Matt Bacon Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Inspired by Top Gear's run around Imola in three supercars that weren't Ferraris, this is the very nice Fujimi kit, with a Stig slightly adapted from their driver figure set. Paint is Zero's colour-matched Arancio Argos, with 2K clear coat. A beast: A couple shot from a more "people-sized" perspective, which gives a better impression of what one looks like to a bystander in real life... Family portrait: On the track: There's still some more work to do on this display concept, but it's why the Stig is in the driver's seat, so watch this space... bestest, M.
rhs856 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Beautiful car, Matt. I love the action shot at the end.
Draggon Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 That came out great. That last shot with the blurred track looks impressive!
Matt Bacon Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Thanks, guys! Since the action shot seems popular, here are a few more.... still need to work out how to do some convincing flames. Thanks to Ennis Fargis for the track base image, which is a real Imola corner from a race simulator. I processed that in Photoshop before making the base. All of those are just photographs. This one has a little more help from Photoshop so the wheels are moving... bestest, M. Edited March 23, 2012 by Matt Bacon
Kanedge Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 The last one looks the best with the wheels moving. Great job, I think these are such an angry looking car, very cool.
Zarana-X Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 "Some say, he only knows two facts about ducks, and their both wrong." I'm gonna have to put a Stig in one of my vehicles, now.
Dominik Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 the last picture with the spinning wheels is awesome! hot ride! perfect built in my view.
crispy Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Nice work Matt! This seems to be a popular color for this particular car. Mine will be Arancio Atlas. I love the Stig figure! Where were you able to obtain that? Thanks for shring. Chris
Matt Bacon Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 Thank you very much for the kind comments, everyone. I'm glad the motion concept worked for you -- I was looking for a way to deal with teh fact that the doors had to be open or closed, and the engine wasn't full detail. It needed to be built closed up, and that gave me the excuse... Chris... the "Stig" is from the Fujimi drivers set - the most modern figure. He's so iconic that if you paint the right colours on the suit, no one will notice that the helmet and suit are the wrong, somewhat dated style..."White suit... check; blue visor... check; black detailing... check; it's the Stig!" bestest, M.
jaymcminn Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Excellent work, Matt. The glowing ceramic brake discs are a great idea!
