bryan_m Posted September 7, 2012 Author Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Jason, heres that masking fluid in action........ you just apply it with a brush to what you wanna mask...... then just let it dry completely, and shoot the paint on you want..... ( that will be comin) more to come bryan Edited September 7, 2012 by bryan_m

bryan_m Posted September 7, 2012 Author Posted September 7, 2012 I had some of that clear red tail light repair tape here, so i cut it into 2" scale strips, and laid it over the left taillight............here what i came up with... it just needs some dull coat and dirt now. more to come, lemme know what ya think guys! cheers bryan
bryan_m Posted September 7, 2012 Author Posted September 7, 2012 thanks Mark! ill have some more progress to post in a few minutes. cheers bryan
bryan_m Posted September 7, 2012 Author Posted September 7, 2012 i shot some dulcoat on the tail light tape, and dirtied it up a bit.... shot the tranny with "casters greay" and painted those tail lights that i used the liquid masker on earlier..... once they dry ill remove the masking, more to come bryan
bryan_m Posted September 7, 2012 Author Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Jason, here is the tail light with that liquid masker removed with a toothpick.........it still needs cleaned up a little bit, but you get the idea. heres a shot of it in the bumper........and cleaned up a bit more bryan Edited September 7, 2012 by bryan_m

cobraman Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Bryan, this is a very cool project and it is coming along nicely. Can't wait to see it finished. By the way you might want to put some wheels on your Iced Tea cup. : )
bryan_m Posted September 7, 2012 Author Posted September 7, 2012 thanks Ray! yea the "ICED TEA TANKARD" could use some wheels n tires, maybe some air ride suspension too!! LOL cheers bryan
cobraman Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Excuse me but are'nt you suposed to be working on your model ? : )
bryan_m Posted September 7, 2012 Author Posted September 7, 2012 Excuse me but are'nt you suposed to be working on your model ? : ) im shot for tonight Ray, i busted my butt doin yardwork tonight, gettin sleepy now....and thats a good thing because i NEVER sleep, my insomnia is just insane sometimes ill go 3 days and not sleep, just sit here like a zombie. so when im tired i take advantage of it.... ill be back at it in the morning though! cheers bryan
cobraman Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Man, Bryan I don't think I knew about your sleeping problem. That's rough. I hate when I have just one of those rare nights when I only get 4 ot 5 hours of sleep. I hope you can get some rest tonight.
bryan_m Posted September 7, 2012 Author Posted September 7, 2012 yea ill be ok ray.......thanks! it really sucks when you cant sleep....i think tonight might be one of those nights that i dont, i was feelin tired, but now i am wide awake....... oh well, maybe ill be goin back to the bench in a bit! bryan
Dr. Cranky Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 YES! I love those tail light details you are putting into this build. Very cool.
Dr. Cranky Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 What? You must have gone to sleep. Sleep up and rest, get those batteries recharged. Hit it hard this weekend.
Modelbuilder Mark Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 got the rear bumper weathered a bit, i didnt wanna go too far, a little weathering on chrome goes a long way.......plus most trim is stainless steel...but bumpers arent. its more dirt than anything.... a couple shots in place.... stay tuned, more to come bryan I really like the result you have there with the pitting. How did you do that if you do not mind sharing?
JamesW Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 I really like the result you have there with the pitting. How did you do that if you do not mind sharing? X2, I need some tips with the chrome for a future build.
JasonFL Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Jason, here is the tail light with that liquid masker removed with a toothpick.........it still needs cleaned up a little bit, but you get the idea. heres a shot of it in the bumper........and cleaned up a bit more bryan Bryan, that is some really cool stuff. I'm gonna have to look for it next time im in micheals. Thanks for the tutorial, you do some clean work.
bryan_m Posted September 9, 2012 Author Posted September 9, 2012 thanks guys! gonna try to get something done this evening.......stay tuned cheers bryan
