Dark Moon - A beginner at work

Hi guys, as the title says, I am a beginner to this painting thing. In past Forza’s I either just bought the decals to stick on my cars or was gifted them.

This time round I wanted to try and see if I could actually paint for myself, so any hints, tips and feedback on my work would be very much appreciated.

Anyway on with the paints.

For any of my paints just search my gamertag - HLR Dark Moon

Not bad at all! Great job, especially with the Mercedes A45 :slight_smile:

Great work so far! I think your onto something good here so keep it up!

This stuff is pretty darn good, especially for someone who is less experienced. Great job so far, I can’t wait to see where you go from here.

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys

Your logo are well done so you have the hardest part sorted. A very good start. Looking forward to more.

The Civic Safty Car looks very good, and the others paintings very clean. Nice work!

Hoping to get this Punto finished off by tomorrow.

Did the base yesterday, all thats left is all the logo work.

The 2nd paint is a very quick and simple one for my D-Class Mini

As I didn’t have a paint for this leaderboard car, I knocked up something very quick and simple for it.

I also have a tune available for this, which when I made it a few weeks back was good enough to set top 50 times and I am not the fastest guy by any stretch of the imagination.

As I said on universe mate great work getting better all the time plus nice to see you on here also and nice new additions :wink:

Great job with that R33. I’m going to need to give that a spin, just please fix the 1. Good job though mate, that Mini is also cool. Keep up the great work!

Cheers Ace.

I know the 1 looks crap, so will redo it after I have finished my RUF paint

I had to use a slightly different design as I couldn’t find an image of the gravity logo, so went for the Dams 2013 car instead.

Whilst taking the pics, I noticed a few things that needed tweaking before I can share this paint.

Looking good matey! Should get my Ruf done soon :wink:
