I actually looked around for a toy parrot to get for pictures when this happened, but I never found one worth bothering with.

Really nice job Thompson~!

WOW! That cooler assembly turned out looking great! :D

I am applying the decals now.

Use the smallest of the SCC logos.

Trim the CHAMPION tight on the top and bottom.

Thanks guys!

Decal update...

First time I've used these decals before. I used the MicroSOL I have and this works great. Do as the instructions say, 20 sec in hot water, then out and then 30 sec before removing from paper backing.

Soak the area with MicroSOL before applying and add a covering coat over after you dab off/squeeze smooth. Careful—the solvent will dissolve the decal clear after a few coats. I found that trying to get the decal in the right location—angle the first time is best.

OMG Looking great! Even the motor matches the blue too.

How did you mount the body?

[waaytoomuchintothis]

The body is just resting on the tires for the shots. Its really just how I dried the Future.

I've read a lot of how to's on applying Future, did you brush it on or use an air brush? If brushed on, does it go on thick and smooth out? Just curious, I don't have any yet, but will imagine buying a jug soon. I was planning to use my Krylon crystal clear acrylic, couple of mist coats, then thicker ones.
