"Something Bright Please"

[Rob Fitzgerald]

I had a customer ask for a shell this week with the only instructions being to do "Something Bright Please".

This will teach him

Again I still can't seem to photograph fluros properly yet - this is MUCH brighter in real life.

Sorry, I didnt repond to your other one! Fluo is hard to be honest rob - you either photograph it so you can see it - in which case it looks dull and not fluorescent. Or you photograph it and it is all blown out.



Nice shell by the way - we need some tips from you painters!!!

Nice job, definately could of been brighter though... fluro green fade on the green, heehee....

Need a good light source for taking pics of fluro, the only down side, is if you use a flash, it brightens it all up, not just the fluro.

Nice work rob, Do you cut your own masks or used pre cut ones?

[jimmy]

What sorta knife do you guys use to cut on the shell? (not cut the shell out, cut masking whilst on the shell) because I find it hard to manouver the swann morton scalpel with accuracy.

Hi Terry

I recently bought a vinyl cutter (ouch expensive) and design the masks on the PC. All the lettering is done on the PC and then masks cut and the logos etc painted on.

This was my first try with Faskolor - my tip is DON'T let this stuff dry in the brush for even one minute

PS - I loved the James Bond shell in this month's RRCi Terry

Just as a quickie i noticed this , this morn for those that havnt got or cant afford a dremel.

Argos have got this reduced from £60 down to £20 and looks like a good alternative ! + it comes in a case with tools.
