zundapp

[HF AIRBRUSH]

well, i got great respect for stan his chrome work, and i thought i will give it a try...
I already started in the tread of stan...but i don't think its nice to post it in his tread...so i started my own..

it's no harley i agree, and i think that the most of you never saw a zundapp before so i will place a pic of the zundapp im building at the moment and a pic of the engine im trying to paint...and the first pic of how far i am...

i never used any mask, so don't be to hard on me..hahaha..
i mostly paint dogs and everything freehand..so this is all new to me, i already found the first mistake i made..
I had my own flagprinting business and i made all my film for the screens myself..i tryed the same way on this...
so everything i cut out, i placed it back later....and this is something that not always will work...

Henk I don't like it. No I joking this looks really great. I have tired it once and it didn't come out good at all. The only thing I see and I'm sure you have allso
is some place maybe alittle darker and some more high lites.
Good job man.

thanks...
i know that there will be a few points...but like i said its my first...
and maybe a little darker...that could be, but im not sure how i will do the backgraound and im afraid taht when i will make the backgroud that it will be to dark.
I get the feeling that when this painting is ready that i will detail it freehand...

henk, I like it so far! I went to your website and saw your zundapp! How many do you own? I love your dog paintings, esp the Lab's!

This is going to be a great painting!

I have done several Harley engines, two of them were commissions, and the other I thought I had around here. I can't find the sucka' though!

Can't wait t see more!

[ABStan]

ditto to the looking good but what is a hairy stick?

Penny,

I think the normal term is paint brush :D :D :D

Stan

[HF AIRBRUSH]

Hey stan,
no hairy sticks mate...just the airbrush and mask...hahaha..
i never use a brush in my airbrush paintings.....
I find it a lot of fun, but if you should do this for a customer.....he should not rush you...
i just doing this to explore myself and see what i can and what i can't
i don't think i will make this for customers....i just do the dog paintings, thats were my heart is.....

henk

[Caterwallin']

He heheeeee!
A hairy stick? Now that's one I can say I have never heard! LOL!

Henk, this is coming along nicely! What support are ya using!

Sam

[HF AIRBRUSH]

hey sam,
what do you mean by support?..
you mean what kind of airbrush i use?..

i use a Evolution double action with a 2 and 4 nozzle
with createx auto air...

i also use beer and a lot of cigarets...hahaha

it's to bad that the evolution isn't available at most country's...this is really a great airbrush.

henk

[Penny220]

LOL, i think he means, what are you painting this on?

[HF AIRBRUSH]

oh...hahahaha...well i can write a little bit english and read it offcourse,...but sometimes im having problems with some line's..hahaha.. :p
but im painting this on paper.
I got a friend who's got a printing business and i can get paper from him...
the quality is oke for this....and because it isn't for a customer i just paint it on this paper.
Most of the time i do paintings for customers on canvas.

henk

[Penny220]

LOL, I think it's great that you HAVE a second language!

[HF AIRBRUSH]

still going ok...but i can tell ya....im a freehand guy...hahahaha..
i have a lot of fun painting this but i like the freehand painting much more.
i got a lot of trouble with some parts, im still building this zundapp so not evrything is on it...so i must imagine a lot of parts, and how the light will reflect on it..
i also cut ones in the paper :( ...lucky i can hide it but i must be more carefull

henk

[Caterwallin']

This is looking great Henk! I like your idea of support!! LOL! That's the kind I need to be working with!

I would love to try an Evolution, can you send me one? Also, send me one of those Grafo T1's (Harder & Steenbeck)!

Waiting anxiously to see more!

Sam

[HF AIRBRUSH]

Hey Sam,
the Evolution with a 2 and 4 nozzle and two size's cups are 154 euro here...
I don't know what the shipping kost but i promise you it's a hell of a airbrush.
Ive tryed the badger but after using the evolution the badger does not work nice..

I checked the link, sounds like a nice airbrush. I didn't see where to buy the needles and nozzles for it and what they cost. I converted the price over to US and it comes out to be $158.59 without shipping, airhose and of course the extra needles and nozzles. Of course with an optional .15 mm and .6 mm set ups I think this is the most versatile airbrush yet. Thanks for the info.
Time to check ebay :)
