My first body...

[Runaway Jim]

I wasn't sure if I should post these or not as it's my first and it isn't perfect but thought what do I have to lose? If you couldn't deduce from the paint, or the hat... I went to Syracuse!

First lid, diagonal stripe, three colors. You're already showing off. Wait till you get to lid # 10.

Thanks Rolex! My wife got the same body and is working on a design of her own as we speak. It took a little while but I think it turned out alright for a first shot...

Jim, I'm going to give you a 9.5 on that.
I really think if you were truly Orange, you would have had the decency to paint an obvious #44 in the bed!!!!

And just for the record, I'm Orange G'96, Masters in Audiology, School of Education. GO ORANGE!!!

 

[Lessen]

Looks GREAT! Very nice work as your first piece. :thumbup:

 

[Runaway Jim]

Thanks guys! Good point about the #44 Candyman. I'm sure this won't be my last tribute to SU body so I'll remember it for the next one. I'm a School of Management Grad, '98. Lived right behind Shaw Hall on Ostrom senior year. I'll have to also work on a Dinosaur BBQ tribute body in the future. I've got some research ahead of me for that one. Have a good one everyone and thanks!

 

[Candyman]

Yeah, research is a must if you're going to do a Dinosaur body. I'm all about their Cuban sandwich. It's like BBQ pork flavored crack...
I work at Upstate Hospital now, so I'm up on the hill all the time. I think there going to name a booth after our clinic at Faegan's.

Oh man, I'm jealous! I live outside of Providence, RI. Haven't been back in over 5 years now. I'd love to get up for a basketball game this season though. Or I should say I'd love to get up there for some ribs and corn bread from the Dino and catch a bball game while I'm up there. HA!

Very nice for a first paintjob! Keep up the good work.

Looks great for your first lid, I've done a handfull of lids over the years and to me they just come out ok, never been real great at it...

 

[Runaway Jim]

Thanks Guys! I can do better. I can't wait to bash through this one so I have an excuse to work on another body...
