WoW guys , I'm so happy you like my job

Pete my friend, yes I draw the girl with pencils/ with different softnesshardness/ by free hand, because the bonnet is too small to use my airbrushes - 50x70 mm. So free hand . . . hahahaha
Now countinue with the interior which is ready and mounted to the frame. For tail lights I choose 3-color glass-protection. The front grill is ready too:










Cheers fellas

Chav looking superb buddy. After seeing your build I felt inspired today to start mine. I just hope mine can come anywhere near close to yours I will be happy.
I have the engine done and the running gear. It is a really nice kit buddy.

Have those body panels been polished/glossed yet? The metallic colour still looks very grainy to me.

Hi fellas
Pete my friend, I'll be very happy to see yours F350 photos
Timothy, the metallic gray is polished and glossed.
The metallic parts in paint are too big maybe, and looks grainy

Superb Chav.
Maybe we are seeing grainy paint due to the flash in the pictures. Try some pictures without flash and post them.The nose art looks fantastic.

Really great reg-plate ain't it, Pete
Now for the nose-art, I used koh-i-noor pencils with B,3B and 8B softness. Also for the light ares - soft/dry koh-i-noor pastels. I drawn the girl by free hand, without using my airbrushes, because the bonnet itself is too small - 50x70mm.
When the pic was ready, I sealed it with a few layers of tamiya gloss clear, and between every layer, polished with 3M compound
It is not very easy to create something like this without using decals but I think it's not looking bad at all
I'm glad you like my work fellas This evening I'll countinue with the rims and tires/very bad imitation of Continental tires

Cheers guys

You drew that free hand! That's impressive.

The plate is cool, but I don't think it would pass the Texas DMV.
