Darren B Posted June 20, 2017 Author Posted June 20, 2017 was at hobby lobby yesterday getting some supplies and took another look in the jewelry isle and came across this to add to it. Not sure if I will be updating soon but want to get back to this one some time.
Darren B Posted February 23, 2018 Author Posted February 23, 2018 Sorry about the orientation of the photos. my new iphone does not let me rotate, I will try to get this figured out but back on this one now to try to finish it for the fair in September.....
David G. Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Glad to see this one back on deck Darren! Looks Great! David G.
mustang1989 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 This thing just keeps getting better and better Darren!
Darren B Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 Thanks guys, I am being driven to finish due to being able to enter something in our state fair. I have not in over two years, or for that matter a model show in my area for even longer. I still want to finish the big rat rod pete, but this one is 75% done. I just need a little push to get over the finish line.....
Tony N Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Darren The New Mexico state fair still has a model car display, Wow thats where I got the bug to building model cars when I was a kid in the 60's. There must have been over a hundred model cars there behind the glass neat. Tony

For the last several years thou, the amount of vehicles has dwindled significantly. They are lucky to go past 50 entries. I think two years ago they did hit 75.
Darren B Posted February 26, 2018 Author Posted February 26, 2018 a little bit more detail around the mummy.
Darren B Posted March 12, 2018 Author Posted March 12, 2018 I have finally decided on a color, DeJaBlue by testors one coat lacquer.
Darren B Posted March 12, 2018 Author Posted March 12, 2018 also playing around with some kind of hand drawn artwork for the paint job as well.
Chariots of Fire Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 That last artwork is excellent! How will you finalize it?

That is what I have to work out now. Thinking of using a fine point sharpie to outline it then color it in like line art. The second thought I have it to go over it in sharpie then using a translucent candy paint over it would be like a ghost pattern. Not to sure but am redrawing the image on spoons to try out each idea. Would look awesome to airbrush it like a mural but my air brushing skills are not good enough for that yet.

One of the reasons it has set for a year or two trying to come up with an awesome paint job that is more than just one color.
Darren B Posted March 26, 2018 Author Posted March 26, 2018 (sorry about the rotated pic, still can not figure out how to fix this on my new phone) Just found these this weekend, Going back this coming weekend for a few more for this build.
Rider Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 The work and creativity is spectacular, I really dig this. What is the pink/flesh coloured material you have been using/shaping? It looks like sculpting foam.

You can get some At www.signfoam.com. I got them as samples. A little goes a long way.
