Default 1st Airbrushed Body

Here's my new body. This is the first time I've ever used an airbrush to do a body, so I'm very happy with it. It's a B4 Buggy with the JConcepts Illuzion body. It's also my first time doing a checkerboard pattern, which is kind of a PITA to mask, but I like how it turned out for a first timer.

Let me know what you guys think...

Yup, I look back at my basic rattle can jobs and all the way through and I love each subsequent one even better. I like the JC body. It was fiarly easy to mask and paint. The only problem I had with it are the body cut lines are a little too shallow to see once everything is painted and the mask is peeled. I think I might score the outside next time before I paint to make it slightly easier.

THANKS GUYS!

I appreciate the input. I can't wait to do my next one. Now that I see how easy it can be to use an airbrush, I think I'm going to really enjoy getting into more complicated things.

At first it's kind of intimidating, but once you let go and let your creative side start working, it's uber fun...lol

I can agree. I bought an Iwata airbrush b/c I want to SOOO bad...but I decided to return it b/c it's just difficult to "get going."
