Finally working on them again...

That's kind of a cool 'Two-Face' car.

That's kind of a cool 'Two-Face' car.

Ooh! - Now there is a cool concept if I've ever heard one. :eek::cool:

[lcz128]

haha- Unfortunately it's not going to be a two-face car...
That said, I got a bit more work done...

To my horror I didn't shake my bottle of Nero Pegaso enough and as such the pearl flake is not present... I found some uneven bits not picked up when I primed it white so I have some sanding to go back and do anyway... Ah well!
To go with this is a head I've had semi sculpted but sitting on the floor for months... just last night I added a couple of panels to it (those custom detail add on sets bought off places like HLJ)
Painted it black and I think it's coming along quite nicely!

In the meantime I also have cut off the horns off a Red Alert head to convert into the head for my white custom...

Bubbly nice:D

[gamblor916]

Looking good. I'm sure the paint will pop with the clear coat.

[Hursticon]

Certainly a sweet update indeed. :cool:

[lcz128]

Thanks guys!

I sat down for a little while at my desk today and did a bit of dremelling to fast track a custom I'd been thinking of for more than a year now - inspired by DoubleDealer...

Otherwise, I'm off to do a bit of sculpting now on that Red Alert head from my previous post :)

And Update:

Unfortunately I didn't mix my putty earlier - it's still really splooshy at present time... meaning when moulding it's kind of splooshy too!
That said I'll wait 'til it's all cured then sand it into shape more precisely. At the mo, it's pretty spot on for the mouth plate I was going for though :)

[lcz128]

I have a bit of work still to do on whitey, but the head is installed at the very least!

and slowly bubbling away...
We've gone from this Red Alert head to....(here comes the progression shot)

And now for a little bit of a sorta-turn-around...

and finally when I put in the red-clear coated eyes we get...

I really need to upgrade my phone - using my phone or my mum's camera just doesn't match up to the 4S's great photo quality... :(

Anyhow, thanks for following - also, I have fully painted white pearl the car as well as the counterpart with Nero Pegaso! pictures to come!
