Some of my Cars

[turdmonkey]

Hi, I thought I’d share some pics of my cars. I haven’t sorted out the debug on my xbox yet, so they are taken on my camera, but you can see them ok. My cars aren’t as technical, or perfect reproduction of existing real world cars (except my police car) like some of the sweet paint jobs on this forum (props guys, some of those are very impressive and must have took some time!)

I am no expert on photoshop, and my cars are quite basic, but I did have fun making them so I hope you enjoy seeing them.



This is my Ferrari 355 Chalenge which is a tribute to the late and great Steve Irwin. I simply layered the car with a textured crocodile skin. It is very simple, but I think Steve would be proud. “God Bless Ya Mate!”






This is my F1 inspired B.A.R Honda “Lucky Strike” CRX








This is my Volvo S60 R, I was inspired after being pulled by the local rozzers for going a little too fast on my way home from work. I found some pictures of the livery of the local police force (South Yorkshire) and their badge. I set about recreating the car, and was pleased with the result







This car came about just after the Steve Irwin car. I was modding Subaru Impreza WRX sti and everything I did just seemed to look, well, chavey (a chav is a uk derogatory term for people of a certain tracksuited culture) then I realised that I should just go with the flow, and gave the car it’s very own “Burrbury” tracksuit. I give you the mighty Chavmobile.








This is a car that was inspired by the late “modern artist” John Hoyland. I went to see a retrospective of his work at the Tate, and created this car in tribute. It is a bit Pretentious, but like Hoylands art, it’s original and striking, and shows that there are no limitations to paint modding in Forza.


Thanks for looking guys!

Pretty nice cars, Burberry?....lol Vicky Pollards' car perhaps?...lol
Like Jake said though it is very simple to upload using the link in post options, which you can also add privacy to if you wanted, saves anyone 'half inching' you pic and posting it elsewhere and laying claim to your fame

yea...I thought the privacy would be a nice addition......... although I found out that its easy to go around it.........(since someone nicked my pictures........I had to find out)

you simply go to the qoute function......in there is the whole path to the pictures..........bugger!!!

so the privacy function is by far perfect

Is there a walk through anywhere, as I'm not familiar with the "link in post options" where are they? how exactly do i do it, and i'll give it a try.

hmm good question, I can no longer see the feature anywhere........although its still in the script.

It's gone?

OK try this way then mate
Upload pic to imageshack
Enable resize pics (640x480 is probably the best option)
Now you will be given multiple link choices, choose the last one


Make a post and choose the icon, from the tabs above the smileys, which is like a miniature postcard (bottom row fourth icon from the left) now paste your link in between the image tags.

I'm pretty much sure photobucket (where you upload to originally) has a direct link feature too, so just do the same as described above for imageshack.

Pics up now,

;DThanks joker!
