Best Street/Race Competition #9 (No restrictions)

[mab_man20]

Welcome everyone to the 9th Street/Race Competition!!

The Street/Race paint competition will be open for entrees for two weeks and will close at Midnight October 31th.

Each month we will hold a Best Paint and Street/Race competition. If you can’t get your bodies done this month, don’t worry there will be plenty more to come!!

The winning bodies may appear in Radio Control Car Action or R/C Nitro!!

Restrictions: None


RULES for Street/Race competition:

1) Any body may be submitted to the competition (Truck, buggy, touring car, etc).
2) Any body submitted may NOT appear in another competition.
3) Photo editing the pictures (other than cropping and adjusting brightness/contrast) is highly looked down upon and may result in disqualification.
4) Anyone may enter a body (professional painters are welcome!)
5) Please refrain from insulting bodies in anyway.
6) Must fall within this month's restrictions (October restrictions: None)
7) Only 2 entrees per person.
8) Bodies should be painted within the last 4 months.
9) Bodies must be of a "street" look or be painted in a race car style.

Each submission must include the following:
Body manufacturer and size.
Paint used.
Masks used (hand or precut)
And of course, a body.

This month the great IntegraD12 will be judging the Street/Race paint competition.

Each body will be judged by the following criteria (1-bad, 10-excellent):

Detail (score 1-10) (decals, grills, mirrors, roll cages, if its on a real car you score points here)
Design (score 1-10)
Execution (score 1-10)


The photo and background will not be judged. All that is needed is a clean photo that clearly shows the body.

Each month we will place some restriction on all entrees.

November restrictions:
Best Paint-None any body is eligible.
Street/Race- None, any body is eligible.

GOOD LUCK

That must have been a lot of work using tape. Props on the fade.

[jediwalker]

1DVSRCR.....that's one of the cleanest trims I've seen in awhile, and nice choice of colors. Props for not covering over your line work with tons of decals.

[1DVSRCR]

THANKS.
I'm more into the clean street look.

JDAWG53, that paint job is awesome. It looks like razor wire, like that car will slice your hand off if you touch it. Nice, very nice.

[drifterx]

Toyotatogo, I like the 1/8 buggy rims on your GT. Looks like something from Ride
with Funkmaster Flex. I think everyone so far has done awesome.

[FCACMilan]

I like shinny stuff.:D

I think it looks good like it is simple is sometimes the best design. Just hope that the chrome dosnt peal and crack.

[jediwalker]

Wow "Kandyman" that has so much BLING I think I went BLIND!
:eek: Pretty cool, somehow you make it work...


Can you imagine a full size care completely chromed out like that...on a sunny day you'd run guys off the road it would be so bright.

[FCACMilan]

Is that also a carbon fiber wing I see? or did the bling blind me too.

[Kandyman]

Thanks guys. Yes, the rear wing, rear fascia and light buckets are cabon fiber. Forgot to mention that....

[PitStops]

Kandyman is it painted carbon fiber or decal? just curious.

[eliseracer]

Looks painted. The CF sticker's mesh is tighter than those.

[JGTCracer21]

Hey guys , I think i might have to spice this thread up a little bit

[KMac]

[TSR6]

Isn't this the paint competition thread?

Why don't ya'll start your own "Bitch about other members" thread off in the Off Topic? :)

Thanks!

[ToxicSoup]

I'd hate to be the judge for this competition. All of these cars are so kick ass! Great work guys!

I think it still would be a toss up between you and kandy man, there is just something about that car that I like. yours is pretty phat too.

[HauntedMyst]

That looks killer integra!

[PitStops]

Thought I would throw another car in the hat just for more to look at. I just finished this tonight for a guy at my LHS.

The masking is a combination of hand and XXX main flames

The colors are:

Pactra metallic red
Pearl white
Sprint white (backing for Pearl White)
Pearl gold (ghost flames)
indy silver (backing metallic red)

[PitStops]

here's another angle

[mab_man20]

I must say there are some absolutely killer bodies in this competition so far. Some are bordering on the street/race fringe so integraD12 please be sure to judge the detail part of the competition carefully. I will email you in the next few days.

Rahxephon.......really nice work. You state that the kanji characters are a mask but is all the background line work a mask as well?

[acidburn]

Sweet Supra :cool:

[1DVSRCR]

If anyone interested in buying my stratus at the beginning of this thread, it has just gone on the chopping block (ebay)

[Rahxephon]

Thank you for the compliments :D

Jediwalker, oops, I forgot to mention that as well, yes all the other background lines are also from masks I made.

I was hoping to take more pictures outside but as weather and conditions here in Southern Cali continue to deteriorate, I'm stayin' indoors for now.

I'm planning to paint one of those Tamiya Nissan Skylines similar to this one, what are your thoughts on this? go or no-go? :confused:

[Rahxephon]

BTW Toxicsoup, Yeah that series rock! I have all but one, I think it'll be coming out in November, can't wait!

Hey,Integra D12, I got a question. Why are you painting RX-7 bodies when your username is Integra d12?:rolleyes:

[1DVSRCR]

Thanks for the props wanchaiwarrior

microrcdude,
I sell every car I paint, I do it as a hobby.
they usually go on ebay or I get rid of them at the track.

[1DVSRCR]

I really don't know about first place,
To me it's going to be tough deciding between Rahxephon and the look he has going and JDawg53 with the clean lines and a design that flows with the car.

solely my opinion....
PROPS to everyone that has entered their bodies...

[integra d12]

names no matter.... and I own a Itr my name starts with a "D" and I race scca and use 12 as a #. I paint a GRIP of bodies no matter what they are. Lets keep the questions on the topic.

[seagull22ds]

Body:190mm Ford Mondeo Body

can I enter this?

[smartdriver]

sorry

[HauntedMyst]

Looks nice smart! Can you post a pic of another angle?

[smartdriver]

another angle

[smartdriver]

I was trying to get a concrete effect on the silver by fogging an erratic cloud of black and waving the body through it before applying the silver .looks pretty good in person ,also didnt get to airbrush any cracks in to help it look more realistic but will next time.I used all fascolors.

[microrcdude]

nice car!!love the flames!!

[PitStops]

wow threr are some incredible paint jobs. I feel for the guy sitting there trying to descide the winner.

[mab_man20]

I feel that 1DVSRCR's tribal body, TSR6's and Smartdriver's bodies all fall more into the best paint instead of best street/race.

If someone objects horribly to this or another body, let me know as I want this to be fair as possible.

[1DVSRCR]

No objection here mab_man20, my tribal entry was to get the creative juices flowing in the other painters and to bring on some tough competition.

[smartdriver]

"POST" raceday photo.....

[spenzalii]

Just for further clarification, what exactly constitutes the difference in 'Tribal' and 'Street' designs?

[mab_man20]

There is no real "difference" between tribal and street. My decision is rooted in the basic question "Would I ever see something like this on the street or race track?" For example, 1DVSRCR's first body uses the spikes which have been popular among roadsters for years. He took it a little further, but it still fits. His tribal flames are much more RC than a "real" paint scheme. I hope this clarifies.

Basic black... there are some nice rides in this comp!.

[1DVSRCR]

By the way, How long before the next comp starts.
I'm getting anxious.

Sounds like you've got a body sitting there screaming to be in the next contest 1DVSRCR. :D

That's ok though I am trying to get one done for the next comp as well.

I like the ultima!

[1DVSRCR]

PITSTOP, my latest project was inspired by your altima.
Nothing crazy, but the colors I used is what has me sprung on it.( I really don't know if it looks as good as "I" think it does)
I have yet to take pictures or see it outside as its been raining here the last couple days

WOW, I inspired someone!! that is cool!

Here I am thinking man these guys are such killer painters I love the work they do and my simple little paint job inspired someone.

(warm and fuzzy!!!!!)

Unfortunately I just saw the post for the new comp and my little street racer doesn't fit in so I will have to wait for another one.

you can check it out in another post I have on here.

its a wierd combo of colors but it works


it's going on ebay today

[jediwalker]

I realize I'm probably going to get a bad reputation as being a trouble starter but once again I'm obligated to give my opinion weather it's desired or not. And I first want to say this competition was one of the hardest I've seen and would be no easy job to judge for anyone...and for the most part I agree with the majority of your decisions "integra d12". But I have to completely disagree with the final score for "Kandyman". I like the scheme a lot but lets be honest....it's only 2 colors and aside from the carbon fiber fin it can be done with no cutting and simply some masking tape. I just fail to see how such a body could result in such a high score...no offence "Kandyman".

Lastly, I have a hard time with the large gap in the score between "smartdriver" and "PitStops Altima black and white". What I'm referring to is the judgment on difficulty. "PitStops Altima black and white" although it is a much cleaner execution and has a nicer overall design it consists of 2 colors and decals. I'm a firm believer decals are great for curtain schemes but should never be considered difficult.

For the record I completely agree with "Rahxephon" being the winner...great job man!...and to everyone for that matter.

I agree. I was surprised I was beat by two some-what basic schemes. I didn't expect to win, and honestly only entered for sh@t's and giggles, and possibly was even in the wrong contest ( per mab's post. )

I'm not going to dispute the winner, That is a pretty kick-ass body.

oh well, live and learn. Next time I'll put tons of decals on it. :p ...and I'll use headlight decals next time.:p

[spenzalii]

Next time I'll, um, well...Get an airbrush?

[1DVSRCR]

I just want to give props to all who entered their rides. It takes a little more than guts to paint something and then be judged on it when you think it's the best. (being high on paint fumes helps)
I don't look at these comps as anything more than a group of people sharing a common hobby, and an expression of what your tastes are.

Do I agree with the judges decision?
not entirely, but he was the judge and that is the way he saw it.

any gripes should be taken with a grain of salt, and hopefully inspire you to bring something new to the table.

GREAT JOB!!! to all that entered

[jediwalker]

1DVSRCR

"any gripes should be taken with a grain of salt......."





Very true....expecially mine:D

[1DVSRCR]

Not you specifically, but just in general:D :D :D

[Rahxephon]

I just want to say thank you for the honor and experience of winning a competition. It does take a lot of guts to paint a body and then have it be compared and judged by others. But then again, that is where the excitement is at.

Good show everyone:)

I wasn't going to say anything until someone else brought it up. After it was said, I figured it probably is best to voice this, just so that it can be used as constructive critisism for the future..

[smartdriver]

This was my first contest and I ddnt expect too much from a simple job like it was.
but I do have something working that will do MUCH better.
I did enjoy coming home and seeing positive comments about my work,and I thank you guys for that.

[Toyotatogo]

Hello? is anyone gonna respond to my question? :confused:

[mab_man20]

I noticed that, ill email integra and get him to give you a score (it looks awesome IMO!).


To end some rather sarcastic posts and clear up some details regarding this competition, this is the

BEST STREET/RACE COMPETITION

Bodies are judged from the perspective of being a street machine or a track hawg. Having said that Rahxephon painted one of the most beautiful yet realistic paint schemes ive ever seen and deserved to win this competition. 2nd place seems to be more of a debate. Im backing up Integra's decision 100% percent because he earned the honor of judging and within the basic guidelines he is free to judge however he wishes. Im not sure how many of you have painted an entire body with chrome, but it is rather difficult to get such a high even reflection over the entire body. Its not like spraying silver, there is added difficulty from using so much of it.

It seems to be a growing theme for people to question the judging. Do people think the system is becoming outdated? Instead of criticizing the judge please sit down and think of a way we can bypass your criticisms and come to a more "fair" judgement of each body.

[KMac]

Yeah!.......and do it quick so I don't catch a lot of he11 judging next month's contest! :D

[jediwalker]

First of all It's impossible to make everyone happy in any competition and like it's been mentioned before...it's more important to improve and inspire not to win first place.

But since I have contributed largely to questioning the juding lately (which for the record, I also agree the winner has every right to judge the next copetition as he sees fit....I just can't garantee I will agree:D ) I feel I own it to you guys to make some suggestion for improving the judging process. I purpose that every person that enters a car also has the option to cast thier votes for the contest ranking...but can not cast a vote for thier own entry. And with the understanding that all the votes are ONLY recommendations to the current judge to only act as a guide the judge could chose to help his decision or could completely ignore if he so desires. This way the judge still has the ultimate decision but would also see what the majority of the other applicates think. Keep in mind if you allow people other than contest applicates to give suggestions people could create multiple new accounts and cast votes for themselves.

Only a suggestion.

[Toyotatogo]

Oh okay i have no problem I was rather confused .....

[The King]

What is the comp for next month?

[wimmerma]

When judging just state for every competitor why his entry is good and what should be better.

So you'll get a quite good ranking. :cool:
