Putting aside the GLaDOS quote... I've been pretty busy lately and I've been getting back into an old hobby of mine, that is remote control car racing. It's something that I did years ago and left it because of work commitments. One part of the hobby involves painting the body of your car, which can be quite a task sometimes.
The Silvia body. It's a green called Lime Ice backed with Inca Gold to give it a gold look under certain light.

Eventually I'll have a few other bodies to show off as I'm planning on buying a spray gun to do detailed designs. The hard part is painting in reverse, meaning that you have to do all your detail first and back it with the solid colour since you actually paint on the inside of the shell. Imagine painting on a sheet of glass.
It's been a long time. How have you been?

That's why I wanna get an Air gun cause it's more of a focused form of painting.

Green is an awesome colour. :) It's somewhat fruity and tasty. :DQuote:
