I have four of these lying around for eventual custom work. So I got some inspiration from a friend who sent me a pic of his van that's in rough condition but with a very nice flame job. Hence this piece. I'm pretty happy with it. The flames were airbrushed with Tamiya paint using a mask. I hate using the airbrush but the results are always awesome. LMKWYT

Nice job. :)

Very cool~

Looks great! I like the weathered look! I'm curious why you hate using the airbrush though, being new at it myself. I do like the results!

Looks great. That's one of my favorite castings!

That looks GREAT.

I would LOVE to be able to do flames

Bob, I hate the mess of cleaning and setting up mask etc, etc, etc... I'm just darn lazy but I love the results.

Looks great, I like the looks of it ...Rustic look

Gerry-
The flames came out awesome. Did you use a dry brush for the rusting effect? that came out very cool as well.

Hey John, I used extremely diluted artist oil paint. I applied it in a horizontal fashion with a line brush and then dragged it down with a large dry brush.

Great idea - it came out super. Thanx...

The rust staining comming down off the drip rail is PERFECT!!!
