EDIT


Here is some more pics and a little about how I did this one
this is only my 3rd time painting these body's so it is a learning proccess for me. the pictures don't quite justify the way it looks in real life, but they also hide mistakes (these are the best shots not the worst :) )

there are some more pictures in my gallery here https://www.hpisavageforum.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=2233

On this body I used Jackal paint transfers here is a link http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLHS7&P=ML

I also used this precut mask (or parts of it) http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXAKD4&P=7 I think this is the one I used anyway, I cut out parts I needed from it.

The paint I used is spaz stix paint, rootbeer, gold, orange and black.

this was my first try to get a flame look just by blending and using different thiknesses of paint.

Nice Wister Very Nice. Hey Do Ya Mind If I Send You A Body To Paint For Me? Lol Sweet Job Bud
 
Wister that is awesome. The whole scheme reminds of something you would have seen on the side of a 1975 conversion van !! I love the reaper !!!
 
Impressive wister.. most impressive...
When are you gonna start giving painting lessons?
 
transfers are aright, i heard they crack under the paint b ut that was years ago they prolly fixed that problem, never used them myself though so i couldnt tell ya

good paint job tho next time buy some liquid mask and paint the guy by urself without any transfers :D always funt o do intricate paint jobs just takes forever
 
I added a little about what I used on this body and a couple more pics in the first post, there is also a link to my gallery where there are a few more pics too.


The transfer is very fradgile, at least before you get the paint over it, I don't know how well it will hold up but we will see.
 
I don't know, I do kind of enjoy painting them if I want to keep doing it I will have st sell them sometime I guess (that is if I paint them faster than I tear them up... Problem there is, and I know I should but I hardly ever put a body on while running it.
