YES! A Cult! And a brilliant one at that. Are you going to convert them all or make a mold?

It's going to be conversions all around. I'm a glutton for punishment. ;D

Here's my favorite sextoplegic in progress. I'm honestly aiming for the guy on the left, but I think he is related to the guy on the right. On the upside, Homer is a Patriarch of sorts.

:D Briliant. I think that the bulbous forehead is to blame. That and massive protruding eyes. A Homerarch has its virtues, though.

Painting started on the 1st limo.
My goal is to make it look "shiny black" from tabletop distance & it's a learning experience. Versus just glossing the model in clear coat, this seemed like a better path.

Just wondering if it needs a bit more black? It's looking somewhat on the grey side and Google imaging some shiny black car pics seems to show more black and some more extreme areas of contrast (rather than all just subtle colour gradients).

*edit: pesky sublet gradients

Agree with Apoc, it does look gray, which indicates that the blending is too long if you intended it too look glossy black. Well painted and hugely nice concept, though.

Agreed! I've been going back in & narrowing the "shine" down with black, especially in areas that were oversprayed. It was a bit difficult to predict exactly what look the limo would have after the masking came off, but in hindsight, I think less is more. :)
