Paint By The Chef

[The Chef]

Been at it again. Painted a shell for fun/practice and put it on Ebay and it sold and was asked to match a truggy shell to it. Here we go!

Been really busy at work as always so not had too much time to be about.

[jonmiller]

Nice1 Kristan. Good to see you adding some depth to the stencil skull and that yer managing to make some time to paint

[eyeayen]

So much detail !

Fav bit - pink pin stripes, sets everything else off perfectly, very good mate, looks like you're improving with each one !

[gainsy]

Excellent work :thumbsup:
Looks like you have put all the best bits from previous shells & combined them into these great shells :D

[The Chef]

Thank you guys I'm in enjoying it more with each one. Confidence and understanding the paint and pressures with each shell make it more enjoyable and I think that is coming through in the end result.
👍

Heres my agama with the new shell mounted up. Kristian has done an excellent job of this hes getting better all the time and i think it shows in the work he is producing. good job mate.

[The Chef]

Thank you for the picture James. I'm glad your happy it was probably my most trying shell yet. I was very pleased with the result. See you soon.

[coleman758]

Looksing good, Like the Dr. Upgrade shell!

[eyeayen]

SOrry thought I'd commented on this Chef Dude, looks cool, very neat !

[The Chef]

Thank you ian. Will you be at Torch on Sunday?

[eyeayen]

I'm not sure at the minute mate, I was going to come and watch but now I don't think it's as likely...

[The Chef]

That's a shame. I need a week off to catch up with all my painting.

[The Chef]

Really good to meet you Sunday, it is always nice to put a face to a name.

[The Chef]

A pair for today,

[eyeayen]

Really good to meet you Sunday, it is always nice to put a face to a name.

Likewise, you looked like you were doing well on track too :thumbsup:

Good colours on these and getting the design to work across 2 different shell shapes !

[focusmad]

Cheers chris

[The Chef]

Thank you for the pictures Chris. I'm glad you like it.

[coleman758]

I like your paint man!

The only thing I would say, use less "Techniques"
Per shell, Simple always looks better!

When I was in Uni first thing we was taugh:

KISS... Keep it Simple Stupid!

[eyeayen]

Looking good dude.

I've got to agree with the above comment to an extent but your work has got simpler since you started and as you know I think it looks better for it. That said sometimes it's not the painter, some customers do want everything and won't be told in which case as it's our job we just have to do.

Keep up the god work fella, hope you're getting through them all okay :)

[The Chef]

Yes I'm getting through the back log. The wife is moaning work all day and paint nearly every night. No Internet at the makes uploading tricky but greatful to happy customers for the piccys. One more to do tonight. Then the back log is done and I can do a couple for myself.

[U1timate PigDog]

+1 on the above, but this is clearly a nicely done body, the colours I really like and the design is good too, keep up the good work!! :thumbsup:

[The Chef]

My new colours.
