foundationsedge Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 thankyou everyone for your positive replys, the paint flames were done like this, I started with a silver base coat using acrylic paint from a spray can, then over that with a candy purple from a spray can, (this paint is made by a company called PACTRA and is intended for use on the undersides of clear lexan R.C. car bodies), the flames were painted free hand using a double action airbrush at 15psi, with VALLEJO paints mixed at 50/50, first with a blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foundationsedge Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) continued... I then used a white, over the top of that, again working freehand, then sprayed over that with transparent blue, then again with white, going over that with transparent purple red and blue highlights,all the paints used are acrylics by VALLEJO,except for the PACTRA, and the paints were thinned with concentrate screenwash, then three coats of high gloss lacquer I used a dvd by mike levelle for hints and tips, apology's if I spelt his name wrong,t he biggest issue is splatter, I worked very close to the model to get the fine lines, working in quick motions,and had to keep adjusting the mix to get the flow I wanted, too thin and it splattered, too thick and it clogged, so it was a case of trial and error . for anyone who wants to try, go for it, this is my second try at it,this might not be the right way to achieve a true fire effect, but its how I did this, I want to try a green fire effect next, but need to clear the work bench, first...lol Edited August 22, 2013 by foundationsedge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastardo Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Thank you very much for the how-to, Gordon! I sure will give it a try, as you make it look easy Hoping for the best... X) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
