[PTG Ace Ventura] Race Liveries and Replicas (New! BMW 2002 Alpina Complete + More!)

Thank you very much mate! I could always use more friends/followers and people to race with. :slight_smile:

First off thank you. I organized the front page by taking photos of my cars and cropping them to a uniform size. Then from there I just alphabetized them by make and placed them in chronological order going down the make. I am glad you like it. I feel it is the most effective way of doing a catalog page.

Yes, I have been quite busy although I did manage to fit in some racing the other day.

Thank you, the bodykit was killer.

Your designs are always great and I would love to see another classic painter open up on the new forums. :slight_smile:

Thanks mate, I am glad that you like them.

If I did not reply to you directly do not be offended, there were some repeat(ish) statements and I very much value all of your feedback.
Anyways, I have recently completed another body part that I imagine will prove to be very useful. Unfortunately for us, the race aero eliminates the headlights of many cars, one of which being the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe but never fear! I have just made headlights to place over the aero-kit and I think they do the trick, they are now available as one layer group on my sharefront. Enjoy.

Nice Daytona bud :wink:

Great paints in here, love the classics when they are done right and your on the ball for sure.

Nice paints Ace. Looks like you are on a roll.

Sorry to say not a great fan of the classics. Having said that they are very well done and look very authentic. My favorites are the blank pain lambo and the gtr.
Keep up the good work mate.

nice work mate. will sure have you in consideration i myself like original race liveries, keep up the good work.

Alright everybody! I am back with another new paint of an old car. Up now we have a replica of the Alfa Romeo GTAm that Carlo Faceti raced in the 1971 Spa 24 Hours. The Shell logo was a real pain as it had to be oddly stretched across two sides of the car, but I think it turned out alright but you can be the judge of that. As usual this is available on my share-front with the keyword search: Carlo. Enjoy!

Looking good :slight_smile: the widebody looks top notch (Y)

Nice Alfa mate that kit looks great on that car

And congrats btw :wink:

Whilst CGC Retro is no longer with us in the Forza world it is nice to see someone who can hold a candle against his stuff and continue the sweet retro liveries :slight_smile:

Thank you both for the compliments. The wide-bodies are somewhat difficult to figure out but I find them to be very rewarding.

This is a huge compliment to me. Retro was my original painting inspiration and the painter who’s work I liked the best so to hear this is really great. Thank you very much.

In other news: Unfortunately my Carlo Faceti Alfa has been going quite slowly with a grand total of only two downloads, but oh well I am sure it will pick up.

But more important than that, my only rally replica so far has managed to win the Week H Livery Contest so downloads for that have taken off. Here are some pictures of the car. Wide arches included!

Well done mate I have that livery on my escort must admit I’m yet to get the Alfa I will grab it when I’m next in been busy all weekend so far lol just got my camaro done then a great big storm has come since and zapped all power oh joy hope my box is ok as I was on it when it happened I better not bloody flood again or I will be mega p****d :frowning:

Oh man sorry to hear that mate and by the way no pressure to download anything, I don’t mean to impose. Good luck in the storm mate. I wish you well.

Thanks mate seems to have gone for now but we gotta go out for a family meal hope that’s it or I won’t enjoy it joust got sorted from last one in July god dam weather lol :slight_smile:

escort looks good but it looks like the cars missing the drivers names? I know when I did it on FM4 they where in a difficult font but with the new layer limits it’s probably doable to the correct level, kind of looks a bit bare. Also not sure if this has been done on your arches as sadly can’t see the car ingame but I made the top of the arch the circle in the middle pale white and the base colour and outside of the arch 5 clicks darker to make it pop, also a quick note the front arch should finish just below the plastic bumper, something i did wrong on all my cars so my body kit is incorrect, updated now but too late for me with how many variants I did. Hope this helps. Alfa looks good, colour looks right too, always found that colour tricky to get right to the point that i think I gave up on it haha! Also can’t wait to get FM5 and see the detail in the corvette as FM4 really restricted the details I could put in in the notes.

He’s still alive! Thank you very much mate! I will fix this all in future escorts of mine. I appreciate the feedback mate! Also, I lazily did omit the drivers names as I couldn’t find many good source pics but due to the new system and updating I am going to leave it be. Thanks for the tips mate, hearing from you is always the best! I hope that you will soon get Forza 5, the more retro paints here the better!

Alright, not much action but oh well, such is life. Anyway here we go. Over on the Fantasy thread I responded to a request for the Liberty-Walk 458 so it is currently a WIP but I have finished the body and in short-time I will be finishing the logos and it will be ready to download. So enjoy and wish me luck! So here she is…
