Dr. Cranky Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 Octopus or not, you are feeding us a heck of a lot of great eye candy. I'd like to see more Pearl X powder experimentation too.
LoneWolf15 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Meant to ask you , did you like the color combo on the '53 Ford . I will be using different color bases here shortly.The black base has really offered up some colors that I wouldn't have thought possible !
Dr. Cranky Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 Yes, my understanding with all these Jacquard products is that they really POP over black. Everything I've read about them in all the different craft uses, black is always the perfect undercoat/foundation.
Dr. Cranky Posted August 20, 2012 Author Posted August 20, 2012 Crazy Jim will be happy to hear this, but the Doctor is back in the booth once again painting a few models using Donn's methods, and they never cease to amaze me with the consistently good results. Here are a few new bodies (I still have to apply the last round of pearls and flakes, then buff and shine):
Kustom Rodder Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Dang Doc they be lookin good keep the paint production line rolling i can see some nice build ups in the future.
LoneWolf15 Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Best to pour a really tall one , Jim ! Rumor has it , this is going to take awile ! The ADD is in full swing and The Crankster is on a roll ! Pearls , flakes , and paint are flyin' , and he's waaaay too happy with all of it ! Just breaks my heart that I created such a monster ....... Not ! Keep it rollin' , Virgil , you're doing it all justice!
bryan_m Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Mr Yost does some incredible paintwork, and i have seen it first hand at the 3RAM shows, the man builds some seriously beautiful models! Kudos Don! keep `em coming! cheers bryan
Dr. Cranky Posted August 21, 2012 Author Posted August 21, 2012 Thanks, Donn. Wait until you see them next with some Pearl Ex POP added to them. Lordy, I'm enjoying this. I want to put out a cologne fragrance simply called ENAMEL. :lol:
captin Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 man its a good thing i was wearing my sunglass i would have been blinded by those paint jobs very nice im yet to work on a shiny model yet im thinking that might be the next project.
Dr. Cranky Posted August 21, 2012 Author Posted August 21, 2012 Well, here are these two babies and both don't need a thing, but you know I will polish them further. The gold flakes really do wonders for the orange one.
LoneWolf15 Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Brian , Thank you ! High praise coming from someone who is as talented as you are ! Maybe we can borrow some of Virg's ADD , install it in you , then you'll be able to finish all of your projects in about 20 minutes ! Lol ! Virgil , I would love to see that '55 with an Antique Silver pearl overlay ! Hint , hint !
Dr. Cranky Posted August 21, 2012 Author Posted August 21, 2012 Donn, I will use the antique silver on the next one . . . this one has yellow pearl and gold flakes.
LoneWolf15 Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Donn, I will use the antique silver on the next one . . . this one has yellow pearl and gold flakes. I meant the black one ! Lol ! Any more shine off that orange one and it would be labeled a hazard to ones eye sight !
Dr. Cranky Posted August 21, 2012 Author Posted August 21, 2012 Oh, I see . . . well, I just might try it . . . yes sir. Antique silver Pearl EX . . . yes.
Kustom Rodder Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Doc do you use the plastikote primer on all your builds?
Dr. Cranky Posted August 21, 2012 Author Posted August 21, 2012 Mike, yes, for the most part, but I'm using Donn's Aluminum Plate method for these enamel paint jobs.
