Are the dents and scratches on Buttercup replicated too?

 

[rmirandayopo]

eventually, yes , even with Band Aid stickers... real size should do the work on the R/C Buttercup...

so, I decided to bring R/C Buttercup with me to a MTB ride...

the Cholla uphill trail, 1/2 mile long, I normally do it with no stops...
yesterday, with the extra weight, I stopped 3 times, even with motivation (cute girl in from of me)... bummer!

Anyhow, the shot going up the huge rock, I can't use it, it's too long... more that a minute...the software did not like it...
