Well guys, I've been pretty well silent over the past month. Busy with painting and finally took a week to airbrush my own Fury.
It was hard to decide what to do with a RED FRAME! (Should have got Black) I didn't want to completely paint the red off and leave no transition to the frame so after a couple of hours of thought, I just got to work.
I liked the 'joker' theme but didn't want to get too 'busy' in the work. So I followed the KISS principle (keep it simple stupid) and I seem to like it.
I started with a picture of the "Joker" and wanted it to kind of protrude out of the tank. It all just went from there. I didn't want a lot of graphics on the fenders but at the last minute I just 'cartooned' the eyes, nose and mouth of a joker blended into the airbrushed background. I did not want that part to look detailed at all but simply the soul of the Joker.
The skins were used (front was blue, back was matte silver and the tank was bright silver) and needed prep and repaint to match my red. I stored all my original skins.
All the paint for graphics is Auto Air Waterborne with 2021 Clear to finish. ALL IS HAND DONE AIRBRUSHING! No decals...period. Used my Sata touch up gun to paint the red. The Joker is on each side of the tank and they look very close to the same. Hard to paint two of anything the same but by cutting masks and painting both at the same time, it didn't turn out too bad. I notice a few differences but most don't.
Later I will get busy and replace turn signals front reflectors the rest of the stickers etc. etc. etc. and call her done.
Enjoy.
