No such thing as an early start on the art show...it starts on Thursday every week as it is, so I guess it's right on time.

[Assdragger]

Very nice! Is that a four pipe flatty?

Here is a 4 foot Tiki that I carved for my daughters birthday party. Its out of a pink polystyrene sheet fron home depot.

I cut the sheet into 6 pieces and glued it together then carved it in rough with a hack saw.

All of the fine tuning was done with an electric turkey knife that you can pick up for about $6 after turkey-day.

It was then covered in a secret mix of paper machae' (sp?).

1 bomb of primer - 1 bomb of dark brown- 1 bomb of cream and walaa! Instant Tiki for a 2 year old daughters birthday.

Dude that rocks!!!I was wondering if you could do something along those lines....do tell about the supersecret formula....I won't tell a soul. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Muttley]

That Tiki is cool as hell! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Why cant I have ant artistic talent? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Unkl Ian]

The paper machae(sp) would stop the solvents in the paint from eating the foam.
Brilliant.
And not too expensive.

[BARNETT]

Really cool stuff, everyone!

KC...that tiki RULES! Ass for the paint/foam melting dilema...if you use "Design Masters" brand spray paint, you won't have any reaction problems. It costs a buck or two more, but it's worth it on the labor saved! Michaels and Hobby lobby and flower shops usually carry it. Anyways...that tiki RULES! Did I alreaddy say that? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif If I can get some free time and cash, I'm gonna have to try to make one!

With my paper mache' flour water and "OTHER" mixture there was no FOAM PENETRATION(tm).

What I could have done if time permitted was glass it with marine epoxy and fiberglass cloth. It won't eat the foam! but due to time constraints I sealed it with the paper and bombed it with KRYLON. The Primeer went on as dry as I could get it just to be safe.

The next step is to glass this one in the marine epoxy resin. Hit it with a little HOK flake in a dark bronze metalic paint some satin clear and a lot of pinstriping! But I have to fundraise some money for that! So in the mean time I have 3 more to do. Maybe if I am feeling pretty http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif I will do a mini tech post of the process. The cool thing is that right now it weighs about 20 lbs and with glass and paint it should only be around 30 -40 lbs tops!

[Blacktop Graffiti]

Very nice work!!!!

Hey Brush get in contact with me!!!!!!!

I've got big things going on with Fink City. DVD's, die-cast, etc..................................

It's good to be alive! Most of the time.

[chromedRAT]

regular old elmer's glue or wood glue works too. my brother sculpted car bodies when he was in college for industrial design. used foam, and sometimes used that glue to seal the foam. pretty low buck, but it works.

[alteredpilot]

here's my 5,6 and 7 attempts at this pinstriping thing. learning alot, lots to learn. lots of rookie mistakes, but i can live with it......

[alteredpilot]

[Aushotrods]

Just got back from where a friend merc is getting built. I have posted some pics of it on this post a couple weeks ago, but when we walked into the shop this week, HOLY SHIT ANOTHER MERC!
This thing looks just plain sinister, a lot of tricks in it, but is getting built pretty hi-tech. Straight gas(propane) powered 460 Ford with a whole lot of billet shit bolted on. Its getting built as a modern car, and should ride like one too, with a late model (70's Holden) subframe graft. The Bare metal merc's airbag system is fitted, the car drops as fast as it's weight will let it, pretty cool.
Got plenty of pics, but the black merc was a BITCH to take photos of, especially since it was dark, with only the fluro shop lights.

[/ QUOTE ]

They use almost the same stuff on surfboards. Boat hulls, and model boats shaped out of polystyrene. Most of the new ground effects kits are sculpted out of a foam then glassed to make a mold. I had a long talk with the local boaters supply about it. Most resins contain a styrene derivitive or a xylene of some sorts but the marine epoxy resins are formulated for styrofoams.
