jamesG Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 I'm not a fan of low riders but I love the concept. You have given me some ideas for a future build. I also paint gaming minies but never thought of using them on a model. Looking good keep it coming.

I never thought of using them either till Dr.Cranky gave me the idea, that and watch parts, every model has a place for both. small update, been learning how to use my sherline lathe to make the pully set for this chevy, and oil breather cap, radiator cap.

Darren B Posted April 23, 2012 Author Posted April 23, 2012 got the fenders attached to the old fenders just need to clean up under the fenders to hide some of the edges.
rmvw guy Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I agree with who ever said this project has taken a life of it's own. It just keeps building and building and building. So much waiting for a splash of paint. Keep grinding away Darren, we will all be anxiously waiting at the finish line ( Under Glass). This may be one of the great builds of the decade. I can hear them, Go Darren! Go Darren! Go Darren!....... Oh and I love the holes in the skirts where you can see the skulls on the wheels and the window webs. I can visualise some red LEDs with smoke coming from them. Still enjoying the ride!
Darren B Posted May 2, 2012 Author Posted May 2, 2012 just a small update, did some more detail work to engine, skulls for carbs, sword valve cover and figured out how to couple trailer to truck...
Darren B Posted May 2, 2012 Author Posted May 2, 2012 and im renaming it this build to Hell Train cause its been a hell of a build and it now has a trailer so Hell train.

jamesG Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Looks like it's just getting closer to paint. Can't wait to see it finished. Keep up the good work.
Darren B Posted May 2, 2012 Author Posted May 2, 2012 James it is ready for paint thing is im at a total loss on what color/colors to paint this thing!!! been searching for a long time on what and how to paint it.
jamesG Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) How about ultra flat black with a water splash type graphic done in blood red or red with ghosted stretched faces? Edited May 3, 2012 by jamesG
1930fordpickup Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 I was thinking a paint that flip flops . Just depends on the view you are looking from. Would that be in the peal?
Darren B Posted May 4, 2012 Author Posted May 4, 2012 thanks guys for the input, thinking now maybe black red and silver, this has been the hardest as far as deciding on paint colors, i want the colors to compliment all the foam pieces to make them stand out.
imatt88 Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 daerren, I'm from Da UP, eh. Way up north. Black with silver highlights... cheers, Ian

Darren B Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 show this just now on the net, I may never get this thing done theres about 10 things on this thing may have to try out.....
Darren B Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 Even the Reaper likes a day off ouch in a while I would think surfin could be his dig, hehe!!! I havent given up on the surf board idea yet, just have to find a clever way to incorporate the board without it sticking out of place to much. I may even have to add another trailer on the casket trailer to add the board but thats in the planning stages yet.

jnickel Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 ######. Can't say much more than that lol. What if for the paint, it has both flat and gloss elements? Flat in the front end peeling back the gloss? Just a suggestion. I'm sure there's gonna be more added now that you've posted that last pic. Keep it going Darren!
Dr. Cranky Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Always salivatin' at the prospect of new progress, Darren.
