Thunderwolf Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 not perfect but: 1. no masking used, at all 2. i did it, so i don't care. 3. it works for the look i want (long story, cba to explain) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 1; He didn't use any masking, ain't care, it ain't mine. 2; I didn't do it, I don't own it, so I ain't care. 3; So long as he likes it, who cares? I ain't care! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderwolf Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 yea, shame people don't see it like that. anyone actually consider i don't want it to look perfect? surely i've been around long enough for people to know how often i paint a shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Where has this come from?? You've worked hard, are happy with the results and have a unique shell..... I still have a head full of ideas, a blank canvas and a sleepless night ahead of me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderwolf Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 some A hole on facebook saying i should have got an uber rc wrap for it (yea, because uber are so good at making stuff). while we are on this subject, who the hell cares what it looks like? when i get the girl finished the shell will spend the rest of its life span covered in mud, grass, dust and all other manners of junk because i NEVER clean my shells, hell the jon miller shell i stopped using 3/4 years ago is still covered in dirt lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I see....the root of all evil strikes again. Perhaps said A hole should try his own skills, rather than copping out with a complete wrap Probably over thinking ours....not unusual for me, lol!

Thunderwolf Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 i think you should just pick 2 random colours quickly spray one one randomly over the shell, lightly, then do the next color, keep going unti you finish the can of cover the shell., certainly be unique that way.

HemiStorm Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 You shouldn't care what others say, it's personal, it looks good, you made it your own, that's what counts! Still needs light pods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCbutcher Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Stuff what people on facebook say painting is hard same as anything creative we always picture something amazing and usually our own worst critics. I bet even hemi could point out mistakes on shells but if he doesn't nobody would notice them. I think the brushed bit is very good i should show you some static models i painted lol. Serously bad i doubt i could give them away and already threw away afew. But the vipers i dunno i cant throw them because of the effort i put into them but you can see every brush stroke and the odd bristle stuck. I was extra proud of the old viper cos i had to mix paint and very nearly matched the blue i needed. The interiors well i could pretend my toddler did them but it was me lol. Im starting light clusters soon if tests go well pods are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I think it looks great, nice choice of colours and well finished. Far better than anything I could produce. I still can't get paint to stick, despite scouring the shell first, it still manages to get chipped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't get paint to stick, despite scouring the shell first, it still manages to get chipped! never done the keying of the shell before. which in hindsight i should have done here as it may have stuck better for the lines, than, or found some thicker paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Cutting my own paint masks....this is a decision made after discovering a roll of masking film I thought was packed up...will be scouring t'interweb later for designs to print and cut out...need something transitional between colors.
