THIS MONTH'S THEME

We're reducing size this time. Last LEC's winner @MatskiMonk chose this theme which was originally proposed by me via the suggestion form. Let's have a quick recap of this LEC's promt.

"Models probably have been the start of a life long passion for many of us, be it cars, planes, trains, ships or robots. For this LEC I want you to prepare a livery sporting a model company, be it a promo livery or a full fledged race car one. It doesn't matter if you're chosing a brand of assembly kits, die-cast models or RC stuff, as long as it's a company focusing on scale models it's good to go."

CARS:
  • All

BODY PARTS / WIDEBODY:
  • Allowed

LIVERIES:
  • Original or replica designs

UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS:
  • Must have a scale model brand main sponsor

BONUS PICTURE SETTINGS:
  • -

USER MADE DECALS:
  • Allowed


GENERAL COMPETITION RULES

ENTRY SUBMISSION

  • The only way you can take part is to be a member of the GTPlanet forums. If you haven't created your account yet, click here.
  • Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text.
  • Unsure how to? Copy and paste the following: [COLOR=red][B]FINAL ENTRY[/B][/COLOR]
  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a competition.
  • You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
  • Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
  • Absolutely no entries which utilise edited/hacked file saves.
  • Winner gets to choose the following month’s theme.
  • The organisers may ask for the original image/livery and it must be submitted if so.
  • It's recommended to share the original livery online (in-game) to prove it’s your work.


ENTRY PRESENTATION
  • All images shall have preview images which may not exceed 640 pixels in either direction (main and bonus pictures).
  • You have to post two main pictures of your entry using the mandatory location and settings as shown in the quote below.
  • You are allowed to post two bonus pictures in a spoiler ([SPOILER]...[/SPOILER]) with free location and settings (unless the unique restrictions of the week’s theme specify something else).
  • You have to make one post with ONLY the set allowed number of pictures and the FINAL ENTRY (see above) mark. If you want to add precisions/background story/links, you are allowed to double-post under your entry, but please put all additional images in a spoiler. The best way to do it will be to "reply" to your own post.
  • It is recommended you host your image either here on GTPlanet (via the Media section), or on Flickr
  • Not sure how to submit your image? Here's a guide for both methods mentioned above.
  • Do not attach your phots directly to your entry post.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it; it makes poll creation much easier!
  • No post-game editing of any entry image is allowed.
  • Mark your entry with which platform you're on and which mode you're using, whether it’s taken on PS4 Base, PS4 Pro, PS5 Raytracing or PS5 Framerate.


MANDATORY PICTURES
  • You have to post a front and a rear quarter view of your car:
    • Mandatory Scape: S&Company East, Saitama, Japan (scape number 5)
    • Focal Length: ~80mm ±5mm
    • Aperture: f5.6 or f8.0
    • Shutter Speed: 1/1 Second
    • Exposure Correction: +0.5 to +1.0
  • Do not use any Filters or Effects at all and only the camera setting above within the allowed limits; the pictures are supposed to be as equal as possible for all entries and not give anyone who is a bit more savvy with the Scapes Camera an advantage! Try to stay as close as possible to how the video shows the shot to be taken!

NOTE: if you have previously entered, just go to Scapes > My Library > click your previous entry > Open Scapes > change car to the new entry, refocus and snap a new photo. No need to reposition the camera/car unless its proportions are wildly different.


Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, start a convo with me, Matski or any other participant you feel comfortable reaching out to.

PLEASE NOTE: Repeat offenders will be disqualified. If your entry doesn’t match the rules you will be made aware of it at least once, so please keep an eye out for any notifications reaching your profile.

I may just turn my ps back on to do a studio 27 sponsored livery.

How many here build? I do when I have time. Mostly 1950’s style Hot Rods and full Kustoms. I have som builds posted in the model thread lower down the main page, can’t remember the forum group name.

They're on a downward spiral these days tho, became very inflexible and hard to deal with.

But yes, @svenhjs666, all the companies you posted are eligible.

I also wanna stress again that it doesn't have to be a car model thing, Airfix, Märklin, Kato, Bandai and whatever else is also a perfectly fine choice.
 
FINAL ENTRY
PS5 Raytracing








Love model kits, especially those of military vehicles, like fighter planes and tanks! So this LEC was right up my alley!

I chose Revell because I tend to associate it with model making in general, but also because my first ever model kit that I had ever gotten was of Revell, though I don't remember if it was this Spitfire one or the Typhoon one.

I chose the Gr.4 Silvia Touring Car as a canvas because I could make it look like a NASCAR, with the Camry being a perfect candidate. I like the look of NASCAR's stock cars, and I've been meaning to make one, so this LEC was a great opportunity. The livery itself is meant to represent a table or a surface (like a dining room table) covered in newspapers, magazines etc., during model making, an all too familiar scene to those who didn't have a workbench or anything similar. It looks a bit messy, but isn't model making a messy ordeal anyway? :P

I wasn't very inspired when I saw the theme the first time.

I'm still not that much :D but I'm happy to see what you came up with, very nice liveries already! 👌

I'm gonna find something for sure.
 
FINAL ENTRY
PS4 Pro
AIRFIX TOYOTA TUNDRA DAKAR RALLY


I'm not sure how well travelled Airfix is as a brand, but in the UK it's been a staple in many a childhood. The main bulk of kits are army based so that's the route I've gone down. My initial idea was to do an Airfix Aston Martin Vulcan, using the camo from the AVRO Vulcan plane, the synergies were very appealing, however, due to the invite required for that car, it wasn't possible.

So I decided to do a Desert Camo theme on a potential Dakar Rally Toyota Tundra to tie in some of the Airfix Army elements, although with sponsors, the Camo becomes useless, lol!
 
I decided to go far in the "Model Maker" theme.
Taking inspiration of this environnement and in the real Traxxas Slash model.

I hope you will like it 😋

Good luck to everyone, very very nice creations so far !!! 👍
