Cartoon RC Car Body | How I Painted My RC Body To Look Like A Cartoon 

Thanks mate! Thanks for the kind words as always. Haha yeah, I remembered I have a new MST chassis somewhere which after thinking later, I think is a drift chassis. So no good for this one, I'll grab a touring car chassis for it at some stage. Glad you enjoyed the video mate. Haha, yeah I can see loads more of these popping up in the next month or so! 😂👍

​Pleasure Mick, Thanks mate👍. Spewing about the MST chassis being a drifter!. BTW the white reflections you painted on worked really well hu, at one stage we could see the same reflection from your lights👌.

@@outbackrcaustralia4895 Haha, well I think it's a drifter. I remember its has adjustable wheel base and mid or rear motor mounts, but just can't remember where it is. I'm guessing it's in the same "safe place" as my two missing Ultima's 😂. Thanks mate, thought about the reflections along the way, trying to get it accurate in case I go matt finish, where it won't have real reflections🙂👍

@@RCHobbyShed I have heaps of very very safe places 😂, I use them daily but a different one each time.

@@outbackrcaustralia4895 Lol, I hear ya mate! 🤣

Thanks Glenn! I reckon the inside of my nose looks much the same now too 😂. Thanks mate, glad you like it! 🙂👍

Thanks Ari. I'd seen so many with either clear or black windows and thought it needed to look more like a drawing, windows and all. Cheers! 🙂👍

Thanks Ingrid! It all seemed to gel in the end, which is always relieving! 😂🙂👍

@@RCHobbyShed yes, absolutely, good work Mick 🤗

@@ilam9082 Thanks Ingrid! 🙂👍

Thanks mate. Sounds like a plan, go for it! 🙂👍

Thanks Steve! Hey I saw you got your Hotshot back on all fours and ready to rip, good stuff mate! 🙂👍

Thanks Craig! I'd seen a few around but thought I'd try to make it different. 🙂👍

Thanks Nathan! Haha yeah, I was surprised with how it turned out. Once the colours started going on I was relieved as it was all coming together nicely. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers! 🙂👍

Thanks Paul! 🙂👍

Thanks David. I think I even surprised myself! 😂👍

Thanks mate! No probs at all. Sorry for the slow reply. 🙂👍

Thanks mate! 🙂 Oh yeah, they're great. I've had a couple for a while but only gold and silver, which aren't too great to use. I guess it's due to being metallic but the non-metallic colours are awesome to use! 🙂👍

Thanks Pete! It actually turned out better than I expected. 🙂👍

Thanks mate! Yeah this type of thing is good for a change I think. Go for it mate, it's fun and quite easy! 🙂👍

Thanks Neil! Haha yeah, I even surprised myself. 😂👍

Thanks Addam! Yeah it was actually refreshing to do a paint job that didn't need sharp lines. Haha yeah, might be easier to just buy another chassis. 😂👍

Thanks Mark! The POSCA pens are great. I've been using them for the odd touch up here and there for while now. They're quite reliable too compared to other paint pens. I'll have to look out for your community build, I don't get to watch as many channels as I'd like these days so I miss a lot. I posted pics of this body finished on a Facebook group (rc airbrush obsession) yesterday, great bunch of people there! This is where I got the cartoon idea, before that I'd only seen one real car done like this. Anyway it's since gone nuts, people are sharing it everywhere. I had 200+ comments to answer this morning, so I was at it all day. Of course because I was replying over and over, Facebook decided I must be spamming, so they've restricted my account for 24 hours. Which means I can't comment anywhere on Facebook... Just can't win mate! 🤣 Anyway, I'm glad it may have given you some ideas. I'll keep an eye out for your videos! 🙂👍

Thanks David! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and it might be helpful in your build. The 6x6 school bus will look awesome in cartoon style. Cheers! 🙂👍

Thanks Stephen! I'm glad you found the video helpful. 🙂👍

Thanks Michael! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! I figured cartoons have drawn in windows too, so had to add the blue for realism. Hmm, realism in a cartoon 🤔. Well, you know what I mean! 🤣. Thanks mate, hope you have a great weekend too! 🙂👍

Thank you! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! Yeah, give it a go it's really quite easy. 🙂👍

Thanks Douglas! 🙂👍

Thanks Darren! 🙂👍

Thanks Peetor! 🙂👍

Thanks Andrew! I'm glad you enjoyed the video mate. 🙂👍

Go for it, Ralf! It really is fun, you'll love it. Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks Mark! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks Craig! I think Armma paint their trucks the same way. Silver underneath so the look like metal when scratched. Good idea! 🙂👍

Thanks Dean! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks Shayen! 🙂👍

Thanks mate. I'm quite happy with it. 🙂👍

Thanks Keith! 🙂👍

Haha, thanks mate! 😁🤘

Thanks John! I'm quite happy with it. Might have to do another one at some stage. 😂👍

@@RCHobbyShed definitely 👌

Thanks mate. Yeah, they're pretty common now. Hoping to get a chassis for it soon. 🙂👍

@@RCHobbyShed i may have a go at this, we use those paint pens at work 😁 but it will look rubbish when i try it, i have no artistic flair 😂

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! Haha yeah, some el wire would look funky. 🙂👍

Thanks mate! Oh nice, the cartoon theme would have been a hit with your grand daughter for sure and the Frog is always a favourite! 🙂👍

Thanks Lee! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! I appreciate the kind words. Sounds great, a truck will look awesome in cartoon style! No probs at all mate, I'm really glad the video was helpful. Happy New Year to you and your family too. Cheers! 🙂👍

Thanks James. Go for it mate, it's quite fun to do. 🙂👍

Thanks mate! That's awesome, glad it brought back fond memories for you. 🙂👍

Thanks Pete! 🙂👍

I agree, Matt. I've seen a lot of drawings of RC10's over the years but a real life cartoon RC10 would be awesome! 🙂👍

I thought about this when I was doing my RC10CC. Having never used this technique, I wasn’t ready to take the plunge.

@@jack-o-trades buy a replacement body and have a go i reckon

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks Thad! Oh nice, thanks heaps mate, that's awesome! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks Steve! I'm glad you liked the video and maybe found it helpful. 🙂👍

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks Andrew! I gotta find a chassis for it. I really want to put flat dish wheels on and make them like a cartoon style too, should finish it off nicely! 🙂👍

Awesome, thanks for the support! Cheers! 🙂👍

Thanks mate. Ooh yeah, this style would look sick on a Veles! 😁👍

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂👍

Thanks mate! Glad you found the video helpful. Go for it mate, you'll smash it! It's gonna be siiiiiick! 😁👍

@@RCHobbyShed 😂😂 thanks Mick your episodes are so sweet! Loving your work 🤩👍

@@sustorres765 Thanks mate. Lots more to come! 🙂👍

@@RCHobbyShed Siiiiiiicckkk 😂😂🤘

@@RCHobbyShedfound one I’m going to go for a Skyline R34 🤩👍

I think you'd be OK to paint (using the pens) over matt black. I can't see there being an issue at all. 🙂👍

Thanks mate! It's great that you found the video helpful. Cheers! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! I think it turned out quite nice, actually better than I thought it would. 🙂👍

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Yeah that would work too! 👍

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Haha, thanks mate! Don't worry, I'm often unsure as I embark on some of these projects. 😁👍

@@RCHobbyShed Sorry, I hate to repeat myself! You are a great artist. Big dot. A+. End of useless discussion :-))))

@@rccarloverluxembourg718 Haha, thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks mate! Sorry for the slow reply. I'm sure you can get them in the states. 🙂👍

Thanks mate! I'm using UNI brand Posca pens. They're Acrylic, Acrylic paints work quite well on Polycarbonate. Not as good as paint designed for it of course but still usable. Most paints for airbrushing RC bodies are Acrylics. 🙂👍

Thanks mate! I have used these pens in the past (in small amounts) and used rattle cans over the top with no issues. I think you'll be OK as long as you use light coats over the pen and slowly build it up. 🙂👍

Thanks mate. The pens are UNI POSCA brand. @3:10 🙂👍

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

I'm glad the video was helpful. I don't think so, I think this style can suit any style of body. Go for it! 🙂👍

Thanks Chris! 😁👍

Thanks mate, no probs at all. I'm glad it can be helpful. I do have a video about my setup, I'll leave a link below. Cheers mate! 🙂👍 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2HYkhijmAh4.html

@@RCHobbyShed Mate, the step by step doesn't get any better. Really appreciate it, and your setup which ill be saving also. Ill look forward to your future Airbrushing work 😋

@@zemerdon I figured it would be pretty long but didn't want to leave anything out. Thanks mate, it's good to know people appreciate the time and effort. Planning a few bodies in the future. There's always something to paint! 😁👍

@@RCHobbyShed all honesty, it went quick for me as i really enjoyed watching and learning, and your easy to listen to 😎

@@zemerdon Oh nice! Thanks for the great feedback. 🙂👍

Thanks mate! I'm used a .3 needle. When I was painting the orange around the edges and the blue in the windows, I only used around 20PSI. Same with the yellow. For the white backing I run it at around 40PSI. The Proline paint I find still needs thinning as it's quite thick. I usually use a few drops of reducer but I still ran is quite think on this occasion. I actually wanted a lot more air coming out than paint so it fades better. 🙂👍

@@RCHobbyShed Thanks for answering. I need to try with these pressure settings and see what happened👍

Thanks mate! Sorry for the slow reply. Yeah, this style is a nice easy one, no elaborate designs and intricate cutting to worry about. Go for it, I'm sure it'll turn out great. 🙂👍

Hey Cj! I'm using a .3 needle (Iwata HP-C Plus airbrush) but I think for this type of job even a .5 would be fine as there's nothing intricate to worry about. Cheers! 🙂👍

@@RCHobbyShedthanks! i did end up using the .3 on mine, and the .5 for the white backing.

@@cjhines8 Good stuff, glad it worked out for you.

G'day! Thanks. I'm using UNI POSCA pens.
