My credo
I need more sleep.
So I ended up ordering one of these. http://www.amazon.com/Walker-Bulldog-Battle-Upgrade-Version/dp/B004Q83XG0
And the upgraded version comes a little bit better painted then the stock, but I'm going to do my own paint job.
So any ideas on how I should do it, I know for a fact I'm going for a dirty look down near the tracks, but as up top I'm not sure. As well as hopefully I can get some small scale bags and shovels, etc, to decorate. Any ideas anyone?

Is the "non-upgraded" version any cheaper? What's the difference besides the paint?

That thing is tight!

So the regular one is only 50 bucks I think, but with this upgrade version you get metal tracks, sprockets and gears, so it's more durable.
They are pretty cool, they shoot the 6mm airsoft bb's, and have smoke and sound. Not a bad price for the pro version really.

In the end, I'd rather have 1 good one than 3 bad ones.

Make it look "experienced"

If there are panels molded into it make the edges look like the paint is worn off down to metal, maybe some rust running down. Maybe make the camo on a couple panels not match like it was a field repair.

A heated needle in the lighter armored areas for small arms fire, heat bigger areas for dents.

Get on YouTube and surf, there is a bunch of movies about how to patina scale off road RC's by adding rust, dents and scrapes.
