Brian Nehring Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Took this Revell pro mod 57 Chevy and set it on fire. I'm still developing my true fire technique but it's starting to come easier now. Wanted this one to look like it was burning really hot so I used alot of yellow in the fire.

Brian Nehring Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 really hot flames they really look real are you using a single action or double action airbrush to do these flames and what kind of paint are you using Thanks for the compliments, I'm using an Iwata Eclipse double action airbrush. The flames are painted using Planet Color custom paint from Sherwin Williams over a House of Kolor black base. Cleared it in PPG Concept DCU2021 clear urethane. Thanks again, Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart-Resins Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Another awesome paint job! I would like to know what you use for masking! Jody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul_Perez Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 WOW!! All I can say is that one of two things has to happen: 1) I learn how to do the true flames myself; 2) You sell pre-painted bodies. GREAT WORK!! Thanks for sharing, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smart-Resins Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Rual, he actually does! I saw one of them he sold a few weeks ago. Went for a pretty Penny and a few nickels, a dozed dimes and a baggy full of guarters. But it sure was nice!!. Jody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Nehring Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Another awesome paint job! I would like to know what you use for masking! Jody Thanks Jody, For doing true fire I do not use any masking, I use shields that I've made to get various shapes when I need them but most of what you see here is free hand. When I do my traditional style flames I use a liquid mask that I mix with water to about the consitancy of milk and I shoot it through my airbrush. Dry it with a hair dryer between coats, spray on 6-8 light coats. Draw the pattern on with a sharpie and trim it with an exacto knife.

Smart-Resins Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Very cool! Two quick questions, what kind of liquid masking do you use? Second, what do you make your shields out of? I have seen some different ways of doing these true flames done! Eventually I want to be able to! Of course, right now I am still trying to learn how to even use the airbrush! LOL. I am getting decent with alclad, but nothing else so far. Jody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shields I use I made from some transparent plastic that I got from Hobby Lobby, it's the same material that paint stencils are made from. You can also use card stock, I've even made them from subscription cards from magazines, you just cut them in various shapes with different curves.

Dr. Cranky Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Beautiful work, some of the best true fire work I've seen on a model yet! Great work. I hope you will do a How-To for the forum or the mag. Beautiful!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR BIGGS Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Wow...... Some of the nicest true flames I have seen on a model car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Those are truly some nice-looking flames, on both the '57 and the late model 'Stang. You've got great talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKIN10SECS Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) The more I look....the more I see, your flames are incredible. The amount of surface covered, the angles that you take, the length, the subtle tail ends etc. etc.....I know we call it true fire but there has to be boundries and form.....and man....you da man. I would love to see you do an all black body with the light blue fire (my favorite combo). Do I hear an Instructional DVD....put me on the list. GREAT WORK!!!!!!!
