The Theme LEC #52: Hot Wheels
Chosen by: @eran0004 from a suggestion by Nuschel

Short but sweet... Replica of a toy car's livery!

*I think the spirit of this one is to go for something that's not a toy replica of a real car!


Cars: Any

Body parts/Widebody: Any

Liveries: Replica, but of a toy!

Unique restrictions: None

Bonus picture requirements: Two shots of your choosing

User made/showcase decals: Allowed

General Rules
  • You are only allowed to enter one livery, you must have made it yourself, and it must not have been entered in a GTS/GT7 LEC before.
  • Chat about the theme is encouraged, but you must follow the entry submission rules below, and please avoid posting other liveries where ever possible.
  • If judgements are needed regarding the suitability of the entry, these will be at the discretion of the member that selected the theme.
  • Standardised entry photos and entry layouts provide a level playing field and the guidelines must be respected.
  • Do not edit your photos.
  • You may be asked to share your livery if shenanigans are suspected.
  • Discussion about the LEC format in general should be taken to this thread: Future of Livery Editor Competitions
  • Blatant disregard for either the rules, or the spirit of the competition may result in your entry being disregarded.
  • The winner gets to nominate the next the theme from the Theme suggestions list, or can nominate a special theme related to a real world event.

Submission Rules
  • Entries should be made in their own post, your entry should contain the elements listed here, no more, no less
  • 1) The opening line should read FINAL ENTRY, and make it Red to help us find them for the poll. ([B][COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 0)]FINAL ENTRY[/COLOR][/B])
  • 2) Two main pictures (Mandatory Pictures), these may not exceed 640 pixels in either direction, but ideally should link to a larger version. See Image Posting below.
  • 3) In spoiler tags ([SPOILER] ... [/SPOILER]) you may include two further Bonus Pictures. These also may not exceed 640 pixels in either direction, and can ideally can link to larger versions.
  • 4) The content of Bonus Pictures might have been specified in the theme, if they have, you must respect the requirements stated - otherwise they can be Scapes, race photos or screencaps from within the livery editor.
  • Nothing else is needed. Explaining your entry is encouraged, but please do so in a second post - this isn't regarded as double-posting by the moderators. Including anything else in your submission post only makes things take longer.

Mandatory Picture Settings
  • Mandatory pictures use pre-defined Scapes.
  • One of your two mandatory pictures must be a front quarter view, the other must be a rear quarter view.
  • Your two mandatory pictures must use either of the following locations (it doesn't matter which location you use for which view), "Pit Lane / Oita - Japan" or "Aomori Museum of Art / Aomori - Japan"
  • How to set up the scene:

Focal Length: 60 - 85mm
Aperture: f5.6 - f16
Shutter Speed: 1/60 Second
Exposure Correction: +0.0 to +1.0 (screen dependent)

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.

Image Posting
  • Images must be no bigger than 640 pixels wide or tall, and click through to higher resolution versions.
  • Images should be hosted ideally on GTP, via the Media section. Images hosted by Flickr or similar will also be accepted. Go here for advice on how to do this.
  • Do NOT use the 'Attach Files' function below the reply box when submitting your options.
  • Again, do NOT edit your images. They must be as they were when taken in Scapes/Photomode.

Deadline, on or by: Sunday, 13th July

Good luck everyone!

FINAL ENTRY






I made a replica of an old BMW I have in my small toy car collection. The year and brand is unknown, all I know is that it's made in Hong Kong. The goal of the livery was to make the car in GT7 look as much as the toy as possible, rather than making a realistic livery based on the toy car, so there are no sponsors, no decals on the side and I hid as much of the chrome details as I could, even painting the windscreen wipers blue to give the car as much of a die-cast appearance as I could.

Added some wear and tear to the decals as well, inspired by the reference toy.

That's a beautiful job and a great start for this comp as well.
 
I really tried to find in the "real" world a inspiration, I even annoyed during vacation in slovenia my wife and my dog cause of stopping at every place, where toy cars were sold. I just didn't find anything I really liked.

So when drinking something refreshing at the Slovenian Riveria I scrolled randomly through sites, when I found this lovely Unimog.

Vacation is done, the Unimog is done, time to get back to work!

Simply a Hot Wheels car I liked the look of. Hadn't made a livery for the Mach Forty despite quite liking the car but hating the standard paint job..

FINAL ENTRY



Thanks @MatskiMonk for keeping the door open for a bit, I really tried to make the deadline, but, er, you know... I came across a few examples of a matchbox gt40, and they all seemed to wear in the same places, this is a mashup of a few of them.



I put it on the Mark 4 because there's only one sticker, and all the gt40s in game have those big triangular vents on the hood which it didn't really work on.
