Thought I would start a thread for a novice painter... guess you have to start somewhere.

My first attempt which turned out ok, nothing special. Was quite happy with the bottom door lines, other than that... let the practising commence. Haven't finished the lights yet though, should of done them first.

And then roll on 5 years later when I might be half as good as the pro guys on here!

I'll also invest in a decent SLR camera if I improve enough to paint for people to display my work, if it turns out any good in future!

Steve

Your image misses light, not a DSLR. I would rather work on your image setup like getting rid of any crappy backgrounds, work with lighting, and so on before I would invest into a high-end camera system. It is astonishing what results you can achieve with little tricks and care.

Nice paint job btw...

Yeah I guess you are right, it was late, and there was no natural light about, will focus on taking the pictures in good light levels in the future.

Thanks!

Hi Darren,

That is a standard Jconcepts B4.

Appreciate the comment. Depends what you would like done really I guess, as I'm not anywhere near a good enough standard yet to charge.

Cheers, glad it's acceptable, will get it off to you in the morning, fingers crossed it'll get there saturday! Did it as fast as I could, it's hard when you only have two evenings lol. Yeah I left the wing clear, might look good black though.
