Another Gmaxx is born

Et voila:















Didnt turn out anything like the little image I had in my brain, but Im happy enough with it. I kinda made the mistake of thinking these acrylic paints would handle much like normal acrylics, but saddly not (they dry too quickly, and dont seem to have the same covering power). I also kinda screwed up the blending abit- should have bought a jar of black too in order t make the dark blue paint fade away, rather than being a clear divide between the black and dark blue as it tails off.

Overall, an enjoyable experience, but I understand why guys use airbrushes and stencils, and why they charge so much for the more intricate designs.

I'm normally not a fan of the car bodies on a truck but I think it looks quite good on your Gmaxx actually and i think you've just invented the 'true jeans' effect

LOL.

New fad on the RCM boards: paint your shells to look like jeans!
