crazyjim Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Here's my latest - a custom '59 Chevy finished in HOK magenta kandy. This is the first time I've tried water spots and I like how it came out. Many thanks to Fatkidd for telling/showing me how to do them. Interior was cut apart so buckets could go in front & back along with a console. Maybe (finally) some decent engine pics. That's a Fatkidd 2nd generation distributor. And here's the water spots. I couldn't resist this pic. I drilled through the fin and into the fender for the sunken antennas.
72 Charger Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Now thats cool love the arials and the color . where did you get those wire wheels i would love a set of them How do you do that water spots trick very different Doobie
Dr. Cranky Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Great paint job, Jim. Water drop FX are a blast, ain't they? Another beautiful model. Congrats.
crazyjim Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Thank you, Doobie. You wouldn't believe how easy the water spots are. I used the Fatkidd method. I'm not sure if he like that I gave any secrets out, but basically mask off an area, squirt water on the area, shoot some color from a low angle. I think it looks pretty cool.

crazyjim Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 Thank you, doc. Water drops are pretty cool. I might try again on a '57 Vette I started. SHINY :) RULES!
rustymodeler Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 I am really digging the color and the antannas. Nice work man
Johnny K Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Really like what you did with those antennas. Great job all around.
JasonFL Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Very nice build Jim. You did an excellent job on the water spots, some of the best I've seen. I'm not a fan of pink but that color is beautiful. I'm also lovin them antannas, that was a nice touch.
JunkPile Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Nice lookin' build Jim. Be careful with that water though, it can cause RUST !
rmvw guy Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Nice lookin' build Jim. Be careful with that water though, it can cause RUST ! I'm still laughing! That antenna is very popular and I love it too! Nice paint work, congrats on a beautiful custom.
Sixties Sam Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Cool car! Those antennas are genius! I never would have thought of doing them that way! Great paint job! Sam
Shardik Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Now THAT IS COOL ! That's a very nice technique that would be easy to overdo, but you displayed perfectly suitable restraint. I love the creative touch with the antennas also.
Dr. Cranky Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 I keep coming back for a second and third look, the color and the effect is just right. This is one of my favorite of your models, Jim.
Bartster Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Wow! Your builds are getting trickier each time out! Wild interior & l love the Magenta, it really sends this one over the top! l'd like to try water bourne(?) flames sometime. ls it the same basic process? The antennas rock! Very creative touch. I really like the diversity of your builds. Never "stuck" in one genre. Except the SHINY of course, but that's cool! Bart.Wow! Your builds are getting trickier each time out!

crazyjim Posted September 16, 2012 Author Posted September 16, 2012 I am really digging the color and the antannas. Nice work man Thanks Jerred. The antennas are trick - they're pins. LOOKS GREAT!!! Love the Paint & Details... Not quite what you do, Ira, but thank you. Really like what you did with those antennas. Great job all around. Thanks, Johnny. Like I said, the antennas are just pins.
crazyjim Posted September 16, 2012 Author Posted September 16, 2012 Very nice build Jim. You did an excellent job on the water spots, some of the best I've seen. I'm not a fan of pink but that color is beautiful. I'm also lovin them antannas, that was a nice touch. It's magenta, Jason. I thought the color would stand out more for a custom. Glad you like the water spots.
