Friday Artstuff, yeah it's already Friday in Awestraylya!

[Carps]

Needed a new battery for the Humpy, and managed to find a nice clean all black one with yellow caps, that sort of match the yellow engine.

Figured it needed a lift so added some green an' yeller lines. Think I'll do the sides before it gets installed, Whaddayareckon?

[Carps]

The other thing aside from the toolbox in the pic, is my take on a storage box for striping brushes.

Made from pine, and notched in two sides so the lift out 'brush bracket' doesn't move around. The clips that hold the brushes are from the local electrical store and originally meant for keeping power leads (cords) neat around the house. They attach with double sided tape and clamp the brush handles nice and tight.

[Carps]

Another shot of the brush box.

[Carps]

The magazine cover got lines coz everytime I finish a 'job' it's there and since there's paint in the brush and I hate to waste it.... well over a few weekends it just got striped.

Dunno what prompted me to take the picture, but when it came out of the camera, I thought,, "now that's not really a bad photo." So here it is for you to confirm what Mrs carps says. She reckons I'm nuts. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Wild_47]

Thats some awesome striping...Im still practicing, bout ready to stripe my tool box. That battery looks killer. Keep it up.

[BARNETT]

Carps, that's some real nice work! Thanks for the brush holder-clamp tech...I'll be headed to the hardware store tomorrow! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Here's a toilet seat I painted for a friend/customer. All One Shot. All hand painted.

[BARNETT]

and the seat... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Psychoarts]

Carps cool striping and very cool brush box. Barrnett that Seat is sweet, nice detail with the 1-shot. The shading and wood grain look on the Tiki is unreal

Here is more stuff I've been doing an art show next Saturday.

The background for this sign looks sweet in the sun. I dusted some AutoAir hot rod sparkle green on it.

Striping on my '53 by ERIC! of Liberty, MO. Actually he and I are good friends, he always has something that I gotta have, and I find something laying around here that he needs.

I got the '53 from him.

I watched Eric lay out, or rather, stripe flames on a late model chevy pick up at the Ottwa,Ks show. He triped the lady's on the truck, too.
Pretty KOOL!

[dubie]

my first airbrush pic

[cougardan]

Well it's official, my O.C.D. has kicked in at full throttle. I have 16 original masters now and not a single mold made. I guess that's next months project. Here are some new "future" knobs. The first one might not be real practical but I couldn't resist.

[cougardan]

Mr. Mayor says "So are you a knob, a hood ornament or just a paperweight?"

[cougardan]

"Is this thing ON, hello, testing one two..."

[cougardan]

"I'd like to welcome our new guest from south of the border, The Esteemed, Incan God of Welding... Thatzapudal."

[cougardan]

...and finally, we think this one turned out really nice and the plan, with Ryan's approval, is to offer a few of these up for HAMB auction. It's loosely patterned after a hubcap and all hand made- no machines involved.

[dubie]

nice molds!! what do you use to make such a creation? I would like to make a custom shift knob for my truck and would like to know how to mold an original head

[nate]

Mr. Mayor cracks me up - http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[chopper daddy]

Here's a few pen sketches of what my car could be. Still doing more on paper right now, than on the car. But, we're expecting a long winter, so I figure I'll have plenty of garage time comin.

http://img40.exs.cx/img40/2333/roadster.jpg

http://img40.exs.cx/img40/2718/roadster-rear.jpg

[cougardan]

Dubie, these masters are sculpted out of clay and baked in the oven. Re-usable molds will be poured using silicone rubber. The final pieces will be resin/plastic that can be painted. I think I've figured out step one of the process, hope there aren't too many snags in steps two and three.
This is fun stuff!

[palepainter]

Nice Stuff Cougar,
Are you using Sculpey? If so, how long do you need to let it set up to machine or do you force bake it with the oven?
I really dig your stuff and was always interested in sculpting with that stuff. I could join my 4 yr old daughter in f-in up the carpets in the house.

Mike

[dubie]

thanks man! I know my mom used to make dolls and sculpted their faces and baked em in the oven. I was freaky to come down in the morning and there was a tray of eyeballs laying on the kitchen counter HAHAHAHA

[jalopy43]

A self-portrait,as rendered by "BEAR"HINSON,of TN. Sparky

[cougardan]

Mike, I've used plain white Sculpey and some Sculpey Premo so far. Baked in a regular oven by their instructions- doesn't take long. I haven't tried any "machining", don't want to lose the hand made character. That would probably work better with the resin casts anyway. It WILL sand and a fine rasp works great. So far I haven't ruined any carpet but it does look like I've taken up whittlin'.
Dan

[Broman]

Cougardan,

The hubcap HAMB idea is aces....I can't believe noone else ever thought of that. And to turn that idea into a shifter knob....I think we found a winner. It's just too bad you couldn't chrome that thing. No worries, I'd "settle" for one painted black with red/white striping. I could picture that in Ryan's '38 easily. Fuckin' cool man.

And Carps,
I reckon she's right......

[palepainter]

Thanks bro,
I am thinking I will have to find some that stuff to do some family time with my lil one... HEHEHE quality time with the kids!
Mike

[palepainter]

Actually you could chrome it with paint!!! I agree, that hubcap is a super cool concept. If you want to send me one sometime, I will shoot it with this Also Corp Chrome paint for experiment.

Mike

[jford13]

I've been laid up with the Flu all week, but I did manage to get a couple small things painted. A purse for a friend of mine, and the top of my toilet.

[dubie]

you could find a shop that dioes Chrome FX or Mirrachrome finishes. It is a paint process that looks just like chrome, and they can chrome anything!!

[caffeine]

barnett you suck.

im going to go kill myself.

your color choices and schemes and the smoothness of that seat just looks so damn cool.

[jdubbya]

Great stuff this week guys.

Here are a few things that I had Kritz stripe for me. First is another Pleasure Chest cooler. I gave this to my buddy Bill as a gift...He is the guy with the V-12 bucket, that I have posted pictures of before.

[jdubbya]

Next are a couple of panels that I had him stripe, for gifts. Fist one is hot pink, with black and white stripes.

[jdubbya]

This panel is a grean/gold metalflake, with red and black stripes. The pictures do not do these things justice, they look way cooler in person.

[jdubbya]

Just for the hell of it, here is a pic that I have posted before, this is the first pleasure chest cooler that I finished, minneapolis moline gold, with black and off white stripes.

[Jester]

Well I might just sneak one in

Nice work everyone...as usual! I really dig that green panel Kritz did! Josh...I'm starting to hate you more, every week. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Thanks for the compliment, Caffeine...now lets see some more of your work...sems like you've been holding back lately! Speaking of holding back...where's Hami and Picasso and PPoC and Nailhead60?!

[fatluckys]

Somethin' I'm workin' on for the Green Bean...

[4t64rd]

I know what TCB means, whats the "T" in TGB for.

[fatluckys]

I guess it's for "the." I dunno, where's Draglinks?

[Carps]

Thanx for the encouragement, but next to this stuff, my stuff is pretty ordinary.

This weekend is KOA John's picnic and we kicked it off as usual last night with the Friday evening BBQ and benchracing session. One of the guys ggot game and let me cut loose on his car. Pics soon. I have another one lined up for this arvo, so we'll see what happes.

Another of my plans is to have a huge panel hung in one of the rooms for anybody who wants to have a try, all they need is a brush and some paint. If it looks any good we'll auction it off and give the cash to the widow of one of our mates who succummed to cancer recently.

[jford13]

Barnett, you're a good guy, making a youngster like me feel all warm and fuzzy. However, I'm just trying not to flop on my ass too much.

Great stuff guys, I look forward to this post every week.

A purse my wife bought cheeeeep at a thrift store. I striped it in red and cream but the colors darkened a bit when they dried. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Still looks OK I think.
