Not-so-Hot Hummer...

I got a little experimental. Didn't come out as well as I pictured. I really need to get an airbrush for this kind of stuff.

So here it is anyways, just because I sliced my thumb, and bled profusely when I made some beefier bumpers for it. Otherwise I would have just given up on it, and thrown it on the pile.

That's a really interesting Hummer body. Almost looks like a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Great flames as always. You shoulda left some gory blood smears all over it and made a shock film for a high school class. :lol:

Yeah the flames came out well enough, it was just a poorly planned concept from the beginning. It's too contrasting. I like how the red and charcoal blended to give it a glowing effect, but blue and white flames were just the wrong colors to go with it, and for the front end of this body too.

Oh well you never know until you try.

It is a sorta odd Hummer. I can see your Jeep comparison, Superfly, because I thought something about it looked just a bit sportier, than a typical Hummer. Maybe because it's smaller and 'cuter'. Maybe I just made the front bumper too low. :???:

ya i think it's the body that looks screwed more so than the paint i love the paint just i think maybe a body that resembled something more would work to an advantage

I completely re-did it. It looks so much better in person, but coming back this thread I see the old paint job looked so much more flashier in pictures. Oh well, I'm satisfied now.

Nice.
Good to see that you fixed the taillights....It kinda looked like a Jeep GC and a Volvo Wagon combo... :?
But awesome job, dude.

Thanks guys, I like the second paint job better too.

I feel I should explain about the taillights. See, I never see any Hummers over here on the po' side of town, so I wasn't totally clear on the details. The body came with the tailights up high, but I thought they should be down low, so I just painted the whole area. I have since found a picture of the rear end to work off, and feel kinda silly for painting the tailights like that before.
