x DeadTaco x's Showcase

Welcome to my showcase! Here you will find WIP's, Completed projects, Contest winners, etc. I will post designs from Forza 4, 5, and Forza Horizon (Horizon designs are no more). Also I will provide a description of the paint along with pictures of it. Enjoy!

WIP's

#1 Martini Ford Escort RS Cosworth


Scrapped
Car with a "D" Sponsor (i.e. Dusseldorp, Dunlop, etc.)
Started work on a Direzza Time Attack Evo X replica but might change to an original design or a Denso design.

Completed Works

#311 Clearwater Racing Ferrari 458 Italia GT3
In Storefront: No
My first serious design on Forza Motorsport 4. Made for Bobbo's Blancpain Endurance Series, and truly made me realize just what i could do in Forza, painting wise that is. So i owe my knowhow of painting now to this very car.


#70 SpeedSource RX-8
In Storefront: Yes (FM4)
Created for Live4xtc's paint competition he held earlier in the year in which this car placed 2nd, out of 2 (lol BadBoy was the only other entrant). Much emphasis was put on the logos of this design since there were many and also because the design does not really distract one from the logos so placement, sizing, and quality were a must for this design.

#46 Team Mola/Direzza GT300 Z
In Storefront: Yes (FM4)
My car for the GT300 Exhibition race (and the series based off of that race). By far one of my best designs in my opinion and this same design (with a different number) placed 2nd in the paint comp for that series.


#311 Yamaha Racing Scirocco R
In Storefront: No
My Scirocco R used in Othelion's Scirocco R series. My first attempt at a serious Yamaha themed design (as it is my main sponsor) and I think it turned out alright.




#11 Mugen/Motul Honda S2000
In Storefront: Yes (FH)
Used for the 2.0L Series with MSM. Despite the simple design, this paint won the paint comp for that series and is quite popular on my SF in Forza Horizon.


Forza Horizon Version

Spoiler:

#11 Petronas Viper
In Storefront: Yes (FH)
One of my better original designs. Winner of the MSM Snake Pit paint competition and also has received praise in public lobbies. Also some say *cough* bobbo, that this design would look better on an SLS AMG.


#11 Yamaha Boss 302
In Storefront: No
Another original design of mine that was done for the MSM F.D.C. Enduro series. This design has gone through many different phases, evolutions, etc but turned out nice in the end i think.



#4 Advan Evo X
In Storefront: Yes (FH Exclusive)
A design I made for the heck of it, and because Horizon has some rally elements in it, and even more with the new Rally DLC. Felt like it is a good design however I dislike the rim colour choice I had.

#5 Navi Team Goh Porsche RS Spyder
In Storefront: No (But maybe at some point)
A design I made for the R1 Paint Comp that ended up winning. Admittedly, painting Lemans Prototypes is not fun, so do not try it unless you really want to :p. I feel that as simple as the design is, that it came out well and I love the colouring of it as well.


#11 Matmut Renaultsport Clio V6
In Storefront: No (But maybe in the future)
My Clio for the Renault V6 Clio Cup for MSM and PNUK. Took inspiration from the #24 Renault Catalunya Clio cup car. I think it came out well and the simplicity works well on the car due to its angling on the wheel arches and such.



#11 Team Trial/Falken Tire Supra
In Storefront: No (But maybe in the future)
My entry into the first round of the MSM Paint Championship. Seeing how I have not done a drift paint ever this was an interesting paint to make and am quite proud of my work on this actually. Also the Bobbo is a witness to me saying that as well, and I hardly ever say my work well done .




#6 Vodafone Nissan Racing Primera GT
In Storefront: Yes (FM4)
Here is my entry for Round 2 of the MSM Paint Championship, the #6 Vodafone Nissan Racing Primera driven by David Leslie in the 1999 BTCC season. Since there are no Primera's in FM4 that i am aware of, i chose to make the design on a car from the same time frame (Late 90's-early 2000's) the Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-R, which also has a similar body frame and the base models share an engine so its likely they share a platform as well. Enjoy!




#3 SONAX Autopflege C-Class Touring Car
In Storefront: Yes (FM4)
As are the rules of Round 5 of the MSM Painters Championship, my entry has to be a painted DTM Touring car. My heart sank a bit upon reading that because of the pain those cars are to paint due to the odd body panels. HOWEVER, the Mercedes C-Class seemed to be a doll to paint and very few issues were encountered. So I present the #3 SONAX Autopflege C-Class Touring car based off of the original in 1994 (I believe). My actual entry will be tweaked a tad (adding my own name and the current DEKRA numberboard). As posted above this is in my storefront so feel free to download and rate (it's free ).




Scion tC GT Show Car
In Storefront: Yes (FM4)
I was searching the interwebs the other day and came across the Scion tC GT show car and thought it looked absolutely stunning, so I decided to make it in FM4 with my own little sponsor changes. Turned out really well in my opinion and I love the metallic undercoat effect. This car is in my storefront for free.




#11 Scion tC GT Show Car (MSM Version)
In Storefront: Yes (FM4)
I think this car is pretty self explainitory. The same car as above but with my name, racing number, and MSM Bull logo. I wonder why those would be on there...? This car is in my storefront for free as well.




#888 Red Bull Holden Commodore V8 Supercar
In Storefront: Yes (FM4)
So this started as a last minute paintjob for the Aussie Enduro exhibition race. And what that started as, became quite possibly, my favorite design I have made so far. I absolutely love the colors and the design work I did on it, and since it is in my SF, I hope you guys like it as well if you decide to give it a look. (Its free btw)




#33 Super GT GT300 Hankook Porsche 911 GT3 R
In Storefront: Yes (FM4)
This is something I just found while browsing the interwebs and thought it looked very nice and I thought this design ended up very very nice. I absolutely love the color combinations and I think it looks amazing . On my storefront for free .




#11 Alitalia Fiat 131 Abarth
In Storefront: No
My entry into the MSM 1980's Trans Am series. Based off of the plethora of Fiat 131's with Alitalia liveries, I feel this one came out quite nicely .





#11 KTM X-Bow RR Show Car
Shared on FM5: No
My first design on Forza 5. Based off of the KTM X-Bow RR shown at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Will be race in the MSM KTM X-Bow series . Will share probably in the future so keep an eye out for it!
