]

@@rc-dom-uk Cheers thanks!

[@MauzyrockRC]

@@rc-dom-uk Cheers! Yes a little funny. I had to get some smaller Posca pends of the same colors to get into the tight spots

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Looks great

[@MauzyrockRC]

Cheers! Like I said in the vid, if you squint it looks mint! 😂

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi dude, very satisfying to watch the cockpit come to life, as you say, a real 3D colouring book! Those pens are great, but yeah, a little primer may have helped, but this is how we learn, I know it's always trial and error with me for sure! Those driver's heads are always the hardest to do, I hate them, especially trying to do the faces, I think you did really well there my friend. Hope to see them getting a ride soon. Cheers! 😎👌👍

[@MauzyrockRC]

Thank you! Glad to entertain! Yes, one, primer all the way. The heads, yes, i even used this magnification headset but it was still all wobbly and shaky lol! Not the worst. I think finishing it with a flat clear made it pop and hid some things too.Thanks again! I appreciate the input! Cheers

[@theoagrc]

Very cool! I feel this is a far better way of tackling this than painting 😎

[@MauzyrockRC]

Yes, I do love my paint brushes, however I enjoyed this method for detailing. Thanks!

[@DustyFingersRC]

I think it looks fantastic. Pens are a great way to have more control. Really great colours 👏🏻

[@MauzyrockRC]

Hey thanks a lot! I was inspired by www.youtube.com/@MusicRCBicyclesCoffee They have an amazing track and collection of Tamiyas. 👍👍👍

[@DustyFingersRC]

@@MauzyrockRC I know that channel, the track is so cool and they film it well.

[@MauzyrockRC]

@@DustyFingersRC Right??

Hi there oh yes, a very nice cockpit and good alternative way to colour the cockpit. I’ve been doing the cockpits and drivers using brushes and Tamiya pots of paints, yep….the hard way 😊. Definitely primer is required, I’ve used Tamiya primer, also the Halfords plastic primer (although it’s recently risen in price from the £7.99 to £10.99), another one I’ve found on Amazon,mis the Hycote white primer (400ml), for around £7.95, which is reasonable. But other than that, it’s back to the brushes and a steady hand. Cockpit looks great. Best wishes, 😊

[@MauzyrockRC]

Thanks so much! I appreciate it! I have the brushes I need too, I used some on the larger surfaces. Penning in all of it could be somewhat time consuming too. I am in canada so I will look for similar primers at the craft store next time. Cheers!

[@jameskent3114]

Love it, nice work. That’s how I am going to do my stuff.

[@MauzyrockRC]

Awesome, hope it helps!

[@rchelistef506]

Tres belle job sa semble bien fonctionner avec ces crayons.

[@MauzyrockRC]

Pas pire!

[@sagnhill]

Very nice job. Im going to have try those paint pens. Maybe some sharpies too. The only thing I do is I glue the heads and sand off the seam and use putty to fill any seam cracks.

[@MauzyrockRC]

Yes! The paint pens are truly awesome. Getting in the smaller creases can be tough but they make different sizes tips. Ah what kind of putty do you use on the head seams? Thanks!

[@sagnhill]

@@MauzyrockRC U use the Tamiya putty. It works very well.

[@mattiasrc]

That looks awesome, nice job.

[@MauzyrockRC]

Thank you! I'll see if I can refine the process on the next one :)

[@MusicRCBicyclesCoffee]

Great work on this one buddy!!!

[@MauzyrockRC]

Cheers thanks!

[@RcNickster709]

Hey man.. Good Job.. Really really Good Job. I am very interested in the pens you used I tried the link and it didn't work. I found them after on Amazon, but I thought I would let you know. :) Awesome work man

[@MauzyrockRC]

Ahh thanks dude! The Posca pens are wicked. I got mine at Micheals and some smaller ones at Art Cansel on Kenmount Rd. I tried to share the KZbin Channel link of the dude that gave me the idea. I'll find the link. 👍👍👍

[@rexrcs]

Lmfao I dont need to squint it looks awesome, thanks for the shout, yes, primer would make many much more paints stick gooder

[@MauzyrockRC]

Awwww thanks dude! Absolutely priming on the next one.. 😂😂

[@mlubecke]
