Project SG

219 just left my crib, and we got a few better pics of this car and his Fairsupralady Z 1/2 and 1/2 ride... still some experimenting to do with lighting and distances to get the pics right... I assume he will be posting the few good ones that we took later on.

I just want to say that pictures(at least these first ones) don't do this ride justice. It is pretty bad-ass for a dude who 5 months ago had never messed with anything like this to be able to come up with something this unique and nicely done. I hope the convertible project that I started on the same night(and am still doing shaping and ground effects on) that 219 started this comes out as nice as this did.

yea I'm guessing camera will never do it full justice, sounds killer.
I gotta see more of that interior, looks and sounds like it's gotta be dope.

Really nice! I can't wait to see the new pictures. What are you talking about 1/2 and 1/2 though? Is it that convertible waht you're talking about?

No, it's this odd half Supra, half 350Z thing that 219 did. here's the link.

Heres the other pics. I just finished taking over Bird's.

Like on the 1/2 & 1/2 I painted, this was done freehand, no masking.

Well I hope like always the pics get better.

Here they go, I hope the detail comes out a little better. Check out the "S" and "G" on the seats, its a bad pic, but I think it shows enough.

That interior looks pretty cool.

The pics are getting better, but I'd like to see more. Check this thread where Hue gave me some advice.

It's helped quite a bit doing it his way, but my pics are still a little fuzzy, I'm convinced my lense is jacked from my kid playing with it.

Thanks, man... it's not even my camera, but anytime 219 comes up and has it with him, I grab it and set up and start experimenting... I think I am on the right track, but need to try a different bulb in the desk lamp I use, and alter my distance a bit... the ones I did of the zz 'Stang and 'Cuda and the iWaver ones have been the best I've done... I was all the way down at the other end of the table for the iWaver ones...

What I really need to do is get my own camera, that way I can get it right at my own pace in my own time, instead of experimenting with my friends when he brings his.

Thanks for postin' that thread CD. I read it and it seems like I tried all that stuff, but I'm not giving up yet!!! I'm going to try again tonight if I get a chance. I want to post the best damn pic ever!!!!

....or at least in this thread.....

Edit>>>@ Bird--Let me know about a camera, every now and then one falls off a truck!!

Better Pic? Maybe not, but I think its still the best one of the interior so far. The sun decided to hide when I shot this one.
