Here is a killer VW Drag Bus done with a combination of flames and colors which cant be matched! First run mask designs plus loose mask airbrushed ghost flames! This is a ONE OF ONE creation with candy and pearl colors faded together seamlessly. The multilayer flames ghost out and the candy.fade flames glow with color.

First flame layer on Thunder buses-wip
FINALLY!!
GEEZ…didnt think I was ever gonna get a chance to work on these again!
Between health issues and car stranding me then subsequent diagnosis/repair that have been plaguing me recently…I just did not know if I would make headway on these again. But here is a rare shot of the first flame licks. Now keep in mind, everything under the masked areas will be black. Ive lightly sprayed a custom pearl blue over the top then added first flames in custom medium metallic grey. Next layer will be brighter silver or chrome. Then I’ll unmask and coat with candy blue…or thats the plan right now.
Have to work in the wee hours because of the heat here lately too. But..thats the least of the hurdles of late.
Anyway..enough whining..lol..more painting!
Hope to have these and more done this week..we will see!

Stretched Merc..in process..post clear stage!
Here’s a peek at the stretched merc coming up. This is post clear stage as all moving panels had to be removed or risk bridging gaps…which is not a good thing! So now…the task of sanding/polishing begins. Followed by assembly. Im looking at several days before its done…but…with any luck and no sand thru incidents…she will be ready sometime, late, this coming weekend. Stay tuned!!

Process Shots : Blue Blazes FIRE!!
How about a rare peek at my Blue Blazes FIRE technique??
STEP 1 ~ loose fire added and coated with candy blue.






More layers will be added (usually about 5 to 6 total} after this. Each getting more and more defined than the previous layers. The final two layers should be adding a lot less new licks, but rather add to existing licks. Thise should be small areas where the fire would be the most “hot” if it were really burning. In the last couple layers, remember the old saying “Less..is MORE.”
