Nice work, Lyle and Macca.
Heres the only one ive finished for a while. Did this for the model group build off here.

 

I'm still workin' on my Merc street freak, but don't have any fresh pics yet. I'll show a couple pics of my entries into the last Build-Off we just completed here on the HAMB.

Lyle. How did you that paint on your Ford!!??

 

"Smoking" the paint - after the color coat is dry, light the end of a piece of styrene sprue (DO THIS OUTSIDE!!!!)and hold the burning sprue about 12 inches under the car body. Move the smoking sprue around in a random, erratic motion until you have enough of the black soot on the paint to make the design that you want. EXTINGUISH the styrene sprue. Immediately spray clear over the "smoked" paint. Let it dry normally.
DON'T DO THIS INDOORS or you will have black soot floating through the air all over the room.
In 1959, when I was 10, I painted my bike white and smoked the paint. My grandfather gave me hell for "wrecking" my bicycle and my grandmother gave me hell for playing with matches. Didn't matter - I had the coolest bike around !!!

 

Here's a few ****py shots of some in progress and finished.

 

Nice stuff. You too Lyle, Kiwi, Macca, and 46stude!

 

Thanks for a great story Lyle!!! I might try your painting method some day...outside.
