Lightbulb How about R/C horse-drawn vehicles? A NEW hobby!

Will advanced robotics ever be applied to the scale-model vehicle hobby?

Imagine this:

Is it possible to invent a robotic horse in 1/22.50 scale?

I have a vision for the future of scale-model vehicles.

How about a fully-autonomous train layout in G scale? There could be autonomous road vehicles on the railroad layout as well. Trains could operate autonomously or manually and cars, trucks, buses,...

Question How are water slide decals normally applied to clear bodies?

Are they applied on the INSIDE of the body and painted over?

May windows be also blacked out or dark-tinted by spraying the inside of the body?
