Hello all! My name’s Foggy, or Laurie IRL. I’m an aspiring photographer and graphic designer and I’ve been hooked on motorsport since I was a toddler. Been around in the community since FM2 but never really been active as far as posting goes. Spoken to and raced a few of you in the past but nothing major! Recently started to dive headlong into the painting world and I’ve been loving every minute so I decided it was time to create myself a little gallery space and mix with you talented lot more often. I focus on race replicas as it stands, will probably do a few original race liveries along the way when my skills improve. Comments and criticism of course welcome! Enough about myself, you’re only here for the painting really aren’t ya. I’ll keep the OP updated with each one I release.
First paint! One of my favourite race cars ever has to be the Team Oreca Viper that raced at the 24H of Le Mans in 99/00. And so It had to be done! Brought back to life on the current version of their race machine. C&C Very welcome and encouraged, first replica I’ve ever finished to get the ball rolling. True what they say, I have well and truly been bitten by the bug!

Aston is finished! Unfortunately the carbon fibre areas at the bottom of the car all the way around cannot be painted, nor can any part of the wing, so I’ve had to tweak it slightly and some logos have had to be removed, but I don’t feel like it made too much of a negative impact on the overall paint! Rather happy with the way this one turned out. Getting the hang of it!

Holy moly, that’s some spot-on logo work! Downloading the Aston ASAP. The Viper looks like a great adaptation, too… Any chance that we’ll see the white, blue and red livery used at the 1999 Le Mans too?
Even with the missing logos that Aston is looking stellar mate! Great job. Unfortunately it seems as if a few photos in this thread have disappeared from Flickr.
Cheers man! Spent quite a while on a few of them so I’m glad it didn’t go unnoticed. I’m contemplating doing that actually! Trying not to fill my gallery with Le Mans stuff now though haha, it didn’t even occur to me I’d done two in a row until I posted the Aston earlier. It will probably get done at some point!
Thank you! Bit annoyed I had to leave them out but I was worried the car would look too cluttered if I couldn’t put them in their intended place. As for the photos, that should be fixed now. I stupidly removed them from my Flickr forgetting that the links were embedded onto this forum so would break if they were taken down. Won’t be making that mistake again that’s for sure! Cheers for pointing it out Ace.
Bonus car! Stuck the Viper paint on the original '99 Viper, would have been rude not to eh. Up on my sharefont, keyword Foggy or Oreca.
Cheers guys! Must admit it’s a little crazy seeing names I’ve followed for years admiring and using my paints. Definitely given me the urge to push myself and improve, hopefully I’ll be up there with you all one day soon. dreams
Not too far off mate. You have everything you need: patience, attention to detail and the ability to make crisp clean logos. Now, I can’t wait to see more of that Countach. The fact that it was from a Japanese series intrigues me. I’m sure it will be great!
