JMB Racing LeMans 2012 GTAM Ferrari 458:



The actual race cars i was trying to reproduce:



getting close to 100%...I figured out a way of getting a better paint on grille intake areas that i intend to try on my next couple. I'll have a lot of practice since I have a little over 20 whitebodies to do in the future.

Its been a while since I had the urge to do a custom since my 458's having held up to abuse really well...but I figured i needed to get the rust out of my abilities and start getting through the 25+ bodies I have (yes i bought more whites and I have some others in mind for future purchases)

This one is a mash-up idea i came up with. I wanted to do the Petronas Toms Lexus SuperGT but since Kyosho made it an Autoscale I couldn't very well make a copy of a car i might see at our local track.

I'm a big fan of the F1 paint scheme of the Mercedes F1 team and since their fuel sponsor is Petronas the obivous attempt to be to fuse the 2 designs together:

Cowboy's Petronas F1/SuperGT Lexus



next to do is a custom finish/livery on a Citroen DS3 for RFick73.

Looking forward to that Citroen.

The decals are from shunko models purchased from mediamixhobby. They have a bunch of different sheets meant for Tamiya model kits.

Thanks for the kudos.

I'm looking at starting Ryan s as well as 3 gt1 class bodies for myself. I have 3 LMP bodies to do soon ish but I want to do light kits for those to get some endurance "scale" for them.

What size of decals are you using from Patto's and others? 1/24 or 1/32?

Might look into dressing up some future paint jobs too.

When I order from pattosplace I get him to print at 1/27 because most mini z white bodies are wider than a classic 1/28 scale.

My others are pre-printed at 1/24 but I usually avoid using the color scheme decal and the sponsor seem to blend in decently.

The scale on the last body was 1/24. It doesn't blend too badly.

Finished custom for Rfick73:

Citroen DS3 WRC in Ryan's color scheme (decals from Patto's modified from the Xsara WRC) Just waiting to clearcoat....





This is the last client request I will be doing...my goal is to make it through the 25+ whitebodies I have and keep the ones i want and sell the rest.

Thanks for the kind words...again i make a body for Ryan that i almost want to keep to avoid it being hammered.

He certainly is no Sebastien Loeb if you get my meaning/reference.

did a new one for my personal fleet. I call it "Metallic Italian SV"





I've decided i need to build a photo booth....my shoddy phone camera skills don't do the green and red finishes justice.
