They both look excellent Mark. Thank you for actually showing how you do the wash. For a complete painting novice like me that was good to see, and learn from. I also really like your not so wibbly wobbly red knob ! ; ))
Cheers muchly, Derek! Ahh, the wash - I have seen others do it and I thought I'd have a go, with the materials I had at hand. Worked out quite well, I think it makes a big difference, worth the few minutes it takes to do. If you put too much on or it's too dark you can always wash it off again! As for the knob - well it just had to be red didn't it? Else what could Finbar Fnarr, Fnarr about?!!! Haha - cheers mate! :))
Mark those cockpits look fantastic. The painting tips and little tricks are easy to follow and replicate. Since copy is the greatest form of flattery... you will be glad to hear that I am going to copy the same color scheme for the fire suits of the Lancia driver and co-pilot. Great job !!
Many thanks for the fantastic comment! I'm glad you found the video useful and I'm pleased you are going to copy the colour scheme! Seasons Greetings, my friend! :)
Bit late to the party on this…got a few Tamiya shells, some which I have raced with (including a Delta Intergrale - albeit well worn and quite a few battle scars….all adds to the realism lol)….It’s been about +35yrs since I’ve actually painted details like this (Airfix kits were my staple diet, could never afford HobbyGrade RC cars as a kid in the early 80s). Looking to branch out and finally get some ‘cabins’ for my shells that I don’t use too often or at least run only when the whether is good. My worry at the mo is the type of paint needed as I’ve only got used to using spray cans for the rc body shells and short cuts like the felt pens etc….will need to get a few paints and brushes and relearn something I forgot for so long!! Excellent car and great attention to detail with the cabin. Thanks for making this video…I’ll be referring to this a fair bit when I finally get started on my cabin.
It's never too late my friend! Same here, into Airfix as a kid in the 70's - never could afford a Tamiya back then! The old Humbrol enamels we used to use are good for these cockpits and are still freely available. I have also used artist's acrylic paints on plastic to good effect. Ahh, the Integrale, such a classic body and all the better with a few battle scars! Good luck with your cabin painting and thanks very much for the kind words about my video. Cheers! 😊👍
...and always a pleasure for me to read your words, Peter! I am very pleased that you enjoyed the detailing of this rally interior. I hope your weekend is a good one my friend! :-)
I really appreciate that comment, S 43! Yes, I think these cars deserve a good paint and decal job, they ae so gorgeous! Best regards, and hope to see you on the next one my friend! :)
So cool love your videos dude I bought the Subaru WRC on Monday just waiting on it to be delivered never built one before . Thanks for all the tips and tricks it's your fault I am looking at hop ups I am hooked now . One Christmas I did get a manta ray tamiya build great RC cars now I am building this with my daughter she thinks it's a brilliant idea
Thank you for the great comment and the kind words! It's great to hear that you bought what a new Subaru Tamiya kit! I just know that you will love it. Great to hear that you found the tips helpful and I'm sure it will be great sharing the build with your daughter. Awesome family time! Have fun, best wishes from Mark. 🙂✌👍
Thanks for the great comment! At least you don't need to throw it away! When I make a mistake painting something like this, I just paint again over the top! Cheers! :))
@@MarkBryanRC Mark, what would you say is the best off road tamiya car ever? Or top 3, are there any that could hold up against today's competition with other brands. I'd really appreciate your expert opinion on this, and trust me my friend, you are an expert.
That's a very hard question! Trouble is, I don't have any experience with other brands as I only own 1 Kyosho and all the rest are Tamiya! Best rally car is definitely the XV01 for me. Best handling buggy is probably the DF-03. But it's all subjective, I'm sure others would disagree with me! :)
Hi Mark , Absolutely stunning work !!!! Almost Real !!! The Black Marker makes it so realistic The Cockpit is the Queen of the RC Car. Cheers from Berlin Carsten
Thank you Carsten! (I hope that is your name!). Such great words are a pleasure to read - and I agree, the cockpit makes the rally body come alive! All the best from Birmingham! Mark :-)
You did a really good job there - the wash brought the suits to life and the marker pen made a tremendous difference, especially on the brave co-driver´s right hand. The addition of the scale interior makes ta particularly big difference on cars such as this, which boast lots of window acreage and let a fair bit of light into the car´s interior.
Thanks as always Del! Yeah, I looked at the white suits and thought "they look far too bright!" Just had the idea to put a wash into the creases and it worked out OK - always worth trying something out, it can always be repainted! Yeah, these rally shells sure have big windows! Cheers for watching pal - as ever, I hope your weekend is good! :))
Thanks very much, Cosmo! Praise indeed - I have seen your painting skills! Yeah, I was just lazy really, tried to think of an easier way than using a paintbrush! Anyway, the marker works great - thanks for the support mate! :))
Cheers Mike - glad you enjoyed it - these cheap interiors can make a big difference to the overall look of a rally car - well worth having a go at. Best thing is, if I make a mistake, I can just paint over again! Thanks for watching, best regards from Mark. :)
Wow Mark ! What a fantastik Work .A Body shell looks so much better with a nice Cockpit Set .The composition of your colors is very well done and I like it a lot.The fine Details with the black marker give the whole a stunning finish.Nice to see what with a little Color and a lot of effort is possible.I enjoyed your Video very much Mark .Have a nice Sunnday .And big Thumbs up.
Hello Harry my good friend! Thank you for your excellent words - Yes I agree that any body shell looks more complete and realistic with a cockpit installed. I am pleased you enjoyed the video and gave me that important thumbs up! My Sunday is nice and relaxing, thank you, I hope yours is too! :-)
Awesome video Mark loads of really good tips all throughout once again 👌 your attention to detail is brilliant i love it, and need to binge watch your videos just before attempting any of my own to keep it fresh in my head! Makes such a difference that i would never realise how to do and make your work POP excellent finish and massive thumbs up 👌👍
Morning Paul! Another awesome comment mate - always a pleasure to read you! I must admit that I am a little "nerdy"! I think it comes from my childhood when I made loads of Airfix kits, the detailing always pleased me when finishing a model, and really did make all the difference. Unpainted plastic is generally ugly! Your comment and like is truly appreciated my friend! :))
Hi Mark, bloody marvellous job on the cockpit, looks really good. The details are choice of colours are spot on. If only mine would turn out like yours I’d be a happy chappy lol 😂. Super video. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
That's very kind of you, Mikey! I must say I was happy with the results of my efforts, it's the first cockpit that I have tried to detail and it looks OK when installed in the Lancia body. I'm sure you could do as well, my friend! Have a cracking weekend, mate! :O)
Great job, I love how you said i ll just mask them off...that's were I struggled last time. O find them difficult to mask. Great tips thanks for the video
Good morning Gerardo! Your words are a pleasure to read, thank you! I think it is possible for anyone with a little painting experience to produce these results. Greetings from Birmingham, and thanks for watching bro! :))
yes sir.. great looking interior and I am really loving the work you did on it!! Look great and the detailing with the marker? Really adds to the look .. Thanks for sharing.. :P
Cheers, Nick! yeah, you could try and do the detailing with a fine paintbrush, but I think it would be very difficult! I took the easy way out, but it seems to give a good result! Thanks for the support buddy, always appreciated. Best wishes, Mark... :))
That is really really fantastic skill Mark. I would have no chance of producing such a result. And you made it look very easy lol. Things like this make these models look so much better. Well done my friend. A credit to you 👍👍
Morning Tibster! Very kind of you to say, mate! But I'm sure you could do it, just takes a little patience and a steady hand - and I struggle with both! I do agree that the interior makes a big difference to the overall look of the rally car, as they are so perfectly scale to begin with. Thanks for the compliment, bro - always appreciated! :))
Many thanks, man! Pleased that you enjoyed it, it was fun detailing this interior, makes the car more realistic in my humble opinion! Enjoy your weekend! :))
Cheers ma mate Tony! But I know your secret. I have seen your artistic skills elsewhere on the internet!!! You could do a great job too, I am certain! Maybe a Tamiya rally car for you and then I can see you do YOUR interior! Thanks for the kind words Bro - and remember not to work too hard my friend!!! :))
@@MarkBryanRC , o I I guess your talking about my drawings and white walker sculpture to lol, 🤣 thanks my friend for your kind words, I've learnt a great deal from watching your videos so to me you are the Daddy 👌😃👌 I'll defo get one next year brother 👍😃🤘 keep the good vids coming Mark 😁
Certainly I am talking about them! I am a keen amateur artist to - you share so many things close to my heart, ToeBoe! RC, modelling, Art, Family, Friends, Sci-fi, DIY, FUN! the list goes on! You are a brother!!!! :))
Well Mark am so happy we have the same interest in loads of great things brother 😁 am of for 10 days now so I'll be catching up on my R2-D2 😁 thanks my mate it really does mean alot, friends for Life 👍😊🤘
Thank very much Brent! This was only the second time I had tried doing the wash, still learning my friend! Sounds like you could give me a few tips, and maybe even do a video about detailing and show how you do it - I would be very interested! Thanks again. All the best, enjoy your Sunday! :)
@@MarkBryanRC i will be glad to do a video on detail painting as soon as i find a rc that would look good but yours looks great a wonderful sunday to you as well👍😀
Hello Mark 😉.... wow that is a very good job you have done here. Looks really realistic 👍😄.... it must have taken lots of time to finish it ... but all worth it 💪🏻
@@MarkBryanRC indeed i used to have TT01s(stock and yeah racing carbon version) , HSP Flying Fish, and a flea market classic TA-02. Sadly these were stolen last year by my greedy landlord. Haven't gotten the time to sue them though.
Good morning Chris! Cheers for the message dude! Yeah, have a go, for less than £15 posted, it really is great value and adds so much to any road or rally car looks. Have fun mate - all the best, Mark... :))
Hi Mark, I finished LEDs! Looks nice. Thanks. But cannot find rally cockpit - looks like discontinued. But found Touring car cockpit online ( better then nothing) - does it fit? What to do to fit to Audi? Thanks
Hi my friend, yeah, hard to get Tamiya stuff at the moment :-/ The Touring cockpit will fit just fine, but only has the driver and no co-driver, but it will look much better than no driver at all - go for it! :)
Thanks again, Kirk - every rally car needs a cockpit, I think! It just finishes the look off perfectly, and at only about £15 it's well worth getting. Cheers for the compliment, mate! :-)
Nicely done👍🏻 I am just painting a cockpit too for the Audi Quattro. Sadly i din‘t have the Sabelt seat belt stickers, just the plain yellow ones from the kit. I should have bought a marker too, it makes really nice details. But it‘s going to be allright for me
Many thanks for the comment! I'm sure yours will look great, after all you don't see too many details when the car is whizzing by at top speed, I think I may be going over the top with detailing! All the best from Mark... :)
Wow Mr. Bryan! You did a fantastic job on the Cockpit. Now I know where to send my cockpit the next time :D Haha looks like you're way more patient than me. Great job Mark! Keep it coming 🤘
Thanks, Mr. Ferrari!!! I'll do your cockpit any time bro! Hehe - I know you're joking, you too have some great skills, but I enjoyed the sentiment my friend! Hope all is good for you, enjoy the weekend bro! :))
Hehe - 2 in one time! I am so pleased to see your comment JD!!! Thanks very much for the good words, yeah the driver painting is a real pain in the RC!!! :))
Marvelous, Mark! Just looks superb. Great video/editing as well. Such a good job. Yeah, the trickiest part is the black lines on the helmet around the face. I spend soo much time on those, redoing them over and over again. I would love to do a cockpit for my 1976 Porsche 934, but I am not too sure if this cockpit will fit (TA-02SW and style wise since it’s a Touring Car).
Cheers, Mikael, my fan!!! I wasn't so sure about the editing, but thanks anyway - I did the cockpit over a few days and had to move from the log cabin outside and into the kitchen as the heating packed-up! Yeah, the black detailing on the helmet sure is tricky, luckily I got this one done in one attempt! Hmm, not sure about fitting this in a Touring car - but it may be worth giving one a trial fit - they are cheap to buy and it will definitely look better than no interior if it does fit! Thanks again, I hope you and your family have a peaceful weekend. :))
Mark Bryan RC Your biggest fan actually! 😆 Yeah, I think it will look awkvard with a rally cockpit - but maybe better than without. I’m not even sure how a Touring Car cockpit would differ. Will probably just make it box art with smoked windows as I have another body I can experiment with later on.
Hehe! Yeah, fan brothers! :D No, I think the rally cockpit is not so different from a touring car, really. Good luck with it, whichever route you choose. :-)
Hi! This could be for many reasons, but many times my reverse is lost if the throttle trim on my transmitter is set incorrectly. If adjusting that fails to fix it, you will need to consult the ESC instructions and configure the ESC! Good luck 👍
Hey Mark. I've just ordered one of these from Time Tunnel for my Audi Quottro. Can I ask, what did you use to mask off the bodies, please? I'm certainly getting the bug. I also ordered Fastracknoil shocks 55mm from Time Tunnel. I'm looking forward to experiencing the different handling. I ALSO got an LED light set (that's powered by ch3), a heat sink and some magnetic body mounts. Phew! Actually, if you shop around, it's not that bad. There's some bargains to be had. Which reminds me, I've ALSO got on order a set of drift tyres for a tenner, after watching your first drifting in a gym video. Okay, signing off. I like the pure joy in your videos, your passion comes right through the screen.
Hi Lee - wow, your addiction is getting serious! Seriously though, you made some good purchases! I masked the bodies with ordinary decorators masking tape. Thanks for the great comment and have fun with those cool accessories you have ordered, your car is going to be awesome! :)
Great job Mark. Really makes it more of a scale model. Is it standard matt black spray that you used? Just wondering if it needs lexan paint as it's a similar thin plastic? Do they tell you in the instructions what you should use? Like you say a very worthwhile addition. One thing that bothers me slightly with these is that the gearstick ends up unrealistically high when you look through the windows. Might be inclined to leave out that part if I build one of these. Are you going to do another run vid with the drivers in?
Hi there Pete! The interior is made of thin ABS plastic, I think - you can glue it with ordinary model cement (you know, the type that melts it?) Anyway, I used a cheap tin of Aldi matt black multi purpose paint - and it sure has stuck like the proverbial to a blanket! Great stuff! Haha - I really didn't notice that my knob was sticking up so unrealistically high!!! I may have to try to shorten the shaft a little - funny but Derek also commented about the redness of my knob, he said he liked it, but I am getting a bit self-conscious about my knob all of a sudden, I think I will keep it out of sight in the future :D Yeah, just gotta do another Run, with Rob and his hopped up TT-02 version. :-)
@@MarkBryanRC Yeah I suppose saying that I can see the red end of your knob through your car window could and indeed should prompt a fnarr and perhaps an ooh matron 😂
Hi! Thanks for the question. I simply used ordinary painter's masking tape to cover the driver suits, I tend to rip off small sections and cover the areas I don't want to paint with a "patchwork" of small pieces of masking tape. I hope this answers your question! :)
Really enjoy your videos Mark. The paint job on these interiors really was superb but thought I’d ask why don’t you continue the harnesses on from behind the seat? The mouldings are there and would look even better highlighted with the yellow belts.
Thanks very much Wayne! Yeah, I have seen others paint the webbing behind the seats to look like an extension of the seatbelts, looks pretty good too! Just a matter of preference, really. I'm not totally sure they are supposed to be the belts, on a real car they wouldn't extend so far back (just my opinion) so I left mine black and focussed on the drivers. I think one could also add a little more detail to the rear section, it's hard to know when to stop on a little job like this! Cheers again for the comment and have a great 2019. :-)
Hi Rick - thanks for the nice comment! Yeah, have a go with the little ideas - you can always repaint if it's not quite right - nothing to lose! And an Audi sport Quattro S1!!! Wow - I'd love to see that when it's finished! Good luck with the bodywork! :-)
Mark Bryan RC I’ll share with you once I’m done :) I’m still a newbie with this and still don’t know all the do’s and donuts but with my tamiya lancia 037 hardbody I learnt a lot. I can’t wait til all things are delivered.
Hi Rick! That would be fantastic to share when it's done! Don't worry about being a newbie, you will get a lot of pleasure as you discover all the do's and donuts!!! I am still learning all the time! You have made good choices, I have looked at the 037 many times and would love to own one some day - too many Tamiyas, not enough money! Thanks for the message my friend! :-)
Mark Bryan RC imgur.com/a/32jNGGO This was tricky, I added the shadow effect, used a marker pen and the cockpit turned out great! Also one in the making sport Quattro S1 E2. Wrong yellow though but it turned out great! Some over bleed on the yellow, the black is painted on the outside, next step is to mark the red, gray and black areas for spraying and then figure out how to draw the black rubber linings for the windows. Once this is done, mask windows, clear coat two layers, add decals and two more clear coats. I’m really amazed by my “talent”
Wow! I just took a look at your cockpit and Quattro body! Looks awesome my friend - you did a great job! Make sure you let me know when it is finished - I would love to see that beauty run! Happy New Year my friend!
Hi Hanz! Yes, I have seen it done, and if the springs are not too wobbly, it is a great effect - too wobbly and it looks rather comical! Check out "c.a. lintow" videos - he has done it on one of his trucks! It would be great to give it a try! :))
Ciao Mark, spero tu stia passando un felice week end, volevo chiederti una cortesia, mi puoi spiegare , come collegare esc e canali sua una ricevente 4 canali che uso con una radio flysky a levette? quindi non quella classica per le auto rc con il volantino, spero di non avere preso un esc che non funzioni su questa tipo di radio e ricevente...con questa io di solito piloto elicotteri rc...ti ringrazio infinitamente.
Hi Devin - I masked off the drivers so it was easier to cover the bare plastic with white paint - I tried painting over black before, and it took so many coats! Cheers!
Hi - the black for the cockpit and the white for the helmets was just ordinary automotive (car) touch-up spray rattle cans - the rest of the drivers was using brush-on acrylic artists paint! :)
Hello! Yes this kit is good for all Tamiya 257mm wheelbase bodies, including the TT01, TT02 and the XV01. And yes, I think the XV01 is a much better frame / chassis than the TT01/2 Best regards from Mark...
Ciao! Sì, questo kit è adatto a tutti i corpi Tamiya con passo da 257 mm, inclusi TT01, TT02 e XV01. E sì, penso che l'XV01 sia un telaio/telaio molto migliore del TT01/2 Un caro saluto da Marco...
Mark, dimenticavo un ultima domanda, ma il telaio xv-01, ha il motore sulla parte anteriore del veicolo, completamente esposto agli spruzzi d,acqua, quindi non e' protetto in questo senso? il kit ha oltre il motore , compreso anche l,esc? grazie per la tua pazienza, sei unico. ciao.
hi mark, they look great!! i am thinking about getting one of these for my quattro, would it fit? i think it would make it look as realistic as possible. however i think i would paint the driver like Gene Hunt😂all the best mate:)
Thanks mate - yep, I fitted one of these in my Quattro, it really does finish the look off very well. But yeah, I think your driver needs the Gene Hunt look to match that gorgeous red bodywork! All the best to you, too - cheers! :O)
@@fireuprc5693 Yes mate, I use those Humbrol paints on my interior cockpits, too, it's great paint! The cockpit is made of ordinary plastic and not Lexan, so it sticks like glue! :)
Nice one Hanz! I'm sure the body is going to look awesome when finished, especially with the cockpit installed! I think I need the Quattro body too... :)
The kids in the neighbourhood asked me; "Why is nobody driving your car?", to which my son responded; "We can put figures in"... He had seen this somewhere, and now wants me to put these into the Ford Escort ;-)
Great idea to fit one of these in the Escort, it should go in without any mods. I think all the rally and road cars look so much better with the cockpit installed - have fun! :)
@@MarkBryanRC ordered a set after watching your video. Do not wanna buy a lot of paint jars, so will see how easy it is to get results with an alternative. Definitely will be using an Edding for detail/edges
You can use automotive spray paint and spray in a cap to use a brush on small sections. I've also used artists acrylic paints to good effect! Good luck! :)
@@MarkBryanRC Thanks. Confirms one of my ideas; spraying some paint in a cap and use a brush. I also still have some of those Tamiya paint markers. I know they aren't allowed in Europe, so easy to get here as 'surplus'. They tend to leak anyways, so near to useless as a marker. Again, good for a brush ... Got surfacer; would you suggest this to use?
HOY Mark!! 😊😎 Been flat on my back for a while...... I've got some catching up to do!! 😱 My Wife has had some problems with Chemo, Co-pays are burying us. The GOOD NEWS at least, even though the RC Ground Vehicle Community has basically left me for DEAD...(*present company EXCLUDED*). But, my entrance into the RC Flight Community, has been incredibly DIFFERENT!! Your Mate Rob got me into it! 😉 First Rubber Band powered, then I met a group of Guys from the FliteTest Forums, several of them, ex Air Force. They invited me in. They Immediately started Helping me!! I never asked! They got us out of our immediate hole...... Then, one BOUGHT me an RC Aircraft!!!! 😱😱 I was completely floored and Humbled. Another got me a $400+, 8 Channel Radio!! The Generosity of the RC Aircraft Guys completely blows my mind. *I HATE being in the horrible situation that we're in.* The people in THIS Community (EXCEPT YOU, Rob, and maybe 2 Others), treated me like I was trying to SCAM them, BS them, or I don't know what else.... THEY would rather spend another $500-$1000 on themselves, than Help a Friend (well, I THOUGHT so), Who was in Dire Need!!!! That's entirely THEIR prerogative, but I still think it was a shitty thing to do to someone they knew - SOME of them for over 10 Years. 💔💔💔😢 And a group of Guys that I just met - couldn't do enough for me!! ALSO, if all that wasn't enough - I briefly mentioned that I had really wanted a SCX10....... *A NEW one showed up at my door, 5 Days later!* 😱😱😀 I just have no words......
Hi Carmine! I wondered where you had gone! What a simply AMAZING story! I'm very happy you have found some good guys - how fitting they would be fellow servicemen! Well, you certainly have something to play with now! Very best regards, Mark...
Mate, I am Mind Blown!! 😱😵 Their Generosity and Compassion is stunning. Speaking of.... Your Lancia is really a benchmark for Models!!! 👏👏👏👏👏😎🏆 The level of art is amazing. Your attention to small details, is bloody fantastic!! I believe that the Suspension travel on that one is longer than anything else I've seen before. 😎😀 Can't WAIT to see how she rips!! I'm incredibly disheartened and disillusioned by the so-called friends in the Crawler Guys. Again, NONE of them HAD TO Help us..... But things are SO horrible, and nobody even OFFERED! And I'm talking about the guys who have at least TWO of all the coolest Rigs, and rubbing it in, how much they're able to get, anytime they want. And of course I know that they have every right to do what they want! We've all worked hard for what we got (well, I used to).... But I don't believe that makes it right, to leave a Comrade DROWNING.
And the Blokes who have given us a Hand Up.... They just DID! I didn't have to resort to Begging. (And I was only driven to THAT, because we were literally against the wall and desperate) A position that I Hope and Pray that you, or ANY of my Actual Friends, ever have to go through.
Hello Antonio. The paint I used was Humbrol acrylic - in flat red, white, yellow and black. The base of the cockpit was matt black automotive spray paint, and the helmets were sprayed in gloss white. The drivers faces were painted in flat flesh colour. I hope this helps. :-)
