Default work in progress

well i decided to put on big boy pants. ive been working on this body a ton. its going on my crawler, i have over 12 hours of work in this so far and it still isnt even close. no stickers, no vinyl. i took this pic to show its all hand done. the logo looks a little messed up because its a curved body. it should look better once done. its pretty cool i put the elbow and arm along the windshield and i have the hand hanging down in the windshield


its a logo from a beer company that i love.

just put liquid masking film on the inside of the body, then i printed out a picture of the logo. the just days cutting a bunch of super close lines. i know a bunch of them will end up messed up but it should end up an ok paint job in the end.

heres a pic of one of the sides

So did you print the logo backward and then trace it from the inside?

Looks awesome

Ive been wanting to try that brew but, never have what can you compare it to taste wise?

yes i had to print it backwards as well as the wording to get it to turn out the correct direction.
as far as the taste of the brew. i would say it is something like combination of rogue dead guy ale and sierra nevada. it takes the full flavor of the dead guy but more of the fruit up and less bite of the sierra nevada. yes im alcoholic at 26

Or and NICE knife work on the details, that will be a SWEET body
