I meant more to take on an RC armoured car. I am thinking Puma and full IR... not quite as many rivets and bolts as your Boarhound! LOL!
Are you going to try a surfacer application for the casting? I'll be interested to see what you decide on a "finished" piece.
Make it easy shoot the video and upload to Youtube and just put the link here. :-)

Do an R/C full I/R Puma .... Please !! ..... I did one a long time ago and have always regretted it is just static. I have experimented with doing a cast surface by painting a section and sprinkling very fine sand on it while it is still wet. The process isn't quite that simple but it works for me with a little bit of luck. Experimenting with textured spray paint by spraying it into a cup and then painting it on with a brush worked out pretty good on a test piece. Whatever texturing I do has to avoid the smooth rolled steel parts and details.
