Super User .dsaavedra. Posted October 9, 2009 Super User Posted October 9, 2009 pretty simple little pattern here, but i like it i was trying out my freehand skills with the lateral line. all i have to say is that its a good thing i cleared the body colors before painting the details, because i wiped it clean to start over several times no final clear coats yet, better pics to come.

2ManyCrankb8s Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I think an eye will make it look a little better, but nice paint work!! Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted October 10, 2009 Author Super User Posted October 10, 2009 2manycrankb8's, i agree, and i would have put an eye on it, if i had one that would fit. i only have 6mm eyes and this one needs about a 3.5-4mm eye. i should have ordered 6mm ad 4mm, instead of just 6..... : Quote
Steven Ladner Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Looks great D. I have to agree, a 3-D eye will make it look even better. Either way, nice work. Quote
bnwcrankin Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I use 3d eye's alot but painted eye's can look good to with some practice. Get you an assortment of drill bit's and use the bottoms to dip in the paint. Dont put the pupil right in the middle, trust me , it look's goofy. Line it up with the front of the eye or bottom. I like to shoot black around where the eye's are going before I put the eye's on(give's them a little depth). Then Yellow,gold or red spot then smaller black pupil. Just a little tip, look's great though. Quote
