    Awesome video, as always! If I'm lucky enough to win that awesome FJ40 body, I'd paint it Heath Gray with two coats of varying rust colors underneath. Then I'd let the magic begin with all the rock scars and trail rash! Wish me luck please! Good luck everyone!

    I would love to win this to turn my scx24 into something that looks a little cooler. I would probably paint mine brown to match the room that it is displayed in. I don't enjoy driving or working on the small scale stuff all that much, so let's make it a look a little nicer on that shelf. Thanks for all you do Matt!

    I'd paint the blue one with a slightly darker shade of the same blue, and let the original colour bleed through a bit on the sky-facing surfaces for a bit of a "sunbleached" effect. Loving the Harbody Crawler Co.'s efforts on packaging! Really shows the quality and attention to detail when one considers the packaging, whether it's the blister packs, boxes, or even catchy title graphics with theme music that gets stuck in your head all day when anybody even says the word "weekly"...

    I think that I would go with kind of a blueish gray color. Always fun to watch some of your detailing techniques!
