For instance, I really want to try a realistic flaming paint job but have no idea how to start...

You are doing a fine job. Flames are easy, just copy some cars on hot rod sites...

These are built up and painted mostly freehand.

About the only bit of advice I can give is practice with water based polycarb paints because you can wash them off the body and start over again.
Hey Bill, do you read Airbrush Action?

Mike, a decal of the true flames might work well from an Alps, but would not look the same as done with real paint.

I produced this for a customer who requested all the elements. The girl is his girlfriend and there are clues all over the picture.
Enjoy!

I see BEC and MAC. Those are beautiful flames on that Mustang, but I cannot resist telling you that water will not extinguish class B, C, nor D fires
Instead of practing my Pablo soldering, I wasted a good fifteen minutes looking for these. The BEC in the flames was an easy find, the MAC was a liitle more challenging as I was looking in the flames also. I'm not gonna give any more info then that!
Jairus, sorry to let the cat out of the bag.The customer I think will be real happy.
Great Job!

The "Kriminal" is shown to give a sense of scale to this "BIG" body!
