Custom Classics

[lcz128]

I've been working slowly on a couple of small projects extremely slowly...

Here are two- Henkei Kup and Henkei Stepper! (soon to come will be Windcharger )


Work-In-Progress:


With Stepper's top of the car I found some bloody dust stuck on it and so I sanded and polished up until the point it was as shiney as the last one


Kup:
When I was painting Kup - I was a bit impatient and was messing with him before the clear coat completely dried - so I decided to use it to my advantage - and made him all ding'ed up also added rust to some spots


I also added a wash of black ink to his mouth - it just makes so much of a difference to the head


Stepper:
I am really happy with how his paint turned out except right at the end I discover paint scraping where the doors open - d'oh - fixable but I won't bother for now -_-;; I still have a it more to touch up for him I think - but I am mostly done - I don't really want to do the whole firey emblem on the hood but I haven't really decided :\ Opinions? At must I might use the chrome sheets to make a flame on the hood and that's it :\ Either way, My Jazz has now become Stepper, and when I get my United Jazz, that'll be Jazz on my shelf



So yeah - comments opinions ideas are all appreciated

Wow Man!

Those are some great customs dude and I'm really digging the scratches and dings to Kup and you're right, the black wash over the mouth really does help the overall look of his face.
Stepper looks really awesome too and IMO, I reckon you should do the proper flames lcz128 - It'll really seal the deal with him and make him stand out really nicely but in a good way.

awesome as always love Stepper and the gold chrome

maybe instead of having flames on his hood have some small ones on the front guard and have some embers down the rest if the car slowly fading out, something to break up the black

or maybe some scaliops like these

How did you do gold chrome?

Wowsers, thanks for sharing these photos, lcz128! Those are both highly impressive pieces! You've obviously mastered the application of the gold/silver leaf, and its addition certainly 'Henkeifies' them beautifully.

What's the next step matey? Are there more customs in the pipeline? Keep up the great work!

Well, those are friggin' beautiful. It almost justifies ruining a perfectly good Jazz. Almost.

Nice work! The paint apps look very good.

Nice work on the paints, scuffed up Kup looks like he's been parking in a Westfields!
