Getting back to it!

[gingapaint]

Hey everyone,
After a bit of a break and just doing the odd bits and pieces for friends, i've found myself picking p the brush more often and enjoying it again. Have to say, access to the right products, supplied by RCS Graphic Worx, and advice from Jon have made a big difference too. :thumbsup:

Anyway, as i've been merrily painting away, thought it rude not to share.
Comments and criticism welcome, but be gentle! lol!

[gingapaint]

few more.....

[gingapaint]

and some sneaky non-RC work..... :blush:

[gainsy]

That is some fine work there :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Love the first 1 :D

[Chris Green]

loving the stop it and tidy up work! What are they though?

What is all the non-rc stuff in fact? decals?

[jonmiller]

hey ginge, too kind buddy:blush:

some great work too dude

:thumbsup:

[eyeayen]

The stars on the first one are ace ! As is the big pink slime on the 2nd post, and I'm lovin' the spikey killer mushroom black and white thing as well as the Stop it and Tidy up characters.

Nice work sir ! Glad you're back into it, it's better when you enjoy doing it !

[gingapaint]

Cheers for the kind words!
Everything is hand cut and airbrushed, the stoppit and tidyup characters are wheel centres from a show car and the alien board is an engine cover, both for friends cars.

oh and the stars detail was hand cut, then backed up using one of RCS's wicked stencil sets.

[DCM]

Welcome back, I am sure there are people already emailing and pm'ing you!!

[gingapaint]

Lol, there's no mad panic, and I'm happy enough with that!!

[U1timate PigDog]

Loving your work, really top notch especially the non rc stuff. :thumbsup:

[gingapaint]

Cheers again :thumbsup:

New airbrush arrived today, so i went out to the booth for a play, as i had this shell already liquid masked up....

All hand cut and painted as ever..... enjoy!!

[smarkham]

Awesome work I hope I can paint like this one day :thumbsup:

[jonmiller]

lookin sharp chris :thumbsup:

[gingapaint]

Cheers!!
Jon, need to give you a wee shout tomorrow lad!!

[jonmiller]

do it now mate if it's urgent, got alot on tomorrow so may not be as quick to respond as usual

[gingapaint]

It's never 'urgent'!! Sounds like stress, that!! :p

[simoncrabb]

Welcome back Chris ;-)

[gingapaint]

'bout ye!!! ;) cheers Simon.

[Mike Parker]

Eyup Chris :)
Nice work as always, not seen your work for ages mate and it's good to see ya throwing some paint down again :thumbsup:

[gingapaint]

Hi Mike, thanks. There'll still not be that much of the work about, I'm limiting myself to 4 or 5 bodies a month. I have to see the family at some point!
Everything is updated and kept fairly lively on the FB page, and when I've spaces available for custom work, it's announced there. :)

[gingapaint]

New colour scheme for Al Bickerstaff, pending approval this weekend!

with my own version of "stance dog" in the background...... :p

[U1timate PigDog]

Very nice indeed :thumbsup:

[Alan - South West RC]

Nice work. Sent a PM as looking to get a couple of shells painted.

[eyeayen]

That's lookin' sweet dude, very very cool, lots of nice styles done well in one shell, good show piece !

[tc3nitro]

New colour scheme for Al Bickerstaff, pending approval this weekend!

with my own version of "stance dog" in the background...... :p

I always love Alan's shell's and these new ones look awesome !

Mark

[gingapaint]

Cheers Mark, as per a discussion last night, they're gonna change again! Not too much,
But enough of a difference.
We were going through his old stuff last night and the evolution is quite interesting to see!

[gingapaint]

Things I should have said yesterday..... Doing a real time update and photos thread on my Facebook site at the moment (www.facebook.com/gingapaint) masking steps all done last night, will be painting and posting tonight after 6. Might be interesting for anyone who wants to know how to do it, or just how much work goes into a 'simple' shell.
Rob, you might want to check it out, it's your shell!! Lol!! :p

[cheekyscouse]

some stunning work here, i enjoyed the facebook real time too, turned out nice mate :thumbsup:

[gingapaint]

'ello.. Real time paint job all done. can be seen on the page if anyone wants.

finished article is here :)

and stance furby too..... :thumbsup:

[eyeayen]

Nicely done Chris, very cool.

On Photo 7 of 50 you've put... Fluro section of mask removed and dusted with 2 coats of RCS liquid mask.... You don't want to see the bottle again, do you? ;)

Do you mean 2 coats of Body Prep ? I'm sure you did :lol:

Anyway, nice little tutorial and good neat design :thumbsup: how long do you reckon start to finish ?

[jonmiller]

Lookin good Chris :)
I have often thought of having a web cam in the booth linked to my site..
Although I figure clientel may be somewhat disturbed by the Stella consuming, rave beats and tribalistic dancing that is undertaken whilst painting their shells.

:woot:

[eyeayen]

I think that's all part of being a painter Jon :lol: My clients would have had a fit if they'd been able to watch my workshop, turning up at about 10 am...ish, working until 4am, it would have been like watching big brother for them :thumbdown:

[jonmiller]

if it is at all like big brother in my booth...come and set fire to it now, while i'm still in it!

:woot:

[gingapaint]

Yeah, I meant body prep at that point.... Going stir crazy obviously!
I couldn't do the webcam thing, far too many obscenities! Lol.

I did it in real time to show the time and effort that goes into a fairly simple body, I've not totted it up, but probably 5-6 hours I think?

Best thing I bought for the booth, noise cancelling earphones! Lol :thumbsup:

[gingapaint]

There's a wee sneaky special offer on the Facebook site if anyone needs stuff done ;)

[Martin Wallace]

ah nice to see your back after this time, i might get my 2 shells back i sent you.

let me think...that must be a good 8 years ago now......emailed and such and no replays.:thumbdown:

[gingapaint]

Really? Drop me a pm and I'll see if I can figure out what/how and see how it can be rectified. Can only apologise!!

[gingapaint]

yeeooooo... back in the both tonight, something properly quick for Al, needed for the weekend :)

[gingapaint]

Another night in the booth has seen a shell completed for Martin Wallace.

Excuse the pics, the better half is visiting her mom and took the camera with her.... :yawn:

Anywho...

[eyeayen]

Lookin' good ! :cool:

Like the subtle marbling and the blue and pink work great together !

[gingapaint]

Cheers! It looks much better and brighter in the flesh, doubt I'll get proper pics before it's dispatched though :(

[gingapaint]

Back to the real job again, so have slowed down a touch... still getting a few bits done though :)

here's 2 shells done for Luke Hosbon during the week.
Excuse the rubbish photos... proper camera is back again now! :thumbsup:

[Martin Wallace]

My Losi 22 shell done by chris. top work and a great gesture. :thumbsup:

[cyclonetog]

here's 2 shells done for Luke Hosbon during the week.


In action ;)

[gingapaint]

wow! it's been ages since i updated... sorry!

my comp keeps on crashing when i upload a few, so excuse me as i do them individually!

[gingapaint]

Few TC shells:

[gingapaint]

and preparing to get back to it myself... the old martini colours have come out again!

[gingapaint]

more TC shells, including my awesome new decals from Jon at RCS Graphic worx and my new packaging :)

[eyeayen]

Turps and a box of Lego, it's often those 2 are photographed together :lol:

Lookin' good Chris !

[gingapaint]

HAHA!! i really must get a proper area set aside for photos..... that's a lego advent calender (shows how long ago i painted those..... ) and it's awesome! you get one wee kit a day to build up a city type scene.... i think i'm getting more value out of it that the kids :P

Cheers fella! ;)

[eyeayen]

Cheers fella! ;)

:thumbsup: Lego rocks ! It's always cool at any age. I've bought my friends kids lego for Christmas, mainly so I can help them build it :lol:

Re: your photo's. This is the one thing that no one bothers with on here, there's always distracting stuff in the background. Go to your local Art shop, buy the biggest piece of White paper or thin card they sell. Store it at home behind your desk or somewhere flat.

When you come to do your photo's, curve it up against a wall so you have an infinity curve. Set the camera on a tripod and zoom into the shell so you only have white and a shell showing. If you want to be real clever go to a cheapy shop, buy some shower curtain, get 2 angle poise lamps with reasonably bright white bulbs in them, use the show curtain to diffuse their light. Snap away. Instant cheap home photo set up :)

[gingapaint]

Will get something sorted, cheers for the heads up ;) would have been different 7 or 8 years ago when I had the website and was painting flat out, but as now it's just for mates and whoever asks me nicely, I'm not so stressed :D

[gingapaint]

Just a quickie, I've a load of pics to upload when I get a chance.

However, I've compiled the step through I did on my FB page into a video on YouTube, so have a nosey, if it's your sort of thing!

Thanks.

Chris.

[julianb]

Very nice. Especially like the stuff for Luke - I like the design - used a simplified version for my lad a few times. He's a bit of a Kamikaze pilot, so best not waste hours doing tarty shells for him... ;-)

cheers

Ju

[lsdevey]

great fx like the tc shell:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[eyeayen]

Great little video Chris ! If anyone need to know how to do this they should watch that a few times I think it covers everything !

[gingapaint]

Thanks lads,
Ju, I can't really take credit for the design on Luke's shells, he came to me with it, I just fiddled about with it a wee bit. Seen your version though, looks great!

Thanks for the kind words :)

Cheers Ian, it's just the photos from the live step through I did on my FB page a while ago. They got out of sequence on my FB gallery, so it was just a way of making it easier to follow. It's been getting some nice feedback, though.

[gingapaint]

couple of TC shells for a local racer :)

[gingapaint]

and a few more :)

[U1timate PigDog]

couple of TC shells for a local racer :)

Loving these ones, the stars are really nice and the whole design just flows well, good work :thumbsup:

[gingapaint]

Cheers UPD!!

[eyeayen]

More nice work Chris, I prefer the Blue and Orange one of the 2, I like the white curvy graphics on it, not something I've seen before, looks great !

[gingapaint]

Thanks Ian, The white/black/fluro are repeat orders for one of the guys over here, they never photograph properly, but look great in the flesh and on track.
The blue and orange ones though, are well up in the 'favourite things I've painted' list.... :D

[eyeayen]

they never photograph properly

If I had a pound for every time I said that... so far I've found working in a dark ish room with Flash brings out the colours best, it has disadvantages too like the whites completely blowing out so they need to be put on a dark background... If I ever get to the bottom of perfect photograph to replicate the wonderous colours we use I'll be sure to let everyone know... watch this space in about another 20 years :lol:

[cyclonetog]

I'm pretty sure I can do a reasonable job as I photograph real cars for a living...

There should be no need to darken the room if you're shooting with flash, just increase the shutter speed to remove the ambient light.

I'll have a play about sometime and see what I can work out.

[eyeayen]

It's the fact the colours we use are generally use are a bit more sparkly or pearlescent or fluorescent than you get on real cars and the camera's just don't capture it. I don't think it's the camera's fault, obviously if you photograph chrome it just reflects everything which the camera can capture but the pixels don't come out as Fluorescent or metallic or pearl, there is only so much you can do.

Suggesting how to light an object with how many flash guns / lights would be handy to know.

I've done this for 10 years, tried light tents, outside, umbrella's, softboxes, ironically the best results came form just having the flash on my camera, simple is the key I guess.

[gingapaint]

Few more.....

[eyeayen]

That's different Chris, liking the fact it's random at the back but has the hard edged design element on the bonnet. Very cool :thumbsup:

[gingapaint]

Thanks Ian, everyone who's seen it seems to like it. :)
Think I'm gonna have to invest in a cutter soon though, I'm still painting in the 20th Century! Lol!!

[U1timate PigDog]

I think that is pretty cool looking, I really like the colours and the black really helps it pop. Top work as usual :thumbsup:

[gingapaint]

Cheers UPD :D

[Mike Parker]

Really liking the tourers Chris, especially the orange themed ones with the chequers :thumbsup:

[jonmiller]

indeed, looking good sir.
i like the white shading in the checks. might have to nick that sometime :lol:

[gingapaint]

Thank for the good comments guys!
Jon, pinch away lad... it was a happy afterthought! LOL!!

[eyeayen]

Chris, if you can use a vector drawing program on the computer I'd definitely invest in one ! I'm nearly 38 now ( insert dinosaur smiley HERE ), I bought my cutter about 2001, it is without a doubt one of the best things I have ever spent money on, to this day.

For sure laying masks inside a bodyshell is a bit of a dark art, even more so than trying to bend them around a crash helmet but it is so useful, repeatable patterns, logo's, clever shapes, they're really worth the money !

[matthew]

some really good work here :thumbsup:, just wondering what do you guy's use as a spraying booth and what airbrush and compressors do you use?

[gingapaint]

Hi Matthew, i'm probably the worst example to ask... i paint in a converted garage (sealed and with extractors) using the cheapest of cheap oil free compressors and an Iwata Eclipse 0.35 airbrush, with simple inline moisture trap.
Use Createx paints, RCS Liquid Mask, RCS body Prep (essential as far as im concerned) and RCS Stencils. JonMiller is the boy to ask about all of them, for my money the best products on the market.

Ian, im gonna have to learn.. it's as simple as that!! lol! I'm useles with computers.. emails and looking at ladies seem to be as much as i can do.... hard to believe i studied as an engineer......

[gingapaint]

bit off topic, but my (much) better half decided she wanted a go at this airbrushing lark....
I genuinely took a step back and just answered any questions she asked, letting her tear away....

and she came back with this! Must stress that this is the first time she'd picked up an airbrush or delt with a RC body (except to post them... lol)

impressed i was!

[gingapaint]

tonight, i gave Luke Hobson's shells a wee freshen up... bout time they were changed about a bit!

[eyeayen]

Reckon your misses is after your job Chris :woot: She's done okay with that hasn't she, sort of skate board esq.

Lovin the Luke Hobson one ! Simple, great colours, nice lines, all good :thumbsup:

Computers, ah, easy mate, if you can switch it on, do emails, and find ladies to look at you're half way there.

You can get plenty of tuition from you tube, or digital tutors, Lynda.com, Gnomon workshop. Shout if you're stuck.

[gingapaint]

Cheers Ian.. Luke's shells are all about being easy to see, by his own admission!

Naomi (better half) has a cracking viewpoint on stuff, she's really into her tattoo art, and hasn't seen a lot of RC stuff, which tend to get quite "samey"... the design on the Jeep is inspired by one of her dreses actually... i think it looks wicked!

I'll get myself set up and give you a shout sir! wont have the plotter here for a couple of weeks at least though!

[eyeayen]

You don't need the cutter until you can use the program !

I'm sure Jon or one of the other guys on here can sort you stuff if you need cutting done. Getting to know the program, learning it and being able to trace your designs or customers logo's is what you need to do. Don't worry about filling shapes or clever shading yet, that will come with confidence as you use the program now but every base point starts with being able to create an outline for something, that's how the cutters work.

Inkscape is free. Corel is widely used and okay, bit like inkscape. Illustrator is industry standard for design industry and the best out there, probably the one you're most likely to get training on too. The others have plenty of resources on line though. Give me a shout and I'll talk you through it, you need to be able to draw bezier curves with the pen tool, that's all you need for now.

[jonmiller]

like the sides n top design on lukes shell mate.

bonus..when you feel like a break you can have her step in :thumbsup:

[U1timate PigDog]

Haha she has done a pretty top job lol I like it :thumbsup:

Love the colours and scheme on Lukes it looks great, nice work !

[gingapaint]

Thanks Lads, really enjoying being back painting again.
Will show Naomi the thread. maybe encourage her into the 'booth a bit more :D

[gingapaint]

Sorry, Updates have been slow coming in, not been feeling great and the real job have been getting in the way! anywho....

Had a friend contact me on a Friday, asking very nicely could he have a shell done for the next meeting on Sunday.... was glad i could get it turned around and got him sorted for race day

i'm the first to say, it's not my finest hour... but from a bare shell to deleivery in a few hours, it's hard to knock :p

[gingapaint]

Then a further evolution of Al Bickerstaff's shells, for the Winternats. Glad to see he put them to good effect, 9th in the main event was some result! :thumbsup:

[U1timate PigDog]

Haha I like it :thumbsup:, It looks great from here and the bickerstaff ones are VERY nice too, I like the old school look of the bodies you do.

When I say old school I mean, when I used to race about 6-7 years ago that look was done alot and I loved it, Most memorable for me was the Jimming Maddison bodies with the fllame and stars, I even did a version for myself when I got back into rc last year.

Great work and keep them coming, dont let your real job get in the way of your painting LOL :lol:

[gingapaint]

Lol @ old skool.... Starting to show my age now, maybe?
Probably a result of taking a complete step back from RC for a number of years, not up with what's all the rage now! ;)
Glad you like 'em, Cheers for the comments UPD ;)

[cyclonetog]

Then a further evolution of Al Bickerstaff's shells, for the Winternats. Glad to see he put them to good effect, 9th in the main event was some result! :thumbsup:

Looks better on the track than the ironing board :lol:

[U1timate PigDog]

That body looks even better mounted :thumbsup: and I dont think that style will ever go out of fashion so to speak, its just too cool :cool:

[gingapaint]

That's an awesome pic! :D saw it on FB, and meant to ask about pinching it....

[cyclonetog]

Depends what you mean by pinch... ;)

[gingapaint]

To post here, but nevermind..... LOL!!!

And what's wrong with my retro-tastic ironing board??? :p

[eyeayen]

Lol @ old skool.... a result of taking a complete step back from RC for a number of years, not up with what's all the rage now! *editted - yeah bit it's nice to not follow the crowd I think that's why your stuff looks so cool because it's not samey. I don't want to take anything away from anyone who paints on here as this isn't ever an easy gig but none the less being original and not doing what everyone else does, especially when so many people are doing it isn't easy.

And what's wrong with my retro-tastic ironing board??? :p

That's rhetorical, right ? You don't really want us to start do you... :lol: :p

[cyclonetog]

To post here, but nevermind..... LOL!!!



Yeah you're fine to stick them in here mate lol.

Watch out for dodgy ones on FB though, the upload seriously kills the quality sometimes...

[Steveonamission]

I'm just learning at the moment, but totally agree, it's the hardest part of it to come up with a style/design that isn't already out there.

So thumbs up for your work:thumbsup:

[gingapaint]

Thanks for the feeback guys :thumbsup: muh appreciated!

in the midst of masking a load of shells (poor time management, i know... ) so i threw some paint down on a demo shell i have here, one of the awesome Mon-Tech Nazda 6 3.0 bodies, in my usual "Martini" inspired theme..... just with a bit of a twist!

[gingapaint]

and trying out something clever..... matching iPhone 4 case! ;)

[U1timate PigDog]

Very cool indeed :thumbsup:

[cyclonetog]

That "58" is awesome, saw it on FB yesterday on my phone but looks much better bigger :)

[gingapaint]

Cheers (I assume, Merv?) it's just A dusting of pearl white with a opaque white star. Ciao Marco :(

[eyeayen]

Ciao Marco :(

Gone but not forgotten, you should have done a tribute shell with his helmet as inspiration... but this is still cool.

[gingapaint]

I was gonna, but one of the other painters over here beat me to it!!

[jonmiller]

no ginga racing decals on that one? :cry:

[gingapaint]

Rear wing, big fella!! Absolutely love them BTW!! MeshFX mask is wicked too (only used it on the centre grille to be fair, but cracking stuff!!)

[gingapaint]

Rubbish!! Just realised I didn't post the pic with it in!! Sorry mate, will do it as soon as I crack the PC back on ;)

[gingapaint]

so the better half has been painting again! Thought i'd share. Real improvement. Worth remembering this is only her second attempt and she'd never lifted an airbrush before!

It's on ebay too at the moment, if anyone is interested!

[gingapaint]

and some awesome technicolor decal WIN from Jon @ RCS graphic Worx! :D

[U1timate PigDog]

Another good job :thumbsup: even did the lights and grill lol, a few more bodies and you maybe a able to take twice the amount of paint work on lol.

Also very nice decals by Jon, couldn't decide which colour I liked best so they must all be good :lol:

[cyclonetog]

I think she might have an unfair advantage ;)

[Mike Parker]

and some awesome technicolor decal WIN from Jon @ RCS graphic Worx! :D

They look spot on Chris :thumbsup: can see plenty of the mesh goodness in the background too fella ;)

[jonmiller]

ever get fed up with her i can always do with some minions

:woot:

[gingapaint]

Cheers UPD, really impressed with how quickly she picked it up. She's a pretty mean artist to be fair and has spent a. It of time practising with a tattoo gun too, so I guess it's a bit of a head start!

Cyclone, to be fair, she has all the gear here! Saying that, I didn't give her too much direction...

Mike, Mesh is awesome stuff, isn't it!! One of those products I wish I'd had for years!

Jon, I'll let you know. :p

[eyeayen]

2nd Attempt looks great, liking the green and purple against the black and white !:thumbsup:

[gingapaint]

Cheers Ian. She's itching to get more stuff done and I'm running out of old bodies.....

[eyeayen]

Tell she can only work on fizzy pop bottles then but she's got to drink it first :lol: or she could always buy her own shells... then she'll want a car to go with the shell, then she'll start beating you in races... this is where it all starts mate :lol::lol::lol::lol:

[gingapaint]

HAHA!!! i dont even own a RC car ATM.... looking forward to getting back to racing soon though.
Funny, she'd expressed an interest in the tamiya mini racing at the local club.....

[gingapaint]

Got some new flame stencils and "MeshFX" from Jon@RCSgraphicworx

Awesome stuff (although i need some practise with yon stencils....)

[jonmiller]

As said elsewhere, very nice mate ;)

:thumbsup:

[gingapaint]

moar new stuff.

[U1timate PigDog]

Very cool looking, I really like the red inside the red you have done, if that makes any sense lol:thumbsup:

[gingapaint]

Cheers UPD! sorry i've only seen this now... it's just transparent red, with the flame stencils in white and backed with opaque red.

New TC....:

[eyeayen]

Dude I thought I'd replied to the red one, Love the design and the colours, bet it looks heaps nicer in the flesh though.

Latest TC looks good, nice and clean, not too busy in the green :thumbsup:

[U1timate PigDog]

As always very nice work, :thumbsup: keep it up!!

[gingapaint]

Thanks again lads. :)

Another one, this started off as a quick tidy up of a mates design..... and i got carried away. caffine and Skrillex seem to be a good combo.....

[jonmiller]

looks hot mate
chuck some borgore in there n the shell would probably have melted

:thumbsup:

[Chrisfoster1971]

OMG that looks amazing... What does this kind of thing cost to have done on a short course/ M chassis?

[Chrisfoster1971]

Thanks for the feeback guys :thumbsup: muh appreciated!

in the midst of masking a load of shells (poor time management, i know... ) so i threw some paint down on a demo shell i have here, one of the awesome Mon-Tech Nazda 6 3.0 bodies, in my usual "Martini" inspired theme..... just with a bit of a twist!

Nice job and memorial to supersic

[eyeayen]

New shell looking ACE dude, really like the colours, the yellow front / red rear go so well with the black design in the middle, really cool !

[coolcars782]

oOple needs a like button! :thumbsup:

[Steveonamission]

Looking real sweet I must say.

[U1timate PigDog]

Hot hot hot, this one goes to my saved body folder :D, simply superb!!

[Mike Parker]

Looking sweet Chris, I especially the last TC shell :thumbsup:

Liking the stencil work you putting into the flames, I'm doing a bit of practicing at the moment with the stencils - Hard to master!! But getting there :)

[gingapaint]

Thanks for the comments lads, Kieth was really happy with the last one.
I should point out that it was done with RCS Flame Stencils and RCS MeshFX, as well as the usual Liquid Mask and Body prep combo. :)

Chrisfoster1971, drop me a pm, or email me to [email protected]

[gingapaint]

eugh.... just mental busy in the real job has put me bit behind at the moment (cant even get finished stuff dispatched this week :thumbdown: )

Regardless, another one for Martin Wallace:

[U1timate PigDog]

Looking cool :cool: top work once again.

[eyeayen]

Nice and neat Chris, good colours too.

Can't you get your misses to help you, she looked pretty good :thumbsup:

[ginge]

All mint looking shells
Good work

Nice work there buddy

[eyeayen]

Great to see you posting again Chris, too many to comment on, all look like great jobs :thumbsup:

[gingapaint]

cheers fellas! Just been flat out, not been on the slaptop to update this! too easy to pop stuff on friendface straight from the phone.... :bored:

[Sportp4ck]

cheers fellas! Just been flat out, not been on the slaptop to update this! too easy to pop stuff on friendface straight from the phone.... :bored:Seen some amazing bodies at a few nationals meets from you:thumbsup:, Would love one done but wouldnt know what to go for lol:confused:.

[n design]

Love the blue and white buggy shell, looks great just two colours.

[gingapaint]

Cheers for the comments :) Sportpack, just Gimmie a shout and I can come up with something clever.
NDesign, it's based on a design Kifopaint did for one of the guys over here, he needed stuff done really quickly, and wanted it pretty much replicated, so credit where it's due!
There's 4 different blues in it though!

[gingapaint]

I've been stupidly busy and not online much, must to a batch upload of new stuff at some point.

However, just thought i'd share this!

[jonmiller]

bout ye! bout time! :woot:

classy job dude

[eyeayen]
