One other scheme that I tried just recently was to perform this technique but only on certain panels of the model. For instance, paint your model whatever color you intend it to be and then mask off for rally stripes, for example. Lay down a thin coat of clear over the area to be painted so that no paint bleeds through your mask and then paint a new base color. When this is dry then perform the "swirladelic technique". After the paint is dry enough remove your mask and you have swirled rally stripes. I would show you the results but I am in the process of moving and everything is packed away. After I am settled I will shoot some pics. to show. This is just one example. There are plenty of different ways that you could pull off this look.

That is sharp. The badges look great on there. Sure to be a winning model when finished.

Jairus is right, anything other than enamels with merely seperate and build up on the edges of the container you are using. Also it doesn't really matter how you layer the paints if you spray it on because once you swirl the paint it will all be mixed together anyway. After all, that is the focus on this process. One other thing not mentioned in the article. Have a hair dryer handy and plugged in. After you pull the body from the paint hit it with the hair dryer to help remove any built up water bubbles. Use a medium to cool setting and it will blow away much of the excess buildup of water trapped by the paint.

Very nice. I like it a lot. Nice paint.

It looks great. Nice detail. Clean build. One thing though, you could turn the front axle over to drop the front end down where it belongs. The directions for these kits were incorrect in showing people how to attach this piece.

Here are the guys that make it all happen. Thanks for putting out a great magazine and an excellent forum. Even though I am moving back East I'm sure that I will run into you guys periodically at shows back there. A big thank you for all your efforts.

It took a while to download but they are finally ready. Over 300 pictures including pics. from the awards brunch. http://public.fotki.com/1320wayne/model_shows/gsl-xxi/

There's a new morning radio show. It's the Mark and Mark show and they were broadcasting from the GSL at Salt Lake. Take a look!

It looks cool. Nice paint job.

Cool build. I especially like the Stars and Bars on the roof.

Something is wrong with the link. Nothing comes up.

Looks quite showworthy to me. I can't to see this one in person in a couple of days.

Jairus, as soon as I see you in your pink shirt I will run back to my room and put mine on as well.

Here are the final touches. The bodywork framework was completed using Evergreen styrene, tubing and rod. And, the chute lines and release cables have been added.

Here are links to a couple of Grumpy reference albums that may be useful. http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4292284851 http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4292328765

As a follow up to Bob Paeth's post about the SABA club, I have recently created club folders for all of the members that I have pics. of their models and set them up in my Fotki site. Click on the link below to see. http://public.fotki.com/1320wayne/saba-club-member-models/ There is also a complete folder with club meeting coverage from the last three years, minus a couple of meetings that I was unable to attend. You can check these out at the link below. http://public.fotki.com/1320wayne/saba_club_meetings/ Thanks for looking.

By the way, your mockup looks cool. I'm sure that it will look great when it is done.

I don't mean to sound like I am talking down, but what's hard to understand? The web site shows the wheels, the price, and the address to send your money to get those items. They are great resin items. I have bought some before and they have great detail and paint up really nice. Your source of these items is most likely limited and this has all of the choices that you need.

Awesome job. A super clean build.

Excellent job. I'm a Mopar guy but I've always liked the lines of 66-67 Nova. Black is a hard color to paint but you pulled it off perfectly.

Thanks for the kind words, Randy. As far as the chure cords goes, like most detail that I add I try to find an inexpensive way to come up with raw materials that can be used for detail purposes. The chute cords here are actually cut from an elastic strap from an I.D. holder from a corpoarte event that I attended with my job. For some reason I saved all of these over the last few years and now I have found a use for them. I just cut them to size and added some Testors metalizer paint to them.

That is sharp. Kinda gives me ideas of what to do with my 60 Fury that I have future plans for.

That is one sweet looking build. The two tone look is perfect.

The existing web site will be down sometime in May and as soon as it is done I will have all of the albums fully updated on my site. Thanks for asking.

Here are some pictures of my latest project. This has been a four month build. A resin body from Freeman and a funny car chassis from Revell. Lots of detail with every bit of wiring possible.
