41 Willys Outlandish Paint

[Rider]

This was/is nothing more then an experiment of different paint techniques on one subject. 

It is rather wacky and busy that is for sure. I learned and tried quite a bit of new techniques to me. Some of these will find their way onto future builds. 

All said and done close to 30 different shades/colours of paint went into this.

Thanks for looking in. Say what you will about the look.

Wild and outlandish for sure.

Congrats on finishing this - lots of hard work went into this one!

Can't wait to see what other creations you have in store for us down the road.

That's a real leaf under the clear, right?

Ya know,  before I clicked I said to myself, "I'll decide what is outlandish paint".

 

 

Outlandish indeed...

[GaryR]

Good work! So tell us HOW you did it? The lace is decals I assume?

[RestoModGuy]

69- it is a pretty flower, lol. Thanks man.

One Trick Pony- Thanks, not a real leaf,  all paint.

DragLine- yup totally outlandish

Thanks Steve. I am working on the Chrysler 300c now. Should be much less wacky but just involved.

[Hubert Rollins]

Neat experiment!!

Very cool paint job, that had to take some time. Is that poison ivy?

[Rider]

Thanks guys, yup poison ivy. 

[Mike C]

Wow! That sure is a great paint job!

[JJ Deuce]

Sweet!  Where'd you find lace that tiny?  I've been trying to find some to model my buddy's '59 Biscayne but all I've found is too big to be convincing in 1/25

[Helix]

Wow, that's insane Lloyd, well done !!

[V8 Trucker]

I am absolutely delighted with your painting

[Rider]

Thanks JJ, at a fabric store. PM me your address and I will send you a few samples, and enough to do a build.

Man oh man that is one good looking paint job,  How long did it take to paint?  I hope you come and bring it to the model show in Toronto in Sept, would love to see it.

[Yenkocamaro]

Looks like a little of every painting technique known to man

 

Cheers,

I think that looks pretty cool and kudos to you for taking the time and effort to expand your painting skills!  I'm sure you learned a lot, good and bad, and are probably looking forward to your next project.

Hippies years are back!!! Nice finishing skills

[Rider]

Dan- Thanks Dan, it took about 2months of bench time. If I can make it I will bring it for the display table. I might be away on business that week. Won't know until the end of August. 

YC- lol, You got that right, lol. 

Burn O- It was a worthy project, I learned a ton and gain some valuable AB control skills.

Ulbo- Thanks, I think I need a dio with some hippies and bell bottoms, lol.
