My paint jobs

[Brandon_1999]

Hey guys and gals, i havent posted here in a while but ive been busy practicing and trying to get better at painting. I mainly do R/C bodies but i am gonna give a hockey helmet a try in the new yr. Heres some of my recent work. Please critisize it. I always wanna know how to do things better or go about making myself a better painter. Most of my stuff is self tought bc im the only painter in the family.

Do you have to paint those from the inside out? They are superb.
Thanks. Brad

[Brandon_1999]

thanx brad. yep paint is all on the inside so all designs r painted in reverse. hard at first not so bad once ur used to it.

[ArtWorld]

Sounds like it would mess with my mind a lot. They are very cool though. Great job.

Cool effect on those. As far as insight I don't know what you could do to make them better. I think they look great. On top of that I can't think in reverse so well.

i also use to back with mostly silver then depending on what the customer wanted the interior to look like i would back it up in that color on top of the silver i use faskolor when working on the bodies its like the createx of plexan in my opinion also i prefer waterbase at this point

Nice work Brandon. Wipe the marker off the outside with rubbing acohol and paper towel. I use 99% it comes right off with no hassle.
