DR10 Finally Getting a Little Love

[Suburban_Hooligan]

just going to leave a little motivation

 

[Littlemotor]

2 coats of liquid mask on. I was trying to get this caught up to the SCT bodies, but I went ahead and put another coat on them too, so they now have 4 coats

@Littlemotor - I decided to grow a pair* and forego the supplied window masks. I am going to be cursing your name while I cut all these windows out, as some areas will be a real pain to get to.

* I actually didn't grow a pair. I simply got too anxious and started liquid masking the the two SCT before realizing I forgot the window masks. Then I did the same damn thing with the bug, which will ne the worst windows to cut out

Takes patience is all man! You got this!!! This is what separates the men from cc1999!!

Oh snap. Did I miss something?

Liquid mask applied, design laid out, and got some of the chrome areas cut out.

 

[WoodiE]

Can't wait to see this painted!

 

[Warby]

The wait is really bugging me

 

[CertifiedMike]

Took you long enough...
Daaaaaaaaamn looks like it was worth waiting for!!!
I totally agree!!! I want to see this paint job!!!

 

[Warby]

No pressure.

/me cowers away in fear

Should be starting paint today. All I have left to do is trim the ripped pieces.

The wing pieces are up first. They will be white, tearing away to reveal an aluminum wing underneath. The torn pieces will hopefully be more chrome looking. I have yet to get a really good chrome look out of the Createx chrome paint, but I have an idea I'm gonna try

I know this will be good, your paintwork is always killer.

Thanks man. Cutting the tearoffs and motor components took longer than expected, but everything is ready for paint now. Just gotta get up the nerve to start spraying.

I haven't seen any paint work out if you in awhile either

Failing to see the correlation…

Painting has begun. I am completely wingin' it. I don't know how this is going to turn out, so I am just going to shoot it and hope for the best.

I need a better airbrush though, I know that! I had a couple mishaps, and I hope they don't show up when I spray the black backer behind the Createx Quicksilver.

Pics coming soon. I forgot to bring my phone to the bench and will get some photos when I get back to it.

 

[WickedFog]

After some black backer

For the wings, I had to spray the Quicksilver on the front, then black to get a drop shadow effect between the aluminum wing and tearoffs, then peel the tearoffs and repeat. Still have to spray the black backer on the tearoffs, but I'm hoping for a wavy look as you can see on the body where the Quicksilver was sprayed in stripes. Fingers crossed, but had to stop for a bit.

How you liking the liquid masking so far?

It's great. I am much better at cutting it out than I am drawing the designs. The trick is to use a #16 stencil blade instead of the normal xacto blade. And it's better to have too many coats than not enough. I went 5, but some areas were just a little thin and wanted to tear while peeling. So 5 coats minumum for me. I'll likely go 6 from now on. It would be much better if I could spray it.

Glad to hear the #16’s are working out for ya over there homie.
