Case Mod - In Progress Heat Blast...Final update..Christmas day 2010

I'm 15 and I hate facebook too! Join the club lol.
Back OT, I really hope the weather cooperates, want to see nice painted parts!

 

It's good to see that not all kids are addicted to face book. My eldest is almost 17 and hates it as well.

And as for the weather, I've just checked the forecast for the next few days and it doesn't look to bad, so hopefully I'll be getting some painting done and get a few updates on here.

 

I dont go near facepoop its just a bunch of old women with to much to say LOL

As for the weather here bright and sunny with a very thick frost.

 

OMG I hate it, I don't need to be given an update every time some one makes a cup of tea or takes a dump!

It's frosty here but starting to cloud up and getting really frustrating

 

Today

Today when woke up and looked out of the window I was DEPRESSED. It was frosted over and foggy. I took Dylan to school and alas I was still sad.
Then the sun came out and burned off all the fog and I was HAPPY

WooooHoooo...yeah baby... MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!

 

Right then, so the sun came out today and I've had a chance to do a bit of painting...



That's a test for the colours on an old panel. I haven't lost the plot just yet.

So 1st of all here's what I'll be using. as normal nothing particularly special, just shop bought stuff..



Because of the way the final colours will need to match up I can't take the case apart and spray every panel individually as I normally would so this means masking every thing I dont want paint on..





So thats the 1'st coat of undercoat on, 2 more and I'm there..







A couple of hours to dry and a quick rub down and it's ready for some more paint.

This what I'll be starting off with..

That's the 1'st coat going on..



and 3 coats later it looks like this... Then add quick dusting of gold metal flake..simples

 

Looking good Jeff like the colour.

Not pink then

 

Lost the other half of the update where it timed out Tell, just sorting it out now.

 

Had a great big update and it timed out...Bollocks so here we go again...

Once the purple was on and being left to dry i turned my attentions to the yellow..







yeah, thats right more fogged edges....

And now for some more...



And this is it put together. If it looks odd that might have some thing do with the fact that it's still only half a paint job..






So all in all a productive day, if it looks a little rough thats because it is. It'll be left to dry over night and then flattened back ready for the next stage...

Thanks for looking guys . Weather permitting more tomorrow

 

Looking good so far fella

 

I just need a few good days and I can pretty much get the paint work sorted after that it all gets easy.

 

It look's really nice. Purple + yellow all the way.

 

Agreed. Love the colours and those gold flakes remind me of goldschlager.

 

Thanks Fabou and dancingbear84. It's come out pretty nice even if I do say so myself. I think it works well with that yellow. The purple was metallic to start with and it looked good, I just tuned it up a bit. I do love metal flake finishes and that is the ideal base colour to use.

 

I saved up for ages. No local jobs in my area

 

Erm...What? did I miss somthing

 

Looking great. I envy. No wising my life away :s

 

LOL

Great job though Jeff, Hows that knee still giving you grief.

 

Cheers Tel / Kidmod. Hows that beasty of yours coming along Tell, ain't see any updates for a while.

The knees getting there slowly, I probably need a few more weeks off for it to totally settle, got to go back to the quakes next week. But I'm thinking I need to go back to work on Monday next week I don't get sick pay and it's to close to Christmas to be sitting around. if it was the middle of summer I could cope with another few weeks off.

Any way, the up shot is that I aim to get this project painted before I go back, weather permitting.

 

Have you had to much Fizzy pop today KidMod
He's on a mad sugar rush me thinks
