*finished* Escalade with flames.
Hi guys,
Havent seen me in a while huh, Anyway heres 3 shots of an escalade i recently finished, Paint is house of kolor razzberry as the red, and a combination of lime time pearl and tru blue pearl for the pinstripes on the flames, the center of the flames are tru-blue pearl over the razzberry pearl, then i mixed some house of kolor miniflake in the clear to give it a glitter, Then i sanded down the lip that holds the stock kit tire on the rims and wraped them in a lower profile tire, Hope you enjoy. Robert L.

Re: *finished* Escalade with flames.
How come you do such a great job on the whole thing, modifying the wheels and tires and masking and painting such a complex paint job, but you neglect the window rubbers and the black lining around the windsheild and the rear windows? Other than that, it's a fantastic model - a disappointing omission, though.

Thank you for pointing that out, As much as i whould love to paint my window rubber i am very scared to take a knife to my paint jobs, One wrong slip and there goes a $75 paint job. But i do take a knife to my lowriders to do chrome window trim so i guess it cant be no differnt right? Since my favorite thing to do on models is bmf (bare metal foil) and iv gotten kinda good at it, I was thinking of getting some of the black chrome bmf to do my black window rubbers. as for the black trim on the glass part, I will deffinitly give it a shot on a scrape window and practice before i go messing up a kit window. Thank you for pointing those things out, Now i have some new things to try.
Rob.

Re: *finished* Escalade with flames.
You don't have to use a knife for the black trim on the body - I don't as I have a hard time judging just how hard to press to cut the tape but not the paint. What I do is either use very thin Aizu tape or cut the tamiya tape into very thin strips (1-1.5 mm) before applying it to the model. Thin stripsof tape can be "bent" to follow the contours of the trim, and usually two strips meet at the corners of the window. After that you can either add more tape to mask the rest of the body or just brushpaint the trim - it will look good enough. Believe me, it's not hard at all. I follow roughly the same procedure for the black areas on the windows themselves, but I don't brushpaint them.
