Thought I would start a thread for a novice painter... guess you have to start somewhere.

My first attempt which turned out ok, nothing special. Was quite happy with the bottom door lines, other than that... let the practising commence. Haven't finished the lights yet though, should of done them first.

And then roll on 5 years later when I might be half as good as the pro guys on here!

I'll also invest in a decent SLR camera if I improve enough to paint for people to display my work, if it turns out any good in future!

lookin good mate, the cheapest and easyest way to practice is on clear acetate from ebay 3=4 quid for 10-15 sheets a4 size or inside of a cola bottle free

PS reduce pic size before post its huge

Oh dear! I accidently pressed submit before I sorted the post/picture out...

But yeah i'll give it a go, thanks for the kind comment.

hey steve, looks great, nice job dude! didn't go for your usual colors then bud..

Your image misses light, not a DSLR. I would rather work on your image setup like getting rid of any crappy backgrounds, work with lighting, and so on before I would invest into a high-end camera system. It is astonishing what results you can achieve with little tricks and care.

Nice paint job btw...

Ahh cheers, appreciate it... got a long way to go though!

I think I just went for them as that's what I had lying around :)

Yeah I guess you are right, it was late, and there was no natural light about, will focus on taking the pictures in good light levels in the future.

Thanks!

looks good Steve, first time with an airbrush as well !!

Working on my pin stripe lines first before I get too adventureous.

looking good muller, keep at it :)

comin along nicely mate :thumbsup:

Cheers chaps, i'm becoming frustrated with my own ability already, after the 3rd shell !
I messed this one up! First go at freehanding. Onwards and upwards etc.

Im looking at getting a new shell and although im new to this sport, these look great.

Have you got any early prices while you keep practicing?

B4.1 AE?

Hi Darren,

That is a standard Jconcepts B4.

Appreciate the comment. Depends what you would like done really I guess, as I'm not anywhere near a good enough standard yet to charge.

Painted a body for Cutting Edge, messed it up a little, became tired and should of stopped, but I kept going with it to get it finished . My photography skills are naff, apologies!

lookin good there steve, as i said earlyer for practicing stuff like fades and blends pin stripes etc cut a cola bottle in half i treat it as a shell,

Looks Very Nice Steve

Looking forward to using it Sunday Hopfuly :thumbsup:

And ill post a pic here when its all ready to race , Shells always look better with a few stickers and Names on , Did you leave the rear wing clear ? I sent it along incase you wanted to spray it up , I normaly run mine clear But i sent it so you had a toatal Blank canvas with me only saying what colours i would like front to back

Well done :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Cheers, glad it's acceptable, will get it off to you in the morning, fingers crossed it'll get there saturday! Did it as fast as I could, it's hard when you only have two evenings lol. Yeah I left the wing clear, might look good black though.
