My new M5.

[Candyman]

Or "How I got off my ass and painted something new"

It's an HPI 200mm BMW M5. All the panels and M5 logo were handcut using Dively's Liquid Mask. Shading is done with Pactra Transparent Smoke. The rest is Faskolor except the Alclad Chrome.

The pic kinda sucks. Having trouble getting the lighting right. I'll get some more soon as it's going up for sale.

It's about freakin time! I was wondering if you sold your brush, lol. Looks great man, I love that look! Nice job Candyman.

thats pretty sweet! I like the rust on the M and the 5.. Nice touch.

 

[Candyman]

DAmn, that would have been a cool idea. It's not rust. It's just something red reflecting in the chrome. Like I said, the pic kinda sucks.

Wow! That wouldn't happen to fit on a NTC3, would it?

 

[Candyman]

Why that would happen to fit one perfectly...

Very Sweet ..
Never tried panels before but i might have to give it a whirl...
what did you use for the rivets?

 

[Tarant]

A Black Sharpie is what most people use for rivets, I am guessing that is what he used.


Candyman, That is a sweet body I wish I had a airbrush i always wanted to do a panel theme. Very Cool

It's about time you painted something...Looks great, I like the panels!

what did you use for the rivets?

For the rivets I use an opaque paint pen. Pop in to Walmart or Michael's or any art store and you can find them in tons of colors. I have black and white that I use for some outlining and stuff, but they also come in silver and gold and some other colors. And they stick pretty well to the polycarbonate.

For rivets I have found a toothpic and regular lexan paint works great, thats what I use.
