Thanks fella, it's flouro red and normal red with a bit of black shading on it.

Julian - Cheers mate but I only copied an Arai crash helmet so can't really take too much credit

Stu - I do my best

More on the way... hopefully before Christmas

I am still alive but not really painting much any more due to health reasons.

This is a 5th scale I did last summer.


You can see the Chameleon Pearl used on the red in this shot.


And another shell for Badger5 my best customer !

Nice to see some more of your work Ian, the detail on the 5th scale is epic.

Thank you fella, it was very very time consuming, working bigger is easier but then there is always more of it. Didn't even get many comments on the 5th scale forum but apparently that was due to shell it was on rather than the paintwork ???? Nice to work big though.

Thank you very much sir. Very good of you to say so.

Erm, honestly, I don't know, it's just what I do, stupidly insane jobs that no one else will take on because they just take too long. Luckily I had a job that paid well too so these were just a hobby but I am the slowest painter in the world.

The photo's have come out dreadful of these actually. The Gulf racing one has different blacks on it to pick out the window surround against what would have been carbon on the real one, doesn't show. The chameleon pearl on that fifth scale ( is also on the orange on the GULF ) just doens't show up, It flips through red and gold to green to completely transparent like it's not there, mental paint. And those lines on the fith scale shell are all flake, complete glitteryness in proportions you'd normally only see on a disco ball, again, lost in my photography.

Glad you enjoyed looking chaps and thanks for the kind comments

From time to time customers do ask me to do some seemingly odd stuff. When this chap said can you make my shell look like a Stealth Fighter... I wasn't sure what to make of it, my technical illustration background sprang to mind and here's what I did...

Fantastic. When I look at the stealth fighter it is often deceiving to try to work out shapes and lines due to the visual effect, and this achieves exactly the same. Hard to see what are lines, body shapes etc.

It wouldn't be to my taste, but that means we always have a variety of looks on the line - everybody has their own particular designs they like.

@ashlandchris - Thank you. It's not to my taste really and I definitely couldn't use it on the track but it's what the customer wanted so I just go with that. Was a bit of a challenge, it came with a blue film over it so was very difficult to judge colours but it's come out good and is winging it's way to him in the post now

Many thanks to Ian for indulging my little idea. I fancied something a bit different and thought the angles on the B44.1 bodyshell might work and Ian and I spent a while figuring how it might work and how to get the faceted design on the F117 represented onto a body.

I think he has done an awesome job, it will be raced but it is not my regular racing colours so might just come out for practice every so often when the weather is good.

Thanks Ian and see you during the racing season!

I've just completed this HPI Baja 5th scale shell with a Breaking Bad theme. All paint no vinyl of any sorts.

@N Design - Thanks Neil. Only doing one or two shells here and there, pretty much stopped now. One more left here to do then I'm going to call it a day. I have some other stuff going on so can't concentrate on these like I want to.

@Andys - Cheers fella, took a lot of time to work it all out and the portrait had to be brush painted, it's about the size of an iPhone, maybe a bit smaller.
