Custom Livery for Porsche 911 GT3

MrNanoTrax · #1 09-20-2009, 11:30 PM

i've finally moved into a new section of my hobby: custom dnano paint jobs - i think i can do a lot better than this, but here's the first one. i'll keep it for sentimental value, drive when there's no one else on the track, etc. future projects will be for full use. the next one is a Gallardo and i have some sweet ideas for it.... i also plan on creating a special edition full chassis set with all hop-ups installed including the limited edition body. what do you think?

How about a black one with the Dnano-green logo's all over it? Kind of like a Matrix-look with black/green?

actually.... the next joint is going to be a Porsche 911 GT3, sort of like the one owned by Ferrari

does anyone know of a source for martini racing decals at this scale? i'd love to make a transformers jazz porsche dnano. i've done this for the mini-z already. i made the custom packaging insert material as well.

Wow arch! You could almost sell that off as the real-deal! Transformers Special AutoScale series!

Maybe find some of the smaller Transformers and use their stickers?

What I found back when I was doing scale modeling was 1/43 scale was the most popular worldwide and there were resin cars, hopups, and decals you couldn't dream of getting in the larger 1/24-1/25 scales. There are even crazy kits out there to get markings from _specific_ races!!

Ya gotta be a little resourceful and be willing to order overseas as it seemed a lot of these places and cottage industries were in the UK and other parts of Europe. There are a couple cool modeling magazines from UK (names slipping mind now) and if you can get your hands on one or two just look at every little advertiser. Martini is a super common livery so it shouldn't be hard to find at all. I'll see if I can come up with anything as this is a quest that interests me as well.

OK, back after a search. This site while not having tons of decal pics, has good inventory it seems http://www.grandprixmodels.co.uk Be prepared if you go down this rabbit hole, it get's deep!! The people who complain about the cost of a dNano have no clue how much some have spent on details and hopups for STATIC models!! But, if you want the right "look or "effect" just open your wallet and do it, it is worth it for the glory

EXAMPLE: The paint alone for my Gallardo cost more than the body and fitting kit

Q'on, any new projects on your list? i'd like to see what you've got coming next.

i'm currently holding off on any new paint jobs... i probably should focus on selling product as opposed to using it all myself

valid concern but it's also good advertising

have you thought about offering that as a service? there are a couple on mini-zracer for example that seem to do well doing that. it's not going to pay the bills but it seems like consistent work for them.
