LGM Guitars Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Well, here was my latest challenge, the surface looks bumpy, but it's dead smooth, sadly, pictures cannot possibly capture what this looks like in person, it's wild! http://pics.lgmguitars.com/pics/Mark%20Wood/viper1.jpg http://pics.lgmguitars.com/pics/Mark%20Wood/viper2.jpg http://pics.lgmguitars.com/pics/Mark%20Wood/viper3.jpg http://pics.lgmguitars.com/pics/Mark%20Wood/viper5.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden69 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Great finish Jeremy! Is that a faint carve on the top, or it is airbrushed too? And I see you shot the yellow? over darker colors, any problem with this? And if you can say what type of paint did you used? Later Bro!

LGM Guitars Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Maiden, It's not a carve no, just a standard wood violins viper. I'm not going to get into detail on how I did the finish as I'm still working to get it perfect, and, it took me forever to come up with a deadly solution to this finish and part of me wants to keep that a secret. The paints though were all SEM or HOK Kandy concentrates. The yellow is under all the other colors, then touched up over them again. Since they are all Kandy's, you see through them and see the color changes happening in the fade better than if they were solid base. I'm thrilled with this finish, all that's left is to sand it and buff it out now Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myka Guitars Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Wow, that is awesome. It looks like you have some mesh suspended inside the paint. Very 3D. I woudl love to see how it looks once you perfect the technique. It looks great already. Nice work!~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goth_fiend Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 superb work as always jeremy, awesome finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Cool Jeremy, I completely understand the "secrecy to the science" , I know they were candies, just wanted to know the brand. I realy couldn't tell that the yellow was painted first, but as you mentioned that you painted over again, I understand why. I have been playing with candies (translucent) but only with the createx for now, until I get a better paint set up. Looking at it reminder me of the helicopter body tutorial! Very similar colors!

erikbojerik Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Great finish! What's the deal with that fretboard radius at the nut? Asymmetric? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
