Status: offline 		nice job bcmorris, did you forget to paint the wing or did that on purpose? And venom_racing, I think that the RX-7 is a better choice. Although you can use that design on the the skyline since the skyline body is a little nicer

I do most of my wings clear. I find them incredibly annoying to airbrush due to their small size that makes them hard to hold onto. After I saw a racer at my local track running a clear wing, I thought it looked nice and decided to do that myself in the future. Next up, a painted wing and clear body.

Yes, it's a joke. That would only look slightly ridiculous.

Status: offline 		thanks for the advice, i like the idea of doing the blue,silver and white design on the skyline body. I'll print out another template and see how it looks.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the comp! Normally I'm a big fan of symetry as well, but I really like the two offset stripes. A cobra body looks great with the two symetrical white stripes down the center. I also normally work in odd numbers ... the blue being one element, 1 white stripe, 1 silver = 3 elements ... it's the graphic designer in me.

I think that's what's so kewl about this forum, is seeing how everyone does stuff differently.

Have you finished that body yet Venom???
