Default New appreciation for what you guys do!

I love checking out the fantastic paint jobs posted on this forum. Unbelievable amount of talent. The problem is, you all have me believing "I can do that!" Yeah well tonight was my first experience cutting out a design in liquid mask.....I have officially decided to stick with building and racing. How you guys are able to do what you do, as fast as you do it, is beyond my comprehension. Tonight I had a four way battle going on between my hand, my brain, the knife, and a minty fresh SC10 body covered in liquid mask and, I'm not sure who won.

Hats off to all you guys, tonight was a very humbling experience, and I haven't even started the hard part yet!

oh the hardest part is done! The cutting is the toughest for me. just remember your not getting paid so your not losing money. Just chill out and take your time. if things start going badly stop and try again later.

Don't give up yet, the first couple are the toughest, but it gets a little easier each time.
After a while you'll be able to knock out 25 a day....so i'm told.

I myself have painted 30 or so bodies now and still watch each thread with amazement as to the skills these guys have, I still work to the KISS method ( Keep It Simple Savage ) but little ideas come from looking at all the master pieces.
