I was happy to finish two, looking at this beautiful collection I feel like such a slacker!
Very nice work! I especially like the Big Rig. Also, a WW car is Katie’s next build.

Great looking cars. Looks like you have a good method for doing decals, custom or store bought?

I really like the fenders on Eagle, Wonder Woman and Life Life. I need to figure out how to build some decent fenders

George, All of them were done differently. The only decals are on Spirit of the Eagle and the wing of Spirit of America.
Top Wonder Woman is a sticker.
Bottom Wonder Woman was done by hand (except for black striping tape).
Stars on Spirit of America are stickers.
Live Life is all automotive vinyl. Car parts arrive Sat morning before race. Car shipped Mon morning. Didn't have time for much.

Nice work! Congratulations on learning how to post pictures. Now we all can enjoy seen more things from you. The Big Rig is my Favorite. Looks like you really worked hard on those MA cars.

They came from a kit.
Wish you were closer. I could use some paint colors and pattern ideas. Right now I've got nothing cranking my tractor.

Cool guitars. I think I want to challenge myself to some new technique(s). Figuring out the colors and steps etc. Knowing that I'm up against a couple artists and a bunch of microscopes makes me want to step it up. Or, at least do something - cool for looks. Plus I'm going to attempt some vinyl as wraps this time. And, I'm wracking my brain as to how I'm going to blend with sides etc. I don't want layers of vinyl (weight). And, since I'm no pro I'm not sure how to do the fenders and other curves without ugly lines and creases.

I know with Automotive Wraps (might be thicker) they use heat to stretch the vinyl get a tight fit. Not sure how well it would work on thinner vinyl and on such a smaller scale. Im still working on the paint demo video to show my process. It won't be "show quality paint" but it'll show all the steps to get better results from Rattle cans. This is assuming it doesn't go sideways on me as I've been short cutting to keep the video around an hour long |
