mademan Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 here`s a project that I have been planning for a while now. I started out with a Betoscustoms Resin. trimmed it all up, did a bit of cleanup, nothing major. ill let the pics do the talking: add them to the pile! -layed out some HOK orion silver fine flake -figuring out my first masks -getting em filled in - first color- HOK Planet Green
mademan Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 -started masking out for my second color HOK limetime shimrin pearl. -layed down some lime-time pearl then masked off a bit more shot some thinned down organic green kandy
mademan Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 i decided to shoot Lime-gold kandy! and i really like how it came out. Now is wetsand time, then gel pens, foil and final clear.
mademan Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 -started to foil, and outline my "patterns" in gelpen
mademan Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 did 1 shot of clear, to seal it all in, since the gel pens dont dry, unless cleared. so now I can wait, wetsand again, do some more penwork, and a bit of gold leaf. then 4 or so more clear coats. Btw im using Dupont Premier chroma-clear through a Paasche vls-t
rollinoldskoo Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 thats the best looking big-body cadillac converable i've seen yet
george 53 Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 WoW does THAT look sharp! Are ALL those Caddy bodies from "Betos"? Who is he, an where can I get a hold of him? I really do like the newer Cad body styles, and wouldn't mind buildin a few.Yours look like they're gonna be really cool! Sure do like that green!
Marcelspeed Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 WOW those colors come together very nice. You have a good eye. Can't wait to see more.
Bernard Kron Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Great paint work! Very nice resin bodies, too. It's gonna look sharp! What are gel pens? Thanx, B.
mademan Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 Great paint work! Very nice resin bodies, too. It's gonna look sharp! What are gel pens? Thanx, B. thanks for all the comments guys! Gel pens are just your everyday school supply, the ink is a thicker gel in different colors, you can draw pinstripes, outlines, designs etc. But you have to clear over it so that it doesnt smudge, because they do not fuly dry. the best ones are the Rose Art brand.
mademan Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 heres one more from in the sunlight today. the clear really made the pearl/ and flake PoP
mademan Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 WoW does THAT look sharp! Are ALL those Caddy bodies from "Betos"? Who is he, an where can I get a hold of him? I really do like the newer Cad body styles, and wouldn't mind buildin a few.Yours look like they're gonna be really cool! Sure do like that green! he goes by the name Betoscustoms on Layitlow.com model forum. When he first cast them they were around 100.00 /each, but im not sure what they are at now. Detail is great. the vert comes with moulded in hood. but comes with an aftermarket Castle grille. Uptop, down boot, door panels, second shirts, conti. kit. so its all there. And they use the Impala ss (94-6) kit, or caprice taxi/firechief/police, as a donor. The 4dr fleetwods come with open hood, but you have to use the wupet cowl from the impala.
mademan Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 I decided on the color for my top/ boot and guts... Light sandy tan. Goes well with the paint, im quite happy with how it came out.
Joe Handley Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Very nice, do those bodies fit the lowrider Caddy or Caprice/Impala SS chassis?
JamesW Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Looks awesome Made, you must really like green. When are we gonna see more of the hearse?
gilsdropshop1 Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 coming out great keep pics coming and great job.
mademan Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 Looks awesome Made, you must really like green. When are we gonna see more of the hearse? thanks for the comments guys! Ill be bumping my hearse topic later on tonight with a few minor updates. Nothing major, but im gettin there. also- The body fits the impala/caprice (92 caprice, 94-6 impala)
mademan Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 I never did finish this one, but i got the body all done. did my gel pen work on the hood and trunk, all I did was outline the couple patterns, followed by some gold foil, and a few more generous coats of Dupont premier chroma clear. In the last coat I mixed in a little bit of murano blue pearl. It is hard to see it, but in the right light, it shimmers. I also painted the lips on some 1109`s Gold, as well as the knock offs
LDO Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 i dont understood. why somebuddy wood cut up a gud caddilac... Oh I can't do it. Nice work, man. I like your green hearse, too.
