One of my 'interests'

Post Reply New Topic

So, I got into online race sims back in '99 (tho, I'd done non-multiplayer ones long before that) and found, to my delight, that most of the race sims were moddable, meaning I could have, say, a Formula 1 car painted MY way. Once I started doing that, I've never looked back.
I curently race with a group of Kiwis (tho Guild Wars has drastically cut into my track time) and do paintjobs for my friends.
So, with no further ado, here's a collection of some of my paints.
The ones labelled "Growler" or "NZRACER" are my friend Growler (obviously) and the diseased racing is me.

A collection of our older cars... top to bottom, they're the Ferrari 550, Lamborghini Diablo, Pagani Zonda and the Porsche 996 GT3.


This is my Lamborghini Murcielago from a recent race series. I'd gotten a bit bored with my usual rising sun/dragonfly theme.


A Saleen S7R for growler, from the same series.


And, finally, from a fairly recent season, my Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale


... and Growlers'.


Each of these can take anywhere from an hour to several days to do (the rising sun ones take the ongest, due to having to precisely match the lines up over a fairly uneven surface).
Sometimes I think I enjoy the painting more than the racing.
