So obviously the pandemic hit and club racing went on the back burner for me until the back end of last year. I filled the time with sim racing which has been enormously fun but now I'm back to real racing, my desire to get my old projects done re-surfaced. I came across the white body for this car in a tub in my shed several times and then had it under my monitor for another few months before finally plucking up the courage to work out how to size the decals and do something with it. One advantage of the last few years of sim racing is learning how to use Gimp so I took the excellent work that Leo had so kindly provided and then added some of my own touches. My first print was on waterslide. I ended up using brush varnish which I thinned but the decals were still very fragile. When I applied the red Microsol, they were destroyed and I ended up stripping the car completely, respraying it and then printing the decals on a sheet of peel and stick. It's not perfect but I'm mega proud to have actually made the car. I've also added the sim racing league on there (as that is my other creation that I'm proud of) and a couple of small WHO Racing logos on the rear quarters. A huge, huge thank you to Leo for being so generous and kind with his time to help me. It's really appreciated. [attachment=37982] [attachment=37983] [attachment=37984] |
