Beautiful shells, as always. Just wondering why you don't cut out your wheel wells before you paint.

most of the time the bodies aren't mine so i don't bother to cut them ..
but even with my own stuff i never cut them out .. makes it easier to use the liqiud mask.. less of a chance of me making a mess..lol
And thanks !

Gotcha" Thumbs up on the new lids, as always.

That's is a nice Slash body, love the paint scheme like the big boy stadium trucks. I have to ask, do you use anything besides the body scissors to cut out your shells? I have used some odd stuff on mine I painted.....it was rather caveman like to be honest, but it got the job done.

Nice work as always.

For the most part i let the owners cut them but for mine i use a x-acto to het a clean line.. but you take a chance of really messing it up i know i've done it myself..lol
but just rough cut it with scissors then use a dremel..

 

[5MClan]

No kidding? Wow...I was ahead of my time...I rough cut it like you said, but ended up using a die grinder with a sandpaper flapper wheel on it. I'll be damned, lol. Thanks.

 

[Mel*E*Mel]

With no truggy yet i got bored..My 8ight -T 2.0 didn't show up yet sooo..

 

[RC Addict]

[XxVASSAGOxX]

[Mel*E*Mel]

[ImBroken]

Now that's a sweet lid bro... WOW... Love that shading/streaking....

 

[Mel*E*Mel]

Thanks IB.. long time no see..
yeah i'm not to happy with it .. tried a couple of shading things and wasn't too happy with them.. and the first rip i tried with the shading and again not to thrilled but i guess it works the owner is stoked about it .
but i guess it's just the painter thing ..never happy with my own work.
to Rolex.. thats about as close to scale as i get ..lol
