Great subject matter and to top it all off that paint job then turns it into a one-of-a-kind model. Congratulations.

Awesome paintwork.

[mikemodeler]

WOW ! With a paint job like that, I don't think there is much need for any emergency lights on it !

That is definitely eye catching and very well detailed!

Thanks for sharing.

That thing is just a little frightening... and very cool!

Please tell me though, what is "true fire"? Is it paint or decals?

David, True Fire was done by a painter named Mike LAVALLEE thru his shop "Killer Paint"

He does those flames all freehand on any surface, He sells the stencils and DVD to show you how.

That painter was on TV about 3 months ago(some hot rod show). He does Supper work. Did not think he would paint models.

Back in the 50's 60's or so when folks started painting flames on the cars to look like fire/flames.

also there is a ghost flames that is were the flames and the back ground color are just about the same and how you are looking at the body(now you see it now you don't)ghost flames.

Mike Lavallee he does what is called True Fire. IF you look at a real fire there are lots of colors of blues,reds yellows and orange's and every now and then a some green's,depending on what you burning.
