Getting back to it!
 

Hey everyone,
After a bit of a break and just doing the odd bits and pieces for friends, i've found myself picking p the brush more often and enjoying it again. Have to say, access to the right products, supplied by RCS Graphic Worx, and advice from Jon have made a big difference too. :thumbsup:

Anyway, as i've been merrily painting away, thought it rude not to share.
Comments and criticism welcome, but be gentle! lol!

few more.....

and some sneaky non-RC work..... :blush:

That is some fine work there :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Love the first 1 :D

loving the stop it and tidy up work! What are they though?

What is all the non-rc stuff in fact? decals?

hey ginge, too kind buddy:blush:

some great work too dude

:thumbsup:

The stars on the first one are ace ! As is the big pink slime on the 2nd post, and I'm lovin' the spikey killer mushroom black and white thing as well as the Stop it and Tidy up characters.

Nice work sir ! Glad you're back into it, it's better when you enjoy doing it !

Cheers for the kind words!
Everything is hand cut and airbrushed, the stoppit and tidyup characters are wheel centres from a show car and the alien board is an engine cover, both for friends cars.

oh and the stars detail was hand cut, then backed up using one of RCS's wicked stencil sets.

Welcome back, I am sure there are people already emailing and pm'ing you!!

Lol, there's no mad panic, and I'm happy enough with that!!

Loving your work, really top notch especially the non rc stuff. :thumbsup:

Cheers again :thumbsup:

New airbrush arrived today, so i went out to the booth for a play, as i had this shell already liquid masked up....

All hand cut and painted as ever..... enjoy!!

Awesome work I hope I can paint like this one day :thumbsup:

lookin sharp chris :thumbsup:

Cheers!!
Jon, need to give you a wee shout tomorrow lad!!

do it now mate if it's urgent, got alot on tomorrow so may not be as quick to respond as usual

It's never 'urgent'!! Sounds like stress, that!! :p

Welcome back Chris ;-)

'bout ye!!! ;) cheers Simon.

Eyup Chris :)
Nice work as always, not seen your work for ages mate and it's good to see ya throwing some paint down again :thumbsup:

Hi Mike, thanks. There'll still not be that much of the work about, I'm limiting myself to 4 or 5 bodies a month. I have to see the family at some point!
Everything is updated and kept fairly lively on the FB page, and when I've spaces available for custom work, it's announced there. :)

New colour scheme for Al Bickerstaff, pending approval this weekend!

with my own version of "stance dog" in the background...... :p

Very nice indeed :thumbsup:

Nice work. Sent a PM as looking to get a couple of shells painted.

That's lookin' sweet dude, very very cool, lots of nice styles done well in one shell, good show piece !

I always love Alan's shell's and these new ones look awesome !

Mark

Cheers Mark, as per a discussion last night, they're gonna change again! Not too much,
But enough of a difference.
We were going through his old stuff last night and the evolution is quite interesting to see!

Things I should have said yesterday..... Doing a real time update and photos thread on my Facebook site at the moment (www.facebook.com/gingapaint) masking steps all done last night, will be painting and posting tonight after 6. Might be interesting for anyone who wants to know how to do it, or just how much work goes into a 'simple' shell.
Rob, you might want to check it out, it's your shell!! Lol!! :p

some stunning work here, i enjoyed the facebook real time too, turned out nice mate :thumbsup:

'ello.. Real time paint job all done. can be seen on the page if anyone wants.

finished article is here :)

and stance furby too..... :thumbsup:

Nicely done Chris, very cool.

On Photo 7 of 50 you've put... Do you mean 2 coats of Body Prep ? I'm sure you did :lol:

Anyway, nice little tutorial and good neat design :thumbsup: how long do you reckon start to finish ?

Lookin good Chris :)
I have often thought of having a web cam in the booth linked to my site..
Although I figure clientel may be somewhat disturbed by the Stella consuming, rave beats and tribalistic dancing that is undertaken whilst painting their shells.

:woot:

I think that's all part of being a painter Jon :lol: My clients would have had a fit if they'd been able to watch my workshop, turning up at about 10 am...ish, working until 4am, it would have been like watching big brother for them :thumbdown:

if it is at all like big brother in my booth...come and set fire to it now, while i'm still in it!

:woot:

Yeah, I meant body prep at that point.... Going stir crazy obviously!
I couldn't do the webcam thing, far too many obscenities! Lol.

I did it in real time to show the time and effort that goes into a fairly simple body, I've not totted it up, but probably 5-6 hours I think?

Best thing I bought for the booth, noise cancelling earphones! Lol :thumbsup:

There's a wee sneaky special offer on the Facebook site if anyone needs stuff done ;)

shells
 

ah nice to see your back after this time, i might get my 2 shells back i sent you.

let me think...that must be a good 8 years ago now......emailed and such and no replays.:thumbdown:

Really? Drop me a pm and I'll see if I can figure out what/how and see how it can be rectified. Can only apologise!!

yeeooooo... back in the both tonight, something properly quick for Al, needed for the weekend :)

Another night in the booth has seen a shell completed for Martin Wallace.

Excuse the pics, the better half is visiting her mom and took the camera with her.... :yawn:

Anywho...
