jon said it's ok to post 'em, so here's a couple shots of a new HPI GT-1 lid that I just sprayed and sent out to him. You gotta see it in the light. It's bright as hell!!!!

Nice, very nice. I like how you are doing the lightening with the halos, like you have been doing very consistently on yoru other bodies. How about a pic of the Gen. Lee for us that missed it?!?
 
Yup it is a thing of beauty. I like the bright themes as opposed to the darker ones. Candyman really came through for me on this one. Used the colors I asked and more!! Jeff you are an Artist!!!!

Thanks Bro

Jon
 
Good Idea Beason......yeah candy man are you looking to do some free work if we send you bodies...I think you could use more practice.....
 
I'm always looking for work. But unfortunately I'm not the one doing it for free...
 
That came out great man... Those colors really jump out at ya.. Nice job bro...
 
Candyman you have been a very busy boy! With that air brush...
Looks nice
 
Busy as hell it seems. And I still have one more on the hook. Taking a short break and then I have to step it up a notch for the next one.
 
Hey Jon! Plan on driving it in the dark? Looks great Candy!

hardy harrr... I could get some black lights but then I won't see where I am going eiterh. I mounted it on the ride and DAMN I am digging it!!! Don't hate!!!
 
Cool paint job!
Now, how did ya do it?
Masked off what was going to be yellow and red. Painted the black "cracks?" with a brush. Then purple with a fade to black. Took off the mask. Airbrushed the red. Finished with yellow.
Is that right?

I wants to learn!!! Great job.

Exactly. With 2 differences. The cracks are painted with a black opaque paint pen. And there's orange between the red and yellow.
 
I just don't get it...
I could dedicate my life to doing nothing but painting bodies and come up with nothing better then stick people.

You guys with talent for this sort of thing just blow my mind..
Great looking lid.... Again.....

Eddy, you do realize that no famous painter has cornered the market on stick people. If you ask me, it's more an opportunity than a limitation...
