Lessen Works 2010

[Lessen]

I have quite a number of paint projects lined up so instead of creating a dozen different threads for each I'll just post up all of my photos here.

For anybody who has not already seen in my other thread, 2010 starts off with a test themed stock car.

Wow, that turned out to be a real beauty.

Chain Link GT2

For starters...

I can't wait to see that GT2 complete, that's a cool idea with the chain :thumbup:

 

[NCNitro]

That is a bad ass idea with the chain link!!!!

I guess I am gonna need to step it up this year if I want to win my fourth consecutive title.

 

[slowngreen]

Both are great but I'm really digging the chain link.

Love the chain link idea. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Those are both awesome Lessen, the GT2 I can't wait to see either. Any tips for someone thinking about taking the airbrush plunge?

 

[Lessen]

There's all kind of info on jumping into airbrushing within other threads of this forum. Take a browse though and you'll find all sorts of info including opinions on both airbrushes and paints.

Whats on the back of the race car, puzzle pieces?

The chain link is going to be killer, I can't wait to see the end product!

Yes, puzzle pieces in those colors are the standard symbol used for autism awareness. Just a little something I wanted to throw in there for my own reasons.

That chain link should look amazing. I'm really looking forward to seeing it, now that I'm wide awake.

 

[Lessen]

Chain link is finished. I think I missed a couple drop shadows but all in all it's pretty good. It's probably hard to tell right now but the chain is actually two colors. I mixed up a very nice "aluminum" using white, silver, a little blue and a couple drops of black. The edges of the link are painted using this mixture. The center area of the links are straight white. This was quite time consuming today. Now it just needs a background.

 

[Rolex]

That's an amazing piece of work.
Whatever made you think of doing that?

 

[Lessen]

I have no idea honestly. It's been so long since I started it. I bought the GT2 from Bryson like a year and a half ago and started drawing it up for the race season last winter I think. Then it sat while I worked on other stuff.

 

[frickenjoey]

So my extended Savage shell is next? LOL...I'd hate to bash up a beautiful piece of work though.

 

[Lessen]

Pardon my unfinished works. I have a habit of starting new projects before finishing others. The chain link truck will have to wait until I learn how to get the true-fire look I like. This Dr. Pepper truck is for Racer_1966. Associated SC8. Still in the design process...
