Amazing paintjob as well... I still find it amazing and confusing at the same time, to see someone do special paints like that with no more then very narrow lines of tape.
Any chance there's going to be an article that covers the whole shebang on taping and painting? Some sort of tutorial perhaps? I think that would seriously help the "what's a dremel" members in here (like me, hehe)

There is more details over at wizd forums that may help its a big thread tho!
Thanks Gordy :) I found the part where he started to paint around page 80... *catching breath*, hehe.
But it doesn't show how it was taped and such :) And that's the part I'm most curious about, since my technical skills are below zero... but my drawingskills are good enough :P

Actually, hold that thought...because yes, there will be ;)
I don't often comment on mods, as few tickle my fancy, but this is fantastic. Nice work, the Ed Roth's bubble car creations bought back some childhood memories and gave me googling material! :) I used to collect toy cars that had this look in the 70's.
A quick answer... you lay down three strips of tape right next to each other, then pull the center one... you've now got a perfectly layed down stripe... tape off one side and you've now got two areas divided by two stripes, one of each color.
I'll cover the details next time I paint... probably the keyboard.

But, you gotta ditch the skull :o. Really.
To the modder of this StarWars Pod (first thing that came to mind): more pics please ;) It looks truly awesome!
That has got to be one of the best mods I've ever seen, if not the best. Easily up there with the very best.
Built quality is excellent, paint job is superb, and the concept is completely original, I love it!
Excellent work!
Favourite mod for a while.
true bit more info in the wizd one ;) :p

Another reason why bit is such a great community with talented modders around doing simply awe-inspiring stuff.
Great work, lovely paint job and that's gonna be one hell of a PC!
maybe its because i'm aincent - but my first reaction to "bubble car" was negative.
Only because here in Europe Bubble cars were Very different :)
tiny little post ww2 3 wheel cars ! But the usa version was much more impressive :)
Giant Creme Eggs!
