Custom Painted - Mass Exportation
 
Here's some bodies I recently released in the past few days for those of you who haven't seen em yet, here they be:

Here's my first flame job.
I used liquid mask and painted completely backwards, starting with white first, moving to yellow, red, then the metallic blue.
I like how it turned out, the flames look more realistic.
As always, pictures never quite seem to do the ride justice, but here's the new hotness:

This next S-2000 (you know I can't stay away) was built for the track:

You know, I'm actually starting to like some of these sport bodies, the colored transparency kinda sets off the right paint job.
The windows make me think of a ricer kiddie car.
oh yea, this is spray paint.
coat of white.
coat of metallic blue.
coat of dark metallic blue.
detail painting.
clear coated.

nice Cabo! the purple headlights make it truly pimped.

You should make a flamed car out of a yellow or orange MS sport

Let the flames stay the car color & paint the rest black

crazydave 05-28-2003 10:14 AM

Yeah, that purple works nice. I had an orange one, and I don't really care for colors that go with orange. after I painted it, I kinda liked it because it reminded me of an old Matchbox car w/ orange windows, but really it kinda sucked.

I tried a frosted one too, and I didn't really care for the way that came out as well, but that purple looks alright. I the blue ones might come out kinda snazzy too. Red is not realy my color, but that could be cool, because you could paint it a red type color, and make it look sporty, or paint black, and with the red that would give it like a goth look.

Hmmm, maybe I will get another sport.

Lovely Cabo!

dave-
I agree about the red translucent w/ the black, it could look pretty EVIL... muwahahaha *cough, cough*:D

blind 05-28-2003 07:33 PM

cabo, would you consider selling one of your truck bodies to me?

or make me one?

nrmcj 05-28-2003 08:45 PM

ohhhhhhh red and black... **gurgle**.... mmmmmm.....

lookin good..! i like the way you do that fading thingy... any chance we can see a purple to red? i'd buy :D

nghts 05-28-2003 09:26 PM

Hey cabo have yo noticed on the s2000 body that the left tailight has a smaller gap between the two lights than the right? This may seem confussing...see if this helps you out

[ oo ] <--Left tailight
[ o o ] <---Right taillight

Murcielago659 05-28-2003 10:13 PM

What kinda paint did you use? I painted a body once and the paint started flaking off. Kind of a shame because the detail was on the same level as yours, at least I think so...

DriveWRX 05-29-2003 08:12 AM

Dang Nice CaboWabo!

Especially like the Sport with the purple windows.
And all your trucks kick serious butt!

Creative, very creative... ;)

vtheo 05-29-2003 01:45 PM

slick, i love the first s2k, and the truck is awesome, you should try doing on a zip, a full size bed would be awesome, maybe even a club cab

CaboWabo 05-29-2003 04:47 PM

thanks pimps.;)

You guys got some great ideas, I'll have to try some sometime!

I might be able to be convinced to make and sell one, only problem is once I get done, I usually don't wanna give it up as I get better with every job (or at least that's the goal :p )

if you feel up for a challenge on such a small body, try and copy this body from my 1/18th scale hpi micro rs4...I'd love to have a mini-me of this, as this is a mini-me of my T-maxx, and the t-maxx is a mini-me of my full size truck...

I think that Cabo's using Tamaya <sp? Spray paint.. for these.. What kind did you use?

Where at in STL are you? I am from there, and Cabo still lives there.. It's a cool city in the summer, but the winter sucks it..

Is the user name cuz you like Lamorghinis, or cuz you like bats? Murcielago means bat in spanish...lol

You can buy it at you LHS.. It's about $5 a jar..

This is what it looks like, and it works well, and gives sharp lines.. It also works with airbrushes..

enjoy.
