Thanks! An Avante would be a great addition to your collection. I know the price is up on them at the moment but maybe they'll re-release then yet again or at least bring a new batch and the price might come down. 👍
Nice going bro looking amazing as always from you brilliant idea on turning them upside down wen painted to stop the dust will definitely be using that tip for the future 👌👍😎
That came out really nice . I wish they would make those paint cans a couple of ounces bigger i always feel like I’m stretching it . Can’t wait to see the next video .
Thanks! Oh yeah, I agree. My issue is I usually have 1/3rd left after one body, then need a new can for the next body. Which still leaves me with 1/3rd left in the second can. 🤣
Top work mate , just love that color blue . I'm building the wife's low rider pumpkin. Very nice kit , used bearings and yeah racing shocks . Told the wife to paint it so I don't get the blame when she stuffs it up. These little tamiyas go well , plenty of fun . Need a few more , can't wait to see this Avante go. Enjoy mate.
Thanks mate. Awesome, the Pumpkin should handle much better with those shocks. Haha, nice plan I've tried that with my girlfriend but she flat refuses to paint or put stickers on. I'm sure they Pumpkin will turn out nice, I've not see a bad one yet. Hoping to have the Avante done so I can run it this week but the weather isn't the best and I still don't have the paint, so maybe next week. Take it easy mate and enjoy your builds! 👍
Bout time you put some clothes on poor Sedrick 😂 That paint job turned out spot on mate! Nice colour too 👌🦘🇦🇺 PS, Better give Sedrick more food so he can fatten up for winter lol, poor bugger!
I did that just for you mate, but then putting pants on him just seemed like too much work. 🤣 Yeah I'm pretty happy with it. The Avante body seems to come to life once the decals go on. I figure there's plenty of spiders in the shed for him to eat, there's usually 3-4 big meaty Huntsmans in there at any one time. 😂
@@RCHobbyShed Hahaaaa I noticed in the beginning he was naked then all of a sudden he had a shirt on pmsl 😂 Nothing like nibbling on a freshly BBQ'd set of huntsman or big fat Funnel-Web spiders legs num num 😀 I picked up the Tamiya volkswagen type 2 kombi yesterday when I was in Crazy Hobbies, I've had my eye on one for ages and couldn't believe it was on the shelf! Not sure weather to do a classic build or I was thinking of making some custom parts to turn it into a sleeper drag Kombi with fat tyres tucked under the body in the rear etc, not to race but just for something different without destroying it obviously. He's getting the turbo scorpion kit in soon so I'll most likely get it, they look so good! Thanks for the inspiration mate 🍻🦘🇦🇺
Lol, I'm in Vic, so no Funnel Webs. Plenty of Cockroaches though! 😂 Oh nice, a full custom Kombi would look awesome. Sounds like a great idea! For sure, you need the Turbo Scorpion. They look awesome, another one I've drooled over since I was a young lad. I bought one about a year ago but it's not built yet. Will build it soon though. Go get it! 😁👍
@@RCHobbyShed Yeh I'm sold on the Turbo Scorpion, as soon as they come in stock I think I'll be grabbing it 😁. Yeh I could do a Johny Jalopy like the one on Full Custom Garage TV show! That guy puts out some awesome looking vehicles 👌, if you haven't seen the show you should check it out!. I can send some Funnel - Webb's and snakes across the border for you to play with if you get bored lol hehe
You could just use the blue, but it will take a LOT of coats to get enough on there where you can't see through it. The silver seals it off with 1-2 coats, makes it "pop" a little more too. 👍
Sweet bodywork, mate! Great job on the spraying, it sure turned out peachy - don't you just love peeling that protective film off? So satisfying when that shiny lexan is revealed! Top job my friend! :))
Great video Mick...finally got an avante 2011 that needs built!!!! Not to change the subject....but is that an acoustic bass cab i see in the corner of the shed??
Thanks Bill! Awesome, I know you're gonna love the build and look magnificent when built. No mate, that's my "boombox" I built around 20 years ago. Kind of setup to be a jukebox and basically uses left over car amplifiers and speakers. 12 inch sub in the bottom and 6inch 3 ways in the top. Using a 20inch tab on top for playing music videos. I do have a guitar and amp but I also have either too many fingers or not enough so it's just an ornament 😂👍
Its coming along there, looking good, about ready for liftoff! Looking forward to the next one man. BTW have you done a build for the turbo optima Rere? The reason I'm asking is I've got mine pretty much finished and it turned out great build was awesome too might be a nice one to add to your collection.
Thanks! I haven't done a Turbo Optima rere build as yet but I will definitely get one and do a build a video. The Turbo Optima is the only one from the Legendary Series I don't have... yet. 🙂👍
Your the best Mick,
Ralphie
Nice great job mate
Turned out real nice and some great painting tips as well, 2 thumbs up man.
Thank you! Cheers! 🙂👍
Nice looking paint job. 👍🏼
Thank you! 🙂👍
Mint build mate! Love the colour! The build is great
Thank you. I'm very happy with it so far. 🙂👍
Very Nice, wants to make go spend some money on an Avanti.. Another car that's been on my radar for a long time. Maybe one day. Great build. Cheers

Very nice job on the paint!
Thanks mate. 🙂👍
Great video and paint job
Thanks mate. 🙂👍
The paint job is really at the top, the result is great, bravo !! Great video !!
Thanks mate. Hopefully it will be finished this week. 👍
@@RCHobbyShed 😊👍
Nice going bro looking amazing as always from you brilliant idea on turning them upside down wen painted to stop the dust will definitely be using that tip for the future 👌👍😎
Thanks mate. My shed is pretty dusty so I learned to turn them that way pretty quick. Can't do it so easy with a hard body though. 👍
I'm glad I've discovered your channel! Awesome content! Keep it up! :)
Thanks, will do!

Great job! Question, why use the silver when it’s covered up? Could you just use one color only?
You could just use the blue, but it will take a LOT of coats to get enough on there where you can't see through it. The silver seals it off with 1-2 coats, makes it "pop" a little more too. 👍

Thanks mate. Oh yeah, peeling the film off the body is one of the most satisfying moments in any build. 🙂👍
Well painted. Needs a Kyosho badge on it though.
Thanks mate. Lol, the Avante might actually win a race then... Nah, prolly not. 😂🤣

@@RCHobbyShed awesome...i'm sure it sounds great with some Maiden playin thru it,or any metal for that matter;)
