Very early WIP. I decided to do a 180 on the Bomber Mustang project. A lot of work’s still left but atleast I feel like I’m going in the right direction! Also, getting a 250 GTO today, and the TZ2 beckons… Last but not least, I’ll finally have 7/7 access to an Xbox, for the first time ever since last year. This should result in a conspicuous improvement of my workflow!
+1. That Mustang is already looking promising mate. Now that you also have more free time I can’t wait to see the heightened frequency of your releases.
I know I have seen a few people asking for the bomber look on the Rally Fighter, but it looks just as good on the Mustang. Can’t wait to see the final product!
It’s been a while, eh? Here’s a bit of a progress on the Mustang. I decided to go for the Ghost Grey used on F-15s and give the paint a more modern spin. Started on the weathering and the typo work… But it’s a looong way from finished. I am also in the process of sourcing a couple of tasty replicas, so… Stay tuned!
Thanks! Sorry for the late reply, I just read your post. It’s hue .58R, saturation .09L and brightness .53L; however I applied it on the Mustang as a layer over an opaque CF base and it may not look the same if you use itas your base coat.
Lookin pretty nice mate. You’re paints do take a while but they are really amazing and well worth the wait. I can’t wait to see this and some of the new replicas.
With the Mustang on the shelf again and for the time being, and after another long break from the paint booth (gosh, do you even paint anymore?, you may be asking, and I’ll reply, hell if I know!), I am now working on some liveries - some replicas, some originals (that you’ll probably never see). This is my latest WIP, and I will probably be done with it before the end of November. Care to guess what’s the main sponsor of this replica, and when was it originally raced?
I googled it, won’t spoil it,
a rally car obviously, but will you logo it up as a proper rally car or with the “horizon rally” numbers and rally plates?
can’t say what year , but i know it did Tour de corse…
Sorry for the lack of updates… It appears that finding inspiration to do anything is getting harder and harder for me. There’s always something to do, y’know? And I’m getting lots of headaches as usual when it’s time to turn the heating on. Then there’s the fact that with lessons for this semester over I moved back home - which means that I didn’t even get on the Xbox much for the past two weeks. And when I got home Farcry 4 was waiting (it’s a mildly disappointing game, little improvement over FC3, but the plot and characters are good, and sniping rhinos with a .700 Nitro is mighty fun).
But really, it sounds like I’m making a lot of excuses for my slacking. ; P
As many of you correctly guessed, the car is the Renault 5 Maxi Turbo driven at the 1985 Tour de Corse by a then-unknown ambulance driver named Didier Auriol. The 1985 TdC was marred by tragedy when Attilio Bettega crashed his 037, which turned in a fireball. The following year a very similar accident involving Henri Toivonen on a Delta S4 led to the end of Group B rallying. And despite being a fan of the 500 hp rally monsters of the 80s, I can’t say I don’t see why even the most die-hard gearhead could come to consider running at speeds of up to 200 kph on the narrow streets of Corsica downright suicidal.
What’s left to do is touchs up on the base paint and, probably, on the 33 Export logo; touching up all the colors (and of course, the photomode settings which are making the colors look a lot brighter and a lot more saturated than they actually are - speaking of which, anybody got some good settings for H2?), and, of course, all the secondary sponsors - a task which should also net me a Renault font that I will be able to reuse to create another livery that I always loved, that of the #11 Diac car that raced at the 1986 TdC. I could also do other 1985 TdC paints now that I got the plate and number pad done, but it’s hard work, and I also got plenty of original paints in mind - of which many will probably never see the light of the day, but oh well, thinking and imagining and scheming are free, aren’t they?
I love this! Such an awesomely esoteric car. Excellent work here and this is for sure a download from me. You have been up to some great stuff lately mate. Keep 'em coming.
