John Cooper Works' Mini Cooper S

Hi all,

It has been quite some time since I've been posting anything in here but I've been following this forum from time-to-time. This is my latest build.... a Mini Cooper S build for a friend for her birthday. She wanted a black and blue scheme so I give it a try with blue flames and borders. Enjoy the pictures... Comment and suggestions are welcome... :biggrin:

That's all folks...:biggrin:

Very nice paintjob. First time I see a Mini in these colors and I love it, great model

Awesome paint! I find the tan dashboard distracting though. Exhaust tips missing?

Corre: Thanks.

Ferrari TR: The tan interior was done intentionally...:cwm27: and the exhaust tip is not yet attached during the photo session. It was added afterwards before it was sent to the owner.

Looks fantastic. Are the flames painted or decals?

Thanks. The flames are painted, not decals.

Great Work!!! Those flames look amazing!!!

different look for a mini. but she wanted black and blue, so what better way than to put blue flames. came out great i think. very different.

Nice idea and the flames are very well done :bigthumb:

Its a beauty. Im still trying to learn how to airbrush flames like that. They look realistic.

Thanks again for all the comments guys.

MidMazar: I use a few templates with variations of curves and I just use it by randomly placing it onto the areas and spray using airbrush with thinned paint. The key is to spray randomly.

When looking at the pictures, stupid me read the text aftewoods, I was wondering why You didn't do the flames in a more natural color. Would look amaziing betweene the blue stripes.

Still this is one very nice model, and I envy You the airbrush skills.

Thanks for the comments. This is actually the first time I'm airbrushing this type of flames and I am actually thinking of a natural colour flame in my other build.

Hi,

very nice car - good paint-job :bigthumb:
