Question Is this getting out of hand?

My first custom micro rc body. I painted it competition orange and hand painted the details.






BTW the first pic has the sign because I entered it in a contest. Its there to kind of verify that this is my work.

Is this getting out of hand? I need to restrain myself before my collection starts to get too big.

Yeah I wasn't planning on going all out, I just went simple single color and details. I figure with my luck, the more complex I try to make it the more likely I am to fudge something up.

And actually this is my third attempt, the first two got f'ed up. First one the paint ran like crazy because I thinned it too much for the airbrush. Second one fell on the garage floor as I was peeling the masking tape DOH! Third one, after I got the paint done, I didn't feel like testing my luck.

Hang on a sec, you're saying you airbrushed that thing?????

If so, you have WAY more skills and patience airbrushing than i do. Even with a fine tip, something that size is a one pass job for me.
