Thanks everyone. I know this type of paint job isn't everyone's taste, but you can take the idea into building 60's and 70's customs, and even take the taping method into doing flames and scallops. Just a thought. But it is fun to do none the less!

All I can say is wow!!!!!!

As usual, you guys make me want to throw myself through a window. I thought I was being clever wiring up an engine and building some door hinges. When I see the talent on this forum, I don't know whether to throw my hands in the air and give it all away, or knuckle down and try to replicate what I see.

This paintwork is some awe-inspiring stuff. I have to give it a go, but I'll never embarrass myself by posting my results, lol.

the (type) of paint job doesn't take away from the talent it takes to do it ! I have painted 1-1 cars my whole life, a few flame jobs and such, there is nothing easy about it, but it does take a good eye and patients speaking from years of experience, I have yet to do a custom paint job on a model, I will probably try to do some thing cool on my current project, beautiful work Chris, keep at it bro!!

[chris_thobe]

Thanks alot man! I have peinted several 1:1's too, but nothing like this. Its definitely tedious!

Thats a huge understatement.

WOW , thats the best I can come up with.

[LacrosseBoss]

this is what my paint jobs want to be when they grow up. Absolutely incredible work. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for the tutorials.

This came out very nice! Im digging the new Pegasus "Supremes", good fit for the build.

[chris_thobe]

Thanks alot guys. I am happy with it. I got some BMF and clear on it tonight. I am looking foreward to doing some more Larry Watson inspired customs this year.

What brand of tape are you using? I have cut tamiya and regular blue scotch tape thin like you instructed,but it wrinkles and I'm almost sure paint will bleed through. Your paint work is just gorgeous,hopefully I can get mine half as good as yours.

[jbwelda]

i bow down before you sir. that is incredible work that i can only wish to be a mere shadow of! just incredible!

that tangerine looks good enough to eat!

[Mooneyzs]

I am really digging that Scallop paint job. Very nice job on it.
