Terrible work, really is very poor.

You got anything else you will be adding to it, or is that the design complete now?

i just cant ddecide on whether i should put motif's inside the bubble or not

This is the kind of thing that adds the time and expense to paintwork... these things dont just happen lol

i swear when i close my eyes all i can see it dots lol

so farnive gone through 4 brand new swan morton blades JUST cutting out these darn cirles:

When you look at the bubbles they almost look like planets, and if you think of it in such a sense, it would appear as if she's holding the universe in her hands or that the world is her oyster

I'm very impressed so far mate, keep it up

Those bubbles look awesome, proper talent :eek:

Looks great.. I have started airbrushing this week

,been a paintsprayer for years and always wanted to try airbrushing but never got around to it till now .

Any particular reason you have the light/highlight coming from underneath the bubbles on the other side compared to the first side (where the light source is from above) or is that just artistic license,or will there be some feature below ?

Very cool seeing your progress shots -I'm sure you,ll girlfriend will love it !

Im glad you noticed !
theres bno particular reason, but it was entirly intentional ( sp sp ??)
call it artistic license if you want though.
latest pics:

my next idea was to incorperatye lauras ( my girlfriend) tattoos into the design. luckly i still have the original design to hand so i was able to copy ist exactly.

she has 8 outlines on her stomach of 5 pointed stars. these kinda things look good blended in with airbrushing. so here goes.

Fierst of all i will point out that it rerally did atke more than an hour just to mask these things off !! - and i ran out of 1/16th fine line tape so had to make my own !

R B Customs · 29 Aug 2006 at 20:31

The case is almost finsihed and to be perfectly honest... i absolutly LOVE IT !
i want to keep it lol !

shoudl eb in to clearcoat by the end of the week... the way things are going

Cool - yeah I can imagine how long it took ! ,from my little play at a bit of stenciling it takes a lot longer than I thought it would.
