[rcjunky3]

yeah its to bad he did some people wrong and stopped posting from what i saw and the three i bought from him he clearly would have the market on the type of painting he did in this forum not just true flames either.

Yeah, ftr does good work... Too bad he left the forum after I paid him $150 bucks for a grappler body, that I never did receive... That POS needs to pay up or send me my F@&#ing body. I know that he lives, or used to live in Boise Idaho, which happens to be my old stomping ground. I just so happen to be going back their in June... Hope to be able to find him.:x

sent you a pm

i tried some fire from what i`ve seen
i made stencil like seen on web from plastic and used tamiya colors and badger 360 airbrush
its not the best result but its only first try

hey hope you dont mind some constructive critisism

you got the colors down for your red and oranges (leave the yellows and whites for when you get a lil better. trust me

when your laying down your licks, yoru red should be the backer to your orange, it shouldnt have any hard stencil edges, you can use your stencil to get the shape but go back over your line a couple times and build up some nice puffy whispy cloud like shapes

the red in the fire is the particals burning off and expaning at the final stages. your red should represent this in the way i just showed you.

the orange is wear you want to start to define your shapes and start building up the color and the heat. do this by using your stencil slightly above the surface yoru spraying you wont get a hard crisp egde but the shape and the curve of the fire lick will still be visible. but you wont have the sharp edge.

if your just starting out, you can do your reds with the stencil just a little aboce and your and lay your stencil flat on the surface when spraying orange's

this all might be a little complex, so i'll give you some of the best advice i can think of for the newbs to fire

1 dont try to paint fire till you've done alot of other work and are confident in your skills

2. (this is the good one) Build your seperate licks like a pyramid of color, when you spray on the rc body you do it in reverse so its the tippy top of the pyramid first (white) then work your way down yellow-orange-red then finally, if your spraying real mike lavalle fire, purple/burgandy would be the absalute base of the pyramid. and if you know how to portray depth, you'll understand that the point will be sharp and crisp (holding your stencil to the surface) and the base will have litterally no shape at all (just srpaying whispy puffy clouds) b/c your focused on the tip

basically im just explaining in a very complicated way how to match the color shapes of the fire. matching the stencil curves and building depth and color gradiation



pheww! ok i hope i didnt confuse you, if you want more adivce re read that cfx and search through my posts here on rcc in he paint forum

I was one of the lucky ones with JJ (ftr). He painted up an incredible looking set of real fire panels for a tuber of mine. I think if he made amends, he'd still have a lot of business here.

Great how-to extreme. Very detailed. My preference is still to pay someone else to do it !
