I didn't get to kick ya in the sack, but you did do me a huge favor and I owe you big time.

Here is the case of blue balls, I mean blue bodies

As you can see, I'm trying my hand using Frisket Film. It's a huge pain in the ass trying to lay down big sections of sticky film and trying to center them and have the lines even. On the other hand it does save time on the following bodies. I'm not sure how long the templates will hold up, maybe 3-4 paintings or more if they are really taken care of. There are two more bodies to follow (different paint schemes), I will keep the updates coming.

The body will fit differently depending on which front tower is used. I used a Fiber-Lyte tower that allowed me to keep my front section of body. I just trimmed it to the inside width of the tower.

Here is the build thread http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=9310

The two in the photo are all paint with the exception of the logo, text and numbers on the gold pan body.

Go for it Reg, it's worth the money. You maybe not think it will change how your paint, but it's so much nicer using water based paints and setting up a booth indoors.

Two RC10 graphite box art bodies, check! Only 2 more bodies to go for ya Rod :D Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.

Looks great as usual!

2 bodies? CE box art for the 25 year project, and one for my queen B2 in Francis colours right. May also need you to do a B4 in Mayfield colours and few more of my queens of course. :wink: :mrgreen:

Here is a group photo of Rod's latest bodies I've painted. Rod, I'll be home from work in about a week to hand them off. I guess you should have given me one more lol.
