My new shell for Mini racing! I ran a whole championship calander with the car in 'masking tape and felt tip pen' livery because I was always paining other peoples cars but I finally got around to this one! Tamiya Mini Shell with Chrome lights, grill, fuel cap, bumper, window frames, hinges etc, painted tail lights, then flames in Metallic White, Met Teal, Met Orange, Met Tequilla Yellow (love it! :cool:), Met light Yellow, Met Purple and Met blue. The roof is an Australian flag ghosted in with two shades of Metallic yellow (because that's where I'm from).
The Camera doesn't do the Metallic yellow justice, but it looks awesome!

Looking good Chris!:thumbsup:

That one is for the shelf ;)
Thanks Chris, very nice indeed :thumbsup:

And here's a Pred X11. Orange, black and metalic black for a simple but sharp scheeme, painted grills. Man it's an awkward shape to put a pattern on!

And done in 1 day??? your a legend mate!!!!!! :thumbsup:

nice one ,,, yer pred shells are ntr the easiest to paint and lay a design i ve not seen many of them lately either thank god but still like them

It is a horrible shape, I just done one now, and have you noticed how it feels different when you are cutting out the design, to a Proline shell. Only good thing is that the Liquid Mask lifts nice and easy off it.

yer totally agree and they re not easy to cut out too ,, take your time cutting it out chris especially the nose mate ,,,,

Bit of new work- here's a Tamiya Mini in Red with a Carbon Roof, Chrome trims, silver and white trimmed flames over graphite flames:

Here's a Protoform Mazda Speed 6 in Metallic Blue (with purple highlights), yellow and orange and white, with drop shadows to add depth and painted lights/grills/intercooler. It's based on an old personal design that I ran many years ago and it's still one of my favorite patterns, and looks great on the track!

Fresh paint for Goodger: a PF mazda speed6 with white, fluro yellow, fluro orange, purple, plain black drop shadows on metallic black. Camera doesn't show it up all that well but looks pretty sweet in real light...

Hey Guys, been a while since I posted I know. Still been painting but not many new shells, mostly repeat orders, so haven't posted.

Cheers Nick for posting that. Always love to see them mounted!

Here's a few different shots. As you can see, box art for the Tamiya DF-03 MS, this time on the proper shell. Metallic Blue, Black shadows, Blue blend, Blended fluro pink with darker edging, tinted windows, painted number and air vents or whatever they are. Basically replica paint in every detail!

Here's a couple of simple 1/12th, can't remember what they were, but just yellos, red and metallic purple using the customers own design.

Hee's on of the repeat jobs but hopefully some better pics...

Protoform LTC with Fluro yellow, Fluro green, Metalic silver with drop shadows and painted lights/grills.
Look at that flake POP!!!

Stunning job there bud :thumbsup:

Cheers Rich. Can't take credit for the design obviously, but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out technically speaking!

Here's a unique shell! Home made/custom made mini convertible shell! I haven't had it on the scales myself, but it's a bit lighter and a lot lower than the standard shells. Very simple job just for some marketing pics, Metallic blue, black arches, chrome bits, all paint lights and a bird in a bikini!

http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/t...lanMini011.jpg

And here's a proper mini: Metallic blue, Orange, Yellow and White with drop shadows, purple highlights in the blue, chrome grills and details, painted lights, the usual. It's part of a complete set, there's one TC a few pages back and the next post will be more in the same same style.

Finally I'm getting around to posting some fresh work! It's a popular style this one- but this time on a Cat SX for Paul B. The undertray reminds me of a fooking prawn if you know what I mean! I like it though.

And a few more repeat orders:

http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/t...peed6IV007.jpg

And I changed the shadow tint on the mini a bit. It doesn't show up so well in the photos but the dark red drop shadow works better than the black tint shadow I used last time!

http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/t...eMiniII013.jpg

And here's an F1 and TC to match the mini posted above:
