Mini Chopper demo tank

sac · 08-18-09, 12:25 PM

I was asked by a local Chopper shop to paint this mini tank so they could see what I can do......and they asked for true fire

What ever, so here it is not cleared yet, but I finished airbrushing last night around 2:30am. Not my best true fire but once it's cleared, all the candies and pearls will pop like no tomarrow, you think it's bright now

I'll get more pics when it's cleared along with a guitar I did for a client.

Lookin good there SAC. I bet it really pops after the clear.

WaffleJaw · 08-18-09, 01:11 PM

yea man that looks great!...excellent abstract work on the flames ,(thumbs up)

Im assuming you started with your dark reds and oranges first and then did the finer details on the next layer with whites and yellows?...i ask,cause Ive never attempted true flames before.

but well done!

sac · 08-18-09, 01:25 PM

Yeah, there's is about 12 steps/colors into it. Once it's cleared and in the sun, you'll see all the different colors pop. Plus I mix in a few pearls in my fire for an extra pop in the sun. Just remember... dark to light, loose to tight

Awesome job sac! I love true fire paint!

1/4 stick · 08-18-09, 02:41 PM

It just needs a flamming bass on each side of the tank. hehehehe...

sac · 08-18-09, 02:53 PM

At first I thought you meant Bass guitar. LOL

You know what.....you just gave me a great idea. Thanks!

Yeah, but where is the skull with a Nazi helmet and lightning shooting out of its eyes? I'm just going to assume you're going to add that later.

Especially if they're fighting over a bass. Although that doesn't really figure into the whole America vs Dirty Commies theme.

Yeah, as far as flames go, nuthin beats true fire

66KingFisher · 08-18-09, 09:34 PM

Maybe I should paint some real fire on a black crankbait??....its been painted in on most everything else...lol.

And you guys just leave the flamin largemouth idea alone.....I've already got dibs on that design and i'm just waiting for the right canvas.

Somebody ask for True fire on a bassboat?.....

sac · 08-19-09, 10:43 AM

We should have a flaming LM Bass contest between you and me 66 for fun. LOL Or just some flaming crankbaits.

I was think of true fire on my Jon Boat, but we'll see.

66KingFisher · 08-20-09, 02:40 AM

Naw....i've had my fill of friendly contests on airbrushing sites long ago.....thanks but no thanks...got nuthin to prove anymore...not even for fun....lol.

I will be flaming a crankbait at some point....and the flamin bass idea has been bouncin around inside my head for quite some time now....just waitin for the right canvas....if it never comes along I might break down and just paint a panel to hang on the wall for myself.

...even thought about settin fire to my bps extreme reel.

) I started some cranks last night though

Well, got it cleared last night, no pics in the sun though
