Re: Vintage AE's airbrush experience
i might be wrong, but i think the black outline on brian's body, between the white and blue, is just sharpie marker on the outside.

That would make my life a lot easier. IMO, it would look a lot nicer if it was painted though.scr8p wrote:i might be wrong, but i think the black outline on brian's body, between the white and blue, is just sharpie marker on the outside.

Re: Vintage AE's airbrush experience
I going to try and get it as close to the box art as I can. I've been looking at the reflections off the body and notice there is not relief of ink off the body in the reflected areas, so a sharpie wasn't used on the box art car. I'm not sure how I'm going to get such a smooth line that is consistent in thickness. Guess I better be careful with the close up shading.

Re: Vintage AE's airbrush experience
nah, it's probably paint. you could try wedging 2 xacto blades in one handle and stick something between them when you tighten it to get the width you desire. that will give you a consistant thickness throughout the stripe when you cut it out. or, lay down some 1/16" tape over top of the tape covering the white and blue area to get your outline. then cut down both sides of the 1/16 tape.

Re: Vintage AE's airbrush experience
I've considered the 2 blades idea, but I've already cut out the masking tape for the white
Funny thing is that Rod gave me 2 bodies for the same scheme. Guess I will be doing 2 blades, 1 handle for the next try
This first one will be for the runner for sure!

Re: Vintage AE's airbrush experience
Well, I ended up masking off the blue sections and cutting out the black lines in between.
This is what I had to work with after reconsidering the double blade idea
And, this is what I've got now

Re: Vintage AE's airbrush experience
I stopped by the shop today to drop off the Masami body and Matt Francois wing, but Becky said you weren't feeling well today. Hope you get some rest.

Re: Vintage AE's airbrush experience
Hope you get better soon. They had to shut a couple of schools down for a few days here it's going around so bad.
