Alrite Graham good to see you on here fella :thumbsup:

Had a flick through, nice looking shells mate!

Cheers Mike, Not quite upto your standard yet ;) but working on it lol.

Loving some of the recent work you've done absolute quality!!

Looking good ! Keep it up and keep posting more pics. :thumbsup:

The last 3 photo's look like the car in the latest LRP ads, nice going !

Cheers Guys, the last pics on there were done for a friend at my local track based on his version of a Ronald Volker design I believe.

Just added another body done for a friend. Hope you like it, was based on the protoform design for the Nemesis a few years back.

They'll be for Chris then I guess, judging by the window. :)

Lookin good Piggy D ;)

Cheers Jon, they certainly are for Chris, He does love his curved windows hes ran them for years now. :D

I recognise Chris's scheme from back in the touring days :thumbsup: looking gurd G!

Thanks Mike, Its hard to see from the pics but the purple is marbled on both bodies and one has a white/yellow graphite pattern down the side, Pics didn't really highlight it well, maybe some close ups next time :D.

Another Body !! It does have a marble effect in the red but the my camera is not as good as it once was! The design isn't mine borrowed it off a shell i seen a while ago but thought I would try and give it for some practice, changed a couple of bits but not much. Hope you like it!

Looking tidy ! I like the lights.

I don't think it's your camera I think it's where you're photographing it. Outside is definitely best for true light and colours but at the same time you get so many reflections. If you can find a cheapy light tent on ebay and get that even to the extent of using it outside it should help. Also I don't know what sort of camera you have but using the flash generally helps the colours show up well, maybe put some white tissue over it if it's too big or some tracing paper, this might take some practice and possibly need doubling up but it will be a trial and error thing.

Photographing your hard work is the most difficult part. Good work though, lots in that and it all looks neat and well executed !

I will try your tips on the next photos I take, the camera did used to be better, I had it in my rear pocket(without the cover) and forgot about when I sat back on a wall, I damaged the front shutter which now doesn't work properly and I've marked the lens :blush:, A bit gutted but at least it still works :).

Thanks for the advice!

lookin good piggy d. lots of curves in there to practice ones blade work :lol:

Cheers Jon, there certainly was a bit of blade practice but practice makes perfect as they say :D

Might try some pinstriping on the next one :woot:.

Last one is looking good Graham, nice design & colour combo :)

Cheers Mike, I'm getting there just trying to copy a few more complex designs to try and improve the quality and design of my work. I'm really happy with how my ltest one have really started to improve. Still along way to go yet though.

Mike Parker thin pins next maybe? :woot: lol.

Another body, I took inspiration from one of LarryG KustomRcGraphics buggy bodies, changed a few things and tried to give it my own stamp,

Also thanks to Eyeayen for the photo tips I think these came out better and managed to capture a bit more of the detail. :drool:

Looks cool, I really like the fact the roof isn't symmetrical !

Cheers all,

looks great mounted, I really liked the idea of a non symetrical roof and the buggy bodies being nice and curvy, I felt it would look cool going with the flow of the body lol (if that makes any sense at all)

I seem to prefer a symetrical design all round on the touring cars though, I think it must be the shape of the bodies.
