Thanks Bryan!

[Ira]

Ahh ok, that makes sense. Well I'm loving your ideas, can't wait to see it all finished, keep it up.

Thanks Jason!

[Dr. Cranky]

Again, beautiful work on that body. Moving right along, Ira.

[JasonFL]

Moving right along. I didn't notice this before until you put it into primer but I love how those panel lines carry onto the body, over the rear wheels and on the roof. I almost would rather just see it in a solid color so you don't lose all these beautiful lines but it's not gonna matter either way, it's gonna look killer. I'm excited to see it coming all together

[Ira]

This build is a really good idea. Nice combination.

Thanks for the kind words Dave!

[Ira]

That Hog head is just awesome,the perfect added touch,Ira this is why you are a master at these "Toon" creations!!!

Thanks for the kind words Mike, Glad you like it!

[Ira]

Now we're talking ... I always enjoyed the Hoggs on the Rupp Farm!

Thanks Glenn!

[Ira]

[Ira]

ONE MORE THING!!!

I Boxed in the Nose and made a Front Axle Mount before the Final Coat of Primer. I also made a Full Belly Pan that will be Painted Gloss Black.

Now For Some Paint!!!

[Ira]

FLAMING ORANGE HOG VETTE!!!

I applied a coat of Testors Diamond Dust, then I sprayed 3 more coats of Testors Flaming Orange!

After the Orange dried I masked off the body and sprayed 2 coats of Gloss Black!

Turned out OK, Thank Goodness!!!

I always worry that the paint will run under the masking tape...

[James2]

Oh Boy!

[cobraman]

I always spray a coat of clear after masking before spraying a second color on a 2 tone paint job. Works good.

[Modellpularn]

Another cool creation, Ira!! What makes you tick, or have this creativity? Seems like mine's gone out the window, or something...

Another great looking build !! One question about Squlpey . What is it ?

Thanks Andy!

Squlpey is a modeling clay that you bake in the oven to dry.

[Ira]

FATTENING UP THE HOG!!!

I started Painting the Hog and realized that He was Too Thin in the Cheeks!

I added some Squadren Putty to each Cheek.

The Putty works well with the Squlpey.

I think that's enough Fat, Now I'll get back to Painting again...

[1930fordpickup]

The paint looks great Ira and thanks for the info on the Squlpey.

[cobraman]

It looks quite a bit better with the added putty. I love how you seem to never be satisfied until it is just right.

[Ira]

HOG GRAPHICS!!!

After a lot of Cutting and Fitting, and Solvaset, I got the Hog Decals on the Body!

Here is the Bi-Level Wing...

Hope you like it!

[Tony T]

Coming along great, Ira!
