Again I spent some time on Saturday finishing off the masts and adding other precise details around the rear of the painting. I am now aiming to add the main mast and other details around the front over the next week.

Just a quick update, just some more details added over the weekend especially around the rear of the boat with extra masts and cables. I have also started painting the main large mast at the front along with people……..see if you can find them, they are rather small! All being well I am estimating the painting to be completed towards the end of April.
More masts, cables and people added.

So here it is, the finished painting of Mika Hakkinen, F1 Champion 1998 & 1999. This will soon be leaving the UK bound for Germany to be with its new owner.

The picture below shows the finished image next to the other paintings of the F1 Champions of the Noughties. Michael Schumacher (F1 Champion 2000-2004), Fernando Alonso (F1 Champion 2005 & 2006) and the unfinished painting of Lewis Hamilton (F1 Champion 2007) To complete this range I will in due course complete a painting of Jenson Button in his Brawn from the Monaco GP (2009) and Kimi Rakkonen in his Ferrari from 2007.
Work continues on the painting of the Lanarkshire, I have no started to insert masts and cables to the rear of the painting along with more finer details. Again this is taking quite a bit of time and progress is a little slow but the end results are well worth the time and effort. Over the weekend I am planning on inserting the main front mast onto the painting.

With the start of the new F1 season it only seemed appropriate to carry on with the painting of Lewis Hamilton over the weekend. I have now finished most of the engine cover along with Lewis’ helmet and bodywork around the cockpit. I aim to start the work around the Vodafone logo over the weekend.
The painting of Mika Hakkinen is now complete too, a full image of this will be made available on Saturday for all too see.

After adding more bodywork details and logos over the weekend the painting is near completion. I have now started to add the track to the painting and I am aiming to finish this over the coming week. This is my penultimate post on this painting…….. all being well the next will be the final image.

Progress on the painting has continued at a very good pace, the front cab has now been added along with with other minor details around this area. Once dry I am aiming to move onto the front of the ship and to add more masts at the back. The painting is well on course to be completed by the beginning of June and so while this and the painting of Mika Hakkinen are drying I will spend part of Friday continuing with my own personal painting of Lewis Hamilton.
Now with front cab
Work has continued on the painting of Mika Hakkinen over the past few days. Most body work logos and graphics have now been added along with helmet and glove details. More work is needed on the helmet and front nose cone before the background can be added, at present I am still on track to have the painting finished by the start of April.

I spent the morning starting to add the front cab of the ship to the painting. Progress has been a little slow due to the details but certainly worth the time and effort. More progress on the painting will be made over the next few days.

First chance to do some painting after returning from Tignes. Have now started to add the logos and other details to the painting along with more helmet details and gloves. Once these have dried I am aiming to insert the front nose cone and bardge board details.
