Default My first Air Brush job

Well took me longer then i would have liked but physically could only work a little at a time. Its all hand cut (painfully obvious in alot of places) and painted. I wish i would have outlined the Monster logo in black but forgot to. The thin pin stripes around the main stripes were a pita as much as i shake. Let me know what you all think...good and bad please.

Painted with all Faskolor paints. The Stripes are Trans green then key lime backed with black. Same for the Monster logos.

Yep, dead-straight lines are the hardest thing to cut. For a first try it looks fine. Cutting circles and lettering are also tricky to begin and get easier with practice.

The marble looks great.

A little more detail, like chrome or black bumpers, and taillights, would help break up all the silver.

Nice work, and keep on shooting!

yeah i thought a few times about cutting bumpers out to paint but for some reason i never did. I think it needed something more as well. I forgot to buy red for tail lights so that was my mistake. Circles kicked my butt lol. the pin stripes didnt make for an easy fight either lol. think i was a bit over my head on some of it

thanks for the constructive criticism, i appreciate it

its the 70 Camaro SS by Pegasus. Usually you can only get it directly from them but Amain has some in stock.
