Greg Pugh Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) I found a guy on Facebook that was doing these insanely awesome airbrushed murals on model cars. Knowing that I would never be able to achieve these results no matter how good of a painter I thought I might be, but wanting one of these creations in my collection, I reached out to him and he agreed to do one for me. I did all of the body work and had the body in primer when I shipped it off to him in Germany. I gave him full artistic freedom to paint it however he pleased. Opening the box upon it's return, I had no idea what my van would have painted on it. Unbeknownst to me, he had been watching my son's 2018/2019 football season via my Facebook posts. The Seaside Seagulls had an amazing year and made it to the State Championships! Needless to say, I was blown away! So what was to be a mural-painted build for me became a tribute build for my son. After I received the painted body, I did everything else you see here. My son absolutely LOVED it and that is him on the side #5!

Misha Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 That looks amazing Greg, especially with your photo set up I had to look twice to realize it was 1:25 rather than the real vehicle. Congrats on your efforts in having the airbrushing done, stunning! Cheers Misha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
