Several jobs in the paintshop at the mo and one is this pearl orange, 2 clr flip VRod Screamin Eagle. Worked on the first coat of flames and smoke. I have to match/work the colours to fit with the beautiful, hand-crafted leather seat which has been an inspiration for this colour scheme.
Paint is Rage, Etac, House of Kolor bases and KK's and today we laid a layer of clear to lock it down befoe flatting tomorrow and painting on the screamin eagles and then more flame details plus the Harley Logo. |

More pics of this later in the week as I progress through the artwork on all the panels ~ Beej
Tuesday 11th March: Today's work and got stuck into the eagle on one side of the VRod and then spent what seemed hours wrestling with Dave's PC trying to get the darn plotter to work for the logo's. Grrrr! Technology eh!

Thurs March 13th Eagles finished and more flame work completed on other parts. Cut my stencil on the Craft Robo avalable to buy here on our website if you're interested in getting a very cool desktop plotter for graphics like this. It's an amazing little tool and cuts the Ultra Mask better than some expensive plotters I've had in the past!!) The detail it plots is outstanding for such a cheap machine and you have a pen attatchment too so you can plot out a test drawing first (like mine above with the small eagle and text) allowing for positioning and measuring tweaks b4 final cut on masking material.
More later in the week folks . . Beej |

STo get the Harley Davidson to appear straight along the curved tank, you have to make the stencil first curved the opposite way - which is cool! I went for 3-4 options before settling on the first one, each with a few mm more curve. Artwork was done in Adobe Illustrator and then exported as 400dpi hi-res JPEG's in RGB format. You can then import these directly into RoboCutter software and complete an 'Auto Trace' to get perfect artwork to cut. |
