Just need to pick up some #16 exacto blades so I can cut the liquid mask better this time hopefully

I think that's why they make stickers for the outside.

Very true! But that's not challenging enough

Design are all rough sketched in. Next is liquid masking. Debating keeping the windows clear or painting them black too.

 

[OnwardGuinevere]

It has been a while! I'm happy to report i finished removing my decals and masking for everything to be painted black. And I may just be able to get some paint on it tomorrow!

The stitch marks across the windows will not stay there. Still debating painting the windows black or something or leaving them clear.

 

[OnwardGuinevere]

I got some black paint on this thing today!

Letting this dry overnight, maybe I can get to the color blocking during the week.

Painting is getting trickier with the change in seasons.

100%! It was probably too cold today, but I was tired of waiting, so I took a gamble and just went for it.

 

[OnwardGuinevere]

The weather gods were in my favor today. Got some color blocking done on the buggy. First time mixing Spaz Stix paint. Mixed some purple. I had to remix because I forgot a section, and so one stripe is a touch darker , but I'll live.
Proud of myself for making the teal color I wanted out of fluorescent yellow, blue and a dash of white.

One more color to go and some final details...taking a break for now.

Wow that’s incredible. Is it stitching you’re going for, or barbed wire?

Stitching. I'm a big Nightmare Before Christmas fan, so its Sally Skellington's dress pattern.

Meh, seems to be a west coast thing... but I think you're still ahead of @Doom!

Thanks! I hoping it'll still look good once I back it all with white

I just realized it reminds me of Sally on the Nightmare Before Christmas.
