...or start something different.

i can't even drive one of these yet but it's just an exercise in pinstriping, really. go pinstripes! it's a rear view because the scaling solution i figured out came back with the nosecone in lo-res for some reason. adjusted it, had another try - it was the right scale, wrong colour, and the pinstripes were thicker righto.

i'm off for a drive

you should just google shark images, there's got to be something out there
you might get inspired and come up with something not-quite-what-you-had-in-mind, but cool nonetheless.

Correction - the other thread has the interceptor that the bronzes use, the black beast is the car that Max uses when he goes 'mad' nearer the end of the movie.

Haven't seen one of these yet - pity it wont have the supercharger in it

Been racing all day - set a new pb. Looking good whilst doing it being the most important part

Custom skins make you go faster!

Thanks Roadrash! You the man! I'll tell you as soon as I'm S2'ed.

Here's today's effort - a ficticious racing team with some experimental wrap-around graphics (just the pods and vents really - it's a lot harder than I thought it would be...).
I'm gonna put some logos on it, but so far I've hated how they break up the graphics.
I'm always open to suggestions though - *trying to think of companies that use purple and gold...

Sorry about that gatebil94 - I had no idea. The file is clean at my end.

I've never had a problem with imageshack before. I'll have to find another image server.

Here's one from Hotlink.

I'll be doing my best!

Not sure whether to make the cockpit the, well, er, cockpit - or have a painted-on cockpit on the nose area... but that might look a bit wack.

will do tests and shirt. brb

here's a WIP update for one i've started - the weird angle is to cover up the fact that i've only done one side..

I'll get to it again sometime when I'm not on the track, this weekend i reckon...

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone means a lot!

Roadrash - here's the link to the skin if you're still keen to upload it.

edit: link deleted

I should add at this point that I don't mind if people take it and edit it - doesn't worry me at all. Just don't take the credit for it

In the FBM I can't take my eyes off the track for a second! I end up in the wall if I even try typing a message to someone.

In the XFG and XRG I'm a little more laid back; adjust seat and pedals, and make sure the clamps on my wheel are done up ;P

I had another crack at it after some sleep, and yeah, I'm pretty happy with it now. Made more use of the interesting layered effect that featured mostly in the rear of the last version, and connected the bodywork with the circuitry to give it a more cohesive look.

It's got a really nice translucent feel, as though the body's made from clear perspex! Of course, that's what I set out to do... *cough cough

edit - Thanks Roadrash, but I wouldn't want to get in trouble when I'm soo close to getting a license. Just waiting for the bank to send out my new card!

Here's a skin I made up for the FBM

G'day!

What an awesome game - I can't believe it took me this long to find it!

See you on the circuit!
