New paintjob - flames

[Wrobcio]

I know that flames are cliche and popular, but i would like to try it and try to play with shadows because i've never tried it before.
Here's some pictures:

Dood, great job.........

The tribal flames are killer looking!

Only three suggestions......Do the window trim with rivots, paint the roll bar, and tint that windows..

It's a kick arse looking body!

if only you could integrate the dog into the paintjob............................

Goofy i tried to paint that roll bar but its very deep in the body and i cant cut fasmask from rollbar to paint it :/ any tips?

sorry for stupid question but what's rivot? :o :p :huh:

btw my dog's always near me when i'm taking photo and when i'm going with my rc car he jumps for joy :D crazy dog

"sorry for stupid question but what's rivot?"

Well they are I guess you can say dots that are evenly spaced to make it look like they are holding the window in, or if you did a sheet metal look they are the dots that go around the border of each sheet of metal. (thats the best I could explain it with out pics)

That looks pretty darn good, if I say so myself. Tribal designs are my favorite, and the tribal flames look great. Adding rivots around the perimeter of the windshield would look fantastic, maybe on the next body?

[Wrobcio]

OK thanks for explain :) Now i know what it is :)
IMO rivots suits to dark body ? maybe i'm wrong, ill try it ;)

how about that roll bar? its very deep in the body and i've got problem to paint it :/

[z-man280]

i use liquid mask. laid on about 3 coats thick, you can take a hobby knife and cut along the bar, and peel it out. Great looking body, very well done.

[Adanmtxt1]

All praise liquid mask!! (I wish I had that little group of smilies bowing down to a king smily here).

For my Savage SS body, I could have used masking tape to mask off the fenders, the bumpers, the bed, and the hood, but with liquid mask, you apply it around and including the area to be masked, and you can mask essentially anything, regardless of body contours or recesses. Masking tape would make this difficult, and it ensures the edges will not have bleeding take place.

The cool thing is that this is pretty basic, and there is tons of stuff that can be done.

As far as the roll bar goes, I'm master of the tape! I cut it into long strips and lay in the roll bar the trim.......remember to use a sharp blade!
