Just a quick update regarding the Mika Hakkinen painting. Last night I was able to paint the top camera and the engine cooling duct to the painting along with a few other minor body work details. I am aiming on Sunday to complete a majority of the bodywork, finish the rear wing, roughly paint in the helmet and (if time is available) start the front wing.

Work continues on Lewis Hamilton although at a slower rate due to the precise details and reflections on the car. I have now added the barge board and now plan to add more over the bodywork/vodafone logo over the next few weeks.

The painting of Mika Hakkinen has continued to progress over the past week and I have now started to paint the rear wing of his car along with adding the front left suspension and other finer body details. I am aiming the complete the rear wing and add the top camera/engine cooling duct over the next week.

A bit more work has been completed on this over the past few days. I have now finished adding the red and black sections of the hull. I am planning on starting the white section of the hull along with adding some of the finer details on the top deck.

Introducing “The Lanarkshire” a once grand vessel home to many servicemen and women, stationed in the Firth with the task of protecting Britain and its interests. The painting has been commissioned by my client as a birthday present for his fathers 80th birthday whom was once stationed on this fine vessel.
The painting is been created on an A2 Canvas and is again been painted with Oil Paint. The deadline for the project is the end of June and due to its size, details and complexity (especially on the upper deck) I thought it would be important to start it early.
To date I have completed the sky and started to paint the front bodywork of the ship. Over the next week I am aiming to complete the “red and black” zones of the bodywork before moving onto the “white” zone.

Some more work was completed on the painting of Mika Hakkinen over the weekend. I was able to start some of the rear bodywork along with adding the front left bodywork. Over the next weekend I am aiming to add the suspension wishbones along with the front wing.

Work on the painting of Lewis Hamilton continues at a steady place and so far I am happy with the surface reflections and shadows. I have spent some time adding more detail to the front nose cone along with finishing the front wing along with adding the first wing mirror and associated bodywork above this. I am now aiming to move onto the main section of the car around the vodafone logo with the paint brush.

More work has been completed on the painting of Mika Hakkinen over the past week. The rear right wheel has now been added along with further details on the right side body work of the car. I have also started to add the front nose and some other details. Once dry I am aiming to move onto the front wing of the car.

With a bit of spare time I had today i was able to add the front tyre to the front of the painting. I am hoping to complete some more on the front nose and the rest of the car of the next few days.

After a week break for Christmas and New Year I have made some more progress on the painting of Lewis Hamilton over the past day. I have managed to add some more body work at the front of the car behind the front wing and around the front nose cone. I will continue to now add the rest of the nose and other details before moving onto the rest of the body.
