The road runner is finally done. I let it rust all the way and then used a grinder to add some detail. I then let the new markings rust. This added some really cool dimension to the bird. I went back one more time with the grinder to add a few more highlights. Then I sealed it with a matte finish clear coat. When that dried it was too reflective still, so i used some extra fine steel wool to take the shine off.
These are the shots of the road runner from my studio. Now I am boxing it up and shipping it down to Texas. I have a feeling this isn't the last road runner that I will be building. All of my work is unique, so the next road runner would be a little different than this one.
I am always looking for new work or projects. I also love getting inspired, so send me your questions, ideas, pictures, anything. Email me at: Kellensmetalart@comcast.net. I am on facebook too, Kellen Jay Bain, but I am not so good about keeping current on there. Hope to hear from you. Peace.
