Welcome to my gallery of all things painted in FM!
Real name Alex, a 32 year old Business Analyst for Global water company and Freelance Graphic Designer, Digital Illustrator, Typographer & self confessed Forza Addict.
Ive been playing since Forza 1 but only really started painted halfway through FM2. Painted for myself and a few garages along the way and learnt a lot of wrong ways of painting, but over the years found a lot on new ways and techniques which hopefully shows in my paints today. I’m always try to push the limits of what can be created but tend to orient myself more towards the race liveries than fantasy, even though i do occasionally paint them.
Got any questions, suggestions or randomness to ask, just PM me!
I’m open to guiding and helping where I can so don’t be afraid to drop me a message here or via PM.

FM5 & FH2 Imports
Personal Favourites and Requests Brought Over.
Just wondering, could you put your Nurburgring 24 Hour numberboard up on the sharefront?
I plan on creating various series numberboards and would like to use yours as reference.
hoping things improve as the official launch happens…as there are still some paints I simply can’t transfer over from Horizon 2 or FM5. They just simply spin and spin on the loading screen.
Can you share any special techniques you have found in getting some of our paint files transferred over?
