Recent Build

It's been a while since I posted here. Until Recently I sort of have been "off my feed" so to speak. I saw the Scale Auto Viper white kit at a shop up in Tacoma and had a flash of inspiration for a livery. The build is fairly straight forward. I haven't done any mods other than adding weight and removing the magnet. The painting was done with alkyd lacquers for color. I used a new Iwata airbrush to create the feathered fiery front section and silver for the back. The decals were created in Adobe Photoshop and sent out to be ALPS printed. Once the paint and decals were applied clear coating was done with an automotive enamel, which cause the decals to bubble up. I stripped and repainted the car, applied the decals and clear coat. This time I had no problems with the clear.

The livery as I mentioned is based on a pun. The primary sponsor is a fictitious heat proofing company, "Vinn's Sheild"...






Yup... it's the "Vinn's Shield Viper..."
