Prostreet Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I like where this is going Virgil. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Hand Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Look foward to seeing the paint job on this build Virgil. 1st set of wheels are cool,but some Pegasus 1119 gold face Dz's would look even better imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 I think I have a whole bunch of those Pegasus wheel kits somewhere, I have to keep looking for them. The paint goes on today. Stay tuned in for more . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 LOL, it's coming. I've been sick these last couple of days. The pollen allergies are killing me, but then it's time to hit the bench. Stay tuned in. I gotta do one panel at a time on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyjunker1 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 this is going to be great. i like everyone else is on the edge of my seat waiting for the end result.and i realy like the p/up. cranky cranks out another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 All right, my friends, the painting has begun and it's very tedious because although it is easy to paint planets and space scenes (circles and spatters and well anything else you can throw it) to get it to have some depth you gotta use candies and I am also using the PEARL EX powders to give it some bling. Working on the biggest panel (the top) and next I am going to move to the side panels, and then the rest should be free hand templates . . . I'm still holding my breath, as you should too. This stuff can go wrong quick. The panel frames (tape cut to size) will stay during the entire painting process . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Just a couple more for now, stay tuned in for more . . . You gotta make sure you paint in dry every step of the process which is why the best paint for this is urethane, it dries so fast . . .

Dr. Cranky Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thanks, Jim . . . I am getting the other side panels done with the space theme, then we are changing it up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Here are the side panels. They are all done for now, once I get the rest painted with the "different" graphics, I will come back in for final details and then clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thanks, folks. I've been fighting the flu AND working on this paint job. A lot of masking involved. Now that all the panels are done, I covered them up so no paint would get on them while I work on the rest of the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixx Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Gonna be another killer Doc!!!!! TAKE CARE OF THAT FLU Man!!! you're doing better than I did when I got it two weeks ago!!! stuff xtra vitamins down the hatch Doc!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thanks, Derrick. Yeah, I'm taking stuff, but I'm already infected, just gotta right it out, I guess. Stay tuned in for more progress . . . this thing is fighting me some, but I think I can beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 All right, I've got some progress and have the build all the way up to the first rounds of candies and one pass of clear . . . this thing has a lot of bling on it, but it's not going to show until I put a few more coats of clear on there . . . Broke out some of my Steampunk Templates as well the the biomechanical set Mike Levalle put out . . . You can see the PEARL EX sparkle on this side . . . I wanted to have a mechanical/psychedelic look to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
