No Rest for the Wicked-

I finally finished the "Crashed Charger" project and am now creating a comp for a Fashion Show (that will be shot Sunday-I hope) as well as a "Landmarks of Portland" show (which is due on the 17th). BUT the car is done.

Here are the pics:
Car with the interior placed in and completed engine compartment.I tried to add some great details-like the Magic8Ball gear shift, radio knobs and speedometer and things. I will have those pics later.
Charger-8

Here are the wheels. I had to experiment to see what technique was needed to keep the paper chrome. This will be used later for my Fashion Masks (David-you're gonna flip!)
Charger-9

White primer to catch the red-plus put on the hood.
Charger-10

Drying car after the 2nd coat.
Charger-11

Detail of back end. Tried to cut out letters-but failed. Finally painted them in and outlined them in black photo marker.
Charger-12

Busted windshield for the front of the car. This is the only thing NOT out of paper.
Charger-glass

Final car. Added silver crinkled highlight to simulate metal under the red as well as scratches. Client was ecstatic!
Charger-Final

Elisa took detailed pics that I will also post later. Time for some coffee and back up to the cutting board.
