In this thrilling episode of "What's on the Bench" by the Scale Builder's Guild, we witness the resurrection of the legendary Waffle House Jimmy's build. After a complete overhaul to fix the damage, including upgrading to aluminum F10 portal axles and adding faux PSC hydraulic ram style steering elements, this buggy is ready to conquer any terrain. The team's attention to detail, from adjusting the wheelbase to receiving a missing diamond plate piece from Kurt Rosler, showcases their dedication to perfection. As they eagerly await the return of their radio from Josh to test the buggy, one can't help but admire the craftsmanship and passion poured into this project.
Moving on to the C303 Umagine build-off, the team dives into a unique rusting technique using sophisticated finishes, creating a stunning visual effect on the cab. By gradually rusting the surface, sealing it with hairspray, and chipping away at the paint over time, they aim to achieve a one-of-a-kind look that evolves with age. With a tip for applying sophisticated finishes using a makeup sponge for a textured finish, the team demonstrates their innovative approach to model building. As they explore brazing and invite viewers to join the channel membership for exclusive content, the Scale Builder's Guild continues to push the boundaries of creativity in the RC world.
Delving into the interior of the C303, the team showcases the intricately designed dashboard created with a Bamboo Labs X1 Carbon printer, utilizing multiple filaments for a detailed finish. Their enthusiasm for the project is palpable as they express excitement about the progress and hint at a potential live show in the future. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for experimentation, the Scale Builder's Guild sets the bar high for RC enthusiasts worldwide. Stay tuned for more updates and innovative projects from this dynamic team as they continue to redefine the art of scale modeling.
