As I am finishing up these this is what the kills look like.
This is how the kills came out. A pile of work, texturing, hand painting and then scratched up and added with a patina to blend it all together. Note that everyone that has remained patient made it more complicated by picking one of the choices of kills, which turns out to 3.5 or 5 hours of work that was thrown in for free. In this case there was other effects added to the paint job all over the deck to make it more like something real and more like a weathered model kit more then a skateboard. Thank you goes to those buyers for remaining patient as I figured this out.
Essentially it's like painting on glass, the paint is really sticking to the board since the kills are over clear and thus it's easy to lift off parts of the finished piece thus making something perfect to ruin it to make something perfect again.
--------------------------------------
These are the steps taken to come up with the final version of distressing for the Deadly Dame deck. The deck at center was to humaginous, however another test deck at far right is what I want the series to be more like. Less little scratches, more a mixture of medium and small and big giant chunks missing.
Each one of these from start to finish is 22 hours. Hand painting, deserting, silkscreening and each one of them is a pain in the rear to make.
That is why as you see on the far left the boards have the plane fasteners removed to make printing easier.
$750 of work for $280.
And yes at the end everyone paid less then what I was asking.
And I thank you for that.

This is limited in pieces(don't know how many yet) but they are going to be a combination of hand painting, distressing, silkscreening and much like building a model kit when you were a kid. Has various hand painted, printed stencils and markings to the deck for "High Octane Rating" and various kills which you get to choose for your final deck.
This is the final shape on the left compared to a 30"x10" pig. Final shape length is 30.75"x10" and has a nice in-between old school and mellow kick.
The facts:
- Shape is not finalized but will be a pig. (will have wheel wells)
- Board uses 1940's Boeing B29 Super Fortress era vintage fasteners(not rivets which is incorrect nomenclature)
- Painted in authentic hand mixed paints.
- Distressed over smooth aluminium hand mixed shinny, very shinny metal paint.
- Silkscreened.
-Comes with a fine art poster in stock non-distressed.
- Fade out cammo just like on mid-war P47's and B29's.
And you get your choice of 3 different types of "kills" either Japanese, Nazi Germany or black silhouette of factories or ship kills. Trust me the all rule.
Price is not determined. But a $100 deposit assures your board. Refundable if I don't deliver by late April to Mid March.
Please note if you're a instant-gratification type please don't deal with me. Please just await the board to be done and pay me $350 if any are done if any left.
These are works of love and art.
Each boards distressing pattern is hand done and is unique. Now two will be alike.

Dear novice silkscreener,
The screen doesn't print over the rivets, that part is hand panted.
Board is painted silver first, marked out and drilled for Fasteners, not rivets.
Then the fasteners are removed then the board is printed and fasteners knocked back in and I hand paint over the fasteners.
Plane fasters work by tolerance They are exactly drilled to fit snug. Basically a plane is just pegged together mostly.
But then again I can silkscreen over the rivets if I chose but would miss 1/18th around the each stud top because Felxo Rubber Mold wouldn't be able to kiss that.
Check out Flexo Rubber printing I think you might find it interesting.
