Ace Ventura PI Forza Horizon Gallery (New! RoadRunner 70' RoadRunner)

I want to preface my post by saying this: Yee-haw! The first race gallery on the new forums! The FIRST BABY!!

So for those of you who don’t yet know me I am an avid painter in Forza, I got started in Forza 4 and have since come a long way. Painting cars is one of my biggest hobbies and I prefer to paint mainly race replicas from the past. However if vintage liveries and replicas don’t do it for you, I have some modern paints and originals as well. So this front page will serve as the catalog. All the cars here are on my share-front unless they are in the “Private” section. I will have car-parts and full paint-jobs all organized by category and brand. Enjoy and feedback is welcome and recommended.

Also, now that we are in Horizon I will primarily be focusing on rally cars. If you want to view my race paints look here:

Alright guys! My first paint here. While on this side of things I typically will not be doing any race replicas this was a must. I have always wanted to do this one but others have always beaten me too it. Not this time. Here she is, my first Horizon 2 paint. GTR-R32 Calsonic as driven in the 1990 Japanese Grand Touring Car Championship. This will be available for download as soon as the servers start working for me. Well now, on to the pics!

nice nice nice!!!

Very nice mate

have no idea how you can do that so fast

She’s a beaut! Good to see you on FH2, it was hard putting down 5 for awhile but FH2 exceeded my expectations. As per your wheel selection, how about the new wheel choices! Wooot.

Thanks mate, I really wanted to get this one out quickly!

Thank you.

I am glad you like it mate, thanks for stopping by.

Honestly neither do I ;). I guess when you want to be the first…

Thanks mate, I am glad you are also coming over and that you like the paint! The new wheels are to die for.

New paint should be up relatively soon.

Cheers, Ace

Can I ask how many hours (on average) it takes you to create a paint job? I really like the idea of making the cars my own, but the few times I have tried, I end up scrapping a couple hours of work. And this is just striping and other funky designs on it. It’s not the super detailed level of work on yours. I just don’t know if it’s something I should pursue. I think the excessive hours would probably be the biggest issue as that is time that could be spent racing =)

Nice and clean ace

Shame about stock decals but nice overall.

Usually designs can take a good few hours, 4+ depending on how many logos you need to make. IF you like racing that much then I would say avoid the designing in favor of more racing to be really good is a substantial time commitment. If you want just basic base designs it shouldn’t take too long.

Thanks mate.

Thanks, good to hear from you mate. I checked out your gallery, some impressive stuff!

Alright guys, I have another design that I am currently working on. I want to be the first before anyone else does a really good version so I have been plugging away. I know it’s a cliched car but I like it so here is the wip of the Alitalia Lancia Stratos from the 1977 Rally Monte Carlo. Enoy, the paint should be out soon.

I call it classic
Either way Stratos look cool.

I like the Lancia as well, very clean design, not cluttered with sponsors.

Quality paints as always Ace, keep up the good work mate!
