Please don't bite here..but IMO i think you should stick with ur honda civic hotrod u paintedd not that long ago ( it was the best skin uve ever done and its really good ) and then work from that to do both of ur f1 skins

The F1 looks good, but in my opinion I think that the pink and white chequered patch is an Extreme acquired taste, I don't think it suites the rest of the car and makes it look a bit odd, if you want some checks on it I think it would look better if you only use one colour and make them a bit bigger and wavy (like my current bangers)

 

 

Its just at the moment it looks like you finished the skin, then released you have missed a patch and so thought "I know, il wack some checks on it to fill the space" sorry if that sounds a little harsh, but apart from that i think its a decent skin

I agree, it might look less rushed if you put you number or something over the top?

Samson, if you want to follow Rikard's advice regarding your F1 skin, you may find it easier to use the following cheques if you aren't already. If you want to make them wavy (assuming you're using Photoshop) go to Filter, then Distort and try one of those effects

Nice skin

 

The same goes for many of the cars posted on this thread, well done guys.

 

Personally, I find F1s and F2s the hardest to get to look good (and I've never succeeded yet ). I might attempt a shale skin at some point also.

Its probably easier for people who watch them more frequently to make good a job of an F1 skin as they are used to how they look and know what looks good on a skin from real life

 

The same goes for me, i enjoy painting F1 skins but i cant seem to do very good jobs with Bangers and Hot Rods.

 

Cheers

Agreed, I've only been to 2 F1 meetings (worth the journey). I see bangers regularly during the Crimond season, but I still can't do very good jobs of skins . Some of the banger skins are nothing like what I see in real life, perhaps drivers from down South spend more money on paintjobs?

when livewire258 got his real life car air brushed it cost from £40 to £80, he did mainly get his cars painted for going down south of the border tho oh yes better banger racing

its true sorry to hi jack the thread but i can paint a smart banger but if i try and paint a f1/2 it ends up looking like ive just stuck decals on it where as my bangers imo look real! maybe coz ive only been to two f1 meetings been o a few superstox meetings but cant seem to paint one any good! this was my smart car winning car from tnb's world final meeting '06!

[hotrod331]

doh couldnt edit top post heres an f1 i painted for offline use i quite liked it tbh sorry bout pic quality i only have the skin in game now so cant render it!

[grant]

that F1 looks mint imo

[Badura_Racing258]

Hot rod,

 

That's a very impressive banger mate. Probably the smartest banger i've seen on here in ages to be honest. It really does put the F1's earlier on, to shame to be fair.

 

Keep up the good work,

that f1 looks great

I think you're a bit too critical of some people's work to be fair....

 

[Dazza#289]

I can paint Both i still find f1's harder though Because imo if its not good i wont use it. But im getting there. I only have to look at pictures of f1's to get a rough idea of what i want. where as bangers i just make things up as i go along

 

[Guest robinh25]

Nah, i just don't like the fact that everyone gives it 'big licks' to something that is average. I don't understand it. I never said it was terrible, nor say you didn't put the time in, and your hard work wasn't appreciated...but at te end of the day, i just don't think somethings are what they could be, and should be. For instance, people that just fire on decals...that's easy to do. Slight differences in making your own sign, and resizing another made you can notice, maybe not obviously.

 

I liked it when Dragon came on and gave great advise and was straight with people. I honestly think that is lacking these days, and everyone wants to patter things up (not directly at yourself..) and get round an ok skin by saying its ' the dogs [b][color=red]FILTERED[/color][/b]'. Quite frankly, what's wrong with saying something puts somethign else to shame? Do you have to be in a special group? Do we all have to be nicey nice lovey lovey these days?

 

My skins are terrible, hence the reason i don't do them chap. My attempts are pretty dire, but when you work from 9am until 11pm with only a few hours break and a day off, it's pretty hard to do a half decent skin, and then...we all draw lines in different places, you can paint a skin, i want to relax...

 

I'll happily knock up a skin, just so you can mock me. I won't be bitter and twisted about it.

 

I'm just glad i'm not one of the two faced people about
