What? Where?
Couple of shells for another friend. YZ-2 and TLR
Design spec was "desert style camouflage with his name down side in bright iridescent / pearlescent" Not tried anything like this before, but came out nicely. Not so good at full free hand design and painting, but the camo looks ok, so just to do some matching wings then they can be returned Just have to try and find them now..

Down came the rain...
Well, I had intended to get some gardening done while my wife is away, but the thunder has put paid to that...
So decided to paint a shell. Inspired by Mr Andy Shilly shells, although not to his standards Will give it a run out tomorrow at Manor I think

Looks good that fella
One tip I could give you is possibly thin the paint a bit more and really lower the pressure for the fades. Fading black to white is a nightmare and you only need a 'sniff' of black as it always looks more solid from the outside then from the inside when you are painting. I still put too much back down - then kick myself for not trusting myself with a lighter layer. Also - thinner paints and lower pressure = nice fades. Lastly Buy some of Jon's RCS Body Prep - never paint a fade without using it first - it's an anti static spray that stops spray / mist adhering to the shell through static It's awesome. |

Dex410v4
For a friend - Dex410v4 "box art" (well, nearly!!)
Interesting to do them - Not done a Durango before and wonder if the Lexan is a slightly different spec to other Lexan as the liquid mask stuck like glue. Wouldn't peel in nice easy pieces like normal

Another shell for a friend. Another coat of LM needed I think as it didn't strip easily leading to some "not too clean" lines. Looks ok unless close up...

Sadly, daughters have decided that Elsa and Anna are a "bit last season" so want new shells. One down, exactly how I was instructed...
Always important to keep the customer satisfied
