  • Do we have any Mclaren f1 GTR Fanatics here?

    I'm looking for some reference shots for the Gulf/Davidoff Mclaren Ft GTR Longtail. It is my next detailed model car build. I'm trying to find shots of the under side of the car to get the colors/shades and/or CF detail correct. I've found a lot of good shots from around the web for suspension, engine detail, fenders, etc. I just can't find anything from the bottom side!

    Check out Jay Lenos Garage on YouTube. He has a few videos with his F1 road car up in the air and the engine out. I doubt the race cars are much different underneath.

          I just emailed an old buddy of mine who happens to be the head of McLaren in Texas. He has good relationships with the factory and sales teams, and race teams. No promises but if anyone can help it will be him.

            He replied and said he would email everyone on Monday and see what he can do.

                I probably have about 100 screen shots from that video now!

                  Well, work has now slowed down, and this is on my list to finish for the Showdown in March. It probably wont be quite as detailed as the Denny Hamlin car, though I'm hoping for fewer flaws!

                  The main body is in primer and all of the additional parts have the sink holes filled and sanded out and are waiting primer.

                  I am shooting from the hip on the chassis. Using a mixture of different CF patterns for some contrast and depth.

                    Base coat and "black" are applied. A couple of flaws that will need fixed, but I am happy with the current state. After reviewing TONS of pictures and videos, I found that the black, isn't exactly black. It has a brown metallic look to it in the correct light. So, I used a mix of Gravity Colors Lamborghini marone alcestis and anthracite black. It probably isn't going to show until I clear it. Next up is the fluorescent orange.

                        Orange laid down. I may try to cut out the orange stripes from the kit decald. They appear brighter than what I've got. I should have hit the areas with white primer before spraying the orange.

                          Did anything ever come of this?

                          I've got this thing pulled out of the brake fluid, cleaned up, and shot with white primer. I have a few spots that will need some additional clean up, then I can hopefully start shooting color again when the weather warms up. I've completed the majority of the paint/assembly work on all of my other builds for the Showdown on March 2nd. Now it is crunch time to see if I can finish this thing up. The PE detail up set is pretty extensive, though it looks like the majority of the work is in the cockpit. So, I'm going to try and get all of those bits cleaned up today and ready for paint so that I can start that assembly. If I can finish it in a timely fashion, I will have a shot at completing this thing for March.

                            Why was it in brake fluid?

                              I think he was trying to remove the paint to redo it.
