Darren B Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Haven't done much to the truck since the hydro plumbing, been working on a back drop for the warrior, I have a bunch of 3d sign foam and decided this truck needed a diorama, so this is the back of the diorama been carving the design in to the foam, more to come.

David G. Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Just take a break Darren- this is a hobby, not a job. When I get a little burned-out, I sometimes find that cleaning and straightening my work area helps to break the slump. And if it doesn't, at least I've put my toys away until I'm ready to play again. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren B Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Thanks James, finally decided on a color and its probably not going to excite a lot of people but with all the going on with the foamwork I labored for weeks over what to do for graphics on the truck but felt that it would push it over the gaudy ledge and take a way from the over all look, I am going rootbeer one coat testors lacquer (since it has a great sparkle effect in the light) with a few little aztec type subtle graphics on the hood and fenders and some pinstriping. It should really help to make the foam work pop, Pics to come soon....... Edited July 24, 2014 by Darren B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) all parts got the paint today, just need a few days to gas out then start the clear coat sanding stages its, never thought i would make it this far!!!

Darren B Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 another little update, finally figured out what to use for the aquarium water, totally dry and has enough bubbles in it to be convincing, only problem is no fish, that is my next task in the future to figure out what will work for fish!!!

Darren B Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) A little sneak peak of the paint color, this is the hood with a graphic that I cut out of a lowrider magazine that I glued to the hood and will smooth out with clear coat to act as a mural. It matches the rootbeer rather well.. Edited July 28, 2014 by Darren B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
