Ok I am getting ill! Mind you this is a Micro body

[HumboldtBlazer]

Ok here is my latest: Its the Ferrari 360. I painted the horse on the hood that is not sticker! This was my first atempt at a checkered flag look. Also note the window tint. It was my first time trying to tint the windows. I was scared because at the end the body turned out so sick I thought I just didn't want to F it up trying to tint the windows and failing. I tried it anyway and used 70% thinner and 30% outlaw black. I did 2 lite coats and called it quits. It really finished the car in my mind. I will post some better pics later but I was at work and my desk was the only background.

Very nice. Looks like you get better with each body.

Wow blazer. That body looks very nice. :thumbsup:

 

[HumboldtBlazer]

Yeah that's my 3rd body with this new airbrush. The dual action takes a little getting used to. I did one buggy and 2 micro's now. Just let me get some more paint time on it and I'm goin pro. I would have to say I enjoy the painting as much as I do driving, but it might be the fumes!:lick:

Thanks for the compliments guys I was looking for the afermation this morning

8-0 great job! Like the horse.

Hey guys, if ok with the mods how many of you would participate if I put on a body painting contest? With like a $30-$40 prize of something?

 

[Team 17]

Sounds like a good idea. Count me in.

I dunnno, I think that contest should be two categories- Airbrush and Paintcans. Airbrushes are capable of such complex and cool designs. Not all of us (little kids) can't afford an airbrush and a air compressor. Also, I vote for candyman as the winnner...man he does good bodies.

Nice ferrari humbolt! Looks like you are getting better every time. I love the flag idea, looks pretty simple but it came out great. And when I first saw it I thought the horse really was a sticker! Shows just how good you are.:thumbsup:

I thought the checkered flag would be easy too. I had to number each piece and then place them. I was kinda hard to get it to flow good but it came out alright in the end. I was going to do more fades but I thought about it and came to the dicision that keeping it kinda simple would hold true to the Ferrari look. Like I said if I get about 10 more bodies under my belt if I keep improving at the rate I think I am I'll be pretty damn good. Well I'll keep painting and keep posting them and let you guys be the judge.

better photos as promised

That is a nice job. If you didn't say you painted it I would have thought it was a decal. Awesome job!!!

 

[HumboldtBlazer]

Thank you! The feedback makes me feel great. I am trying to produce top notch bodies but still have A LOT of practice to do. My latest project was the Skyline, but now I just finished masking off my newest master piece a 350 Z. I am going big on this one so stay tuned. If it turns out the way I am hoping it will be the best yet and put the other designs to shame.
