Here are a couple of pics of the shell on the buggy. But pictures just don't really do it justice.





Cheers Ian, I bet this took way longer than you will admit and the detail is just outstanding. It's also just as I wanted, nice and clean and simple but oh so very well laid out and the colours just compliment each other.

Just when you think that it could not get any better, then you see something like this..... No matter how much was paid it would not do this justice.. the design is perfectly simple, yet extremely graphic.... top notch + some....

Guys, thank you, I'm never sure how my designs are going to be received so it's cool that I'm doing different stuff and it's liked !

@Lip - I don't count how many hours really. The planning and working the masks out is the longest part, by comparison the painting is quite quick. Now I have done it once A 2nd one will be easier. That said it was a bit tricky to spray with all the different fades and trying to keep it clean as I did it all with film not liquid mask !

@LRP - I use a transparent grey mask called "Paint Mask" or it might be "Premium Paint Mask", but I buy it in 50M rolls ( about a metre and a half for this one and about four metres the for SCT for RC Lazy, so I get through it ), you should try frisk film from Everything Airbrush CLICKY However my style is quite graphical and I prefer to work this way if I can, having used both I do think the Liquid Mask that Jon sells offers a lot of advantages as it covers all those tricky to mask area's, it gets in everywhere, you don't get blow throughs so I'd still say that's the best way to go if you're doing bigger chunkier stuff, it's just easier and quicker ! I guess if I'd done this in that way I'd have spent as long cutting it out as I did trying to get the film to lay across all the surfaces, swings and roundabouts.

@badger5 - Glad you like it fella, will email you those other pictures I got of it. Bring on the next one

Cheers Chef - It's not as glamourous as it sounds and there's usually a lot of swearing involved If we meet up at Slough you can ask me all the questions you want and I'll go through it with you.

Default DEX 408 shell coming soon!

Hi Ian

I've got a DEX408 on pre order and I'm looking to book someone to paint my shell for me when it appears in a few weeks time. Would you be interested in having a go? I've got some idea's I'd like to discuss with you, could we chat by e-mail?

I've just sent you my e-mail in a private message via this wonderful forum.

Thanks and speak soon.

Damn this section updates fast !

Right, my next one - for I am the slowest painter in the world

All painted on so no stickers to peel off I know, I should have learnt by now, I just can't help myself, must-make-too-much-work, can't-stop-myself...

Yeah I drew them all out and cut them on the cutter. The bulk of the body was with LM though. The cutter is just handy making sure everything is the same.
