Jaeger, GREAT JOB!!! That is cool as hell. I love the bullet holes. If there were a Best Rover contest, you would have my vote.

Very cool rover. Does the paint effect the lazer tag?

Done on Computer

I designed it in Illustrator and printed it to a color laser printer. I used an adhesive lamenent and stuck it to the rover. It is water-proof and smudge proof. When I get bored I can just peal it off and stick another design on.

Plastic covers

Right now they are still free - just pay the shipping - but we will be charging about $3.00 - $5.00 for accessory items as soon as we can get our updated business systems online.

Thats a brilliant idea. At first I thought the details were stickers or transfers (the bullet holes look identical, so I figured it couldnt be hand painted), but your idea is excellent. So simple and yet works so well. Gonna have to use it myself.

Speaking of which, Im also interested in hearing how the custom paint job affects IR-exposure. I havent received my rovers yet so I dont really know where the sensors are located. Does the custom body work obscure the sensors at all? Did you have to leave any transparent areas?

Nice work.
