my craziest paint job was an accident

a heavily modded 1/24 semi as pro mod

body mods were styrene/stop putty and red primer.

put down an (I think) burgendy coat, and then 2nd coat was an orange candy metalic

I painted 1/3 and it blew up...I stared at it in disguist

came back in 20 minutes, and it looked better, so..WTH, I finished the orange top coat

Meet "Magma"   
powered by a double blown, dual turbo'd (from a locomotive) v 12 detroit




I have a slot car chassis made for it,
powered tandums on  moving paired axles
tires are the tail wheel for large RC planes

just not finished (like so many other projects)

Ok, here it is.


I would leave it as is, and name it "Creamsicle". Takes me back to the days of the "Good Humor Icecream Truck".

If I had to take a guess, you've been dabbling in the dark arts of silicone.  Looks cool!


  • I still need to sand the wheels. I'm actually still a dirty Graphite user. I have not made the jump to silicone yet. — JBlotner42
  • interesting, the outer coat crackling like that made me think there was an adhesion problem. — X2Whiskey
  • That's correct, it is, but I blame it on my paint and the humidity. I paint in my garage which is "cliamte controled", meaning what ever temp it is out side it isthe temp in side as well..... — JBlotner42
