Saw something like this and wanted to have it for the shop, so I got it drawn out onto a sheet of steel, and then cut it out with the plasma cutter - which worked really great too !

Next - get it into primer . . .

Now for the painting . . . I'm working on the back side to get my alignment, my paint colors, and some of my techniques figured out . . .

So don't "fret" if it's backwards . . . it'll hang on the other side once I get all my detail figured out . . . and painted . . .

Got one minor mistake on the stripes on the left side . . . that I'll have to fix on the front . . . and figure out if I like the blue and red tones . . .

The blue "might" need to go a touch darker . . .

The red is looking pretty good to me . . . so far . . .

That's "kinda" what the end result will be . . . but I've got more ideas that are not incorporated into this test painting . . .

But . . . for the most part . . . I'm liking the results . . .
 
Slowly making progress on this painting . . . found some better candy paints, and I really like the look much better now . . .

Finally got this one completed . . . really happy with how it turned out . . .

Might need to make another one . . .
