Winter 2017 Build Off - Speak of the Devil

[mapleglo]

Wood dye.

After my last experience with it, hell will have to freeze over before I use it again. But I am liking the idea of tobacco burst.

 

[Korladis]

Nuu, red in the middle.

 

[mapleglo]

Only eleventy hundred more coats to go. Some of them may contain color.

That sounds excellent and a good fit to the theme. You know the devil is a smoker...

 

[Spectrum]

Black. Or something darker.

 

[Fat Freddy]

Black. Or something darker.

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens everyday
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah

eleventy hundred - I like the sound of that

I am digging this idea!
I may have to "borrow " the general concept for the Arachnophilia project (when I can finally get back on it)...
Maybe glue a bit of textured rubber to the very tip of the knob so it would be easy to adjust by simply stroking it on one side or the other, kinda on the corner of the knob...with one finger.

I think a trans red into brown burst is the thing to do, it's unique and I imagine it will look great. Maybe you could do a three color, trans red into a more opaque walnut color into a solid darker brown. Food for thought.

Also, you'll need songs to play once it's done. As more food for thought, I suggest this one:


Also, a surprise cameo (remember when Vanilla Ice made a terrible cover of his best song?):

 

[Rôckhewer]

I've personally never understood "Ghost"
Satanic themes...yada-yada...etc... but a sound like a really bad pop group, writing elongated jingles for TV commercials.??
Bizzare...

I think that's a bit of an unfair characterization.

Eleventy hundred = 1100
1100 * 2 Hrs dry time = 2200 Hrs / 24 Hrs/day = 91 days....
Don't know if you're gonna make the Mar 20 deadline

I think he described them quite accurately

 

[cdlynch]

My Ghost opinion: As pop-metal it's not super metal in spite of being Satanic praise music, but it doesn't try to be a single thing it isn't, and just look at that video! They might have the best sense of humor in the music industry. I find it highly satisfying, and it's FAR outside my usual listening tastes.

 

[Frederiek]

What, no airbrushed flames?

 

[cdlynch]

What, no airbrushed flames?

What, the laser cut flames on the fretboard aren't enough for you?

 

[Frederiek]

Can there be enough awesomeness?

 

[Gilmourisgod]

Can there be enough awesomeness?

Clearly, there cannot when it comes to Mapleglo builds. Awesomeness Abides.

 

[Korladis]

Well, I don't. Not all metal has to have someone screaming into the mic. Not that there's anything wrong with styles that employ that. Just because it's not extreme metal doesn't mean it's pop.

 

[Funky Ghost]

PMs for the musicality metal-off. It detracts from the Mapleglowness.

Thanks

I love a good tabacco burst, how interesting would that look? Or maybe a peach burst? ( is there such a thing?! ) A nice reddish to orangy ( made up words ROCK to light orange kinda deal )
