Ferrari 60th Anniversary Year: Starter

[drunken monkey]

As you probably know, this is Ferrari's 60th year and over at the Car Modelling section, there is a massive group build going on.

So how's about it?
We have maybe 3 months left before the year is out so there is still time to get a drawing or two in before the year is out. Anyone up for a massive "draw every Ferrari" group draw session?

Personally, I'd like to see a wide range of cars being depicted and not maybe 17 Enzos, 27 FXXs, 11 250 GTOs.....
So if anyone is up for this signal your intentions here and I'll think about how to sort this one out. I might even have something Ferrari related to give away at the end of it.

I might be interested. I am quite busy with the commissions I have going on, though. If this were to take off, I would absolutely have to call dibs on either the 360 Modena or the 599 GTB Fiorano. Those look great to me.

[drunken monkey]

that's exactly what I was aiming for; pick your favourite.
Hopefully, we have some old school romantics here as well so we get a good mix of interests.
Pesonally, I'm tempted by the 250SWB or Dino 246GT.
A classic racer would be nice so maybe a 156 or Tipo 500.

If I do this then I would like to keep the 288 gto for me, please.

Too bad, I already started on the 599 before this post was made.

[Janeails22x]

Whoops. I have started one too! I have not heard back from one of my customers so I decided to have some fun and chose the 599. Dang it. Oh well. I'm not stopping. I need to build my portfolio anyway.

From here on out....no more 599's

What color? Red, Black, Yellow, Silver, or Blue?

wow I'm in too

[drunken monkey]

maybe I should've made it more clear,
if you're interested; make a note of the car or cars you are going to draw/paint/whatever.
Try not to pick one that has already been chosen by someone else unless perhaps, if you are drawing more than one car (hint hint to the guys above...)

I mean, 60 long years and more than 200 road and race cars.
Lots to choose from.

I personally can have fun drawing any of them so I'll let you guys pick your cars first. Incidentally, if possible make your decisions before the end of the month (convenient 3 month deadline marker) and I'll get to sorting out a proper thread for it. It would also be nice to try and make an effort to show your progress. Part of what makes this sort of thing interesting is that everyone works in a different way. It'd be nice to see other people's methods.

Probably not from my end for a while. I heard from my customer this morning (he is in Iraq) and I am going to be proceeding with his commission. I have the sketch done on the 599 and am ready to marker it up. I would like to try and get it done rather than start another (I actually like how the drawing is coming along), because I don't know if I ever will unless I have another down moment, and even then I will probably tackling a Mopar of some sort. If I didn't like it, I would say yes . Sorry for being stubborn.

If I get the time, I'll try a CAR-toon version of the 1940 Auto Avio Costruzioni (AAC) 815.
Ferrari's first car after leaving Alfa Romeo's racing team.
