Klaus and his Microsoft/Borg Collective Ford


Ptrope and his #7 Chateau Picard Dodge


Rattrap and his #43 Starfleet by Petty Dodge

 

[Ptrope]

Glad to see that this is a mostly-Mopar race . Although "Fusion" is definitely in line with Star Trek . It's fun to pick out all the little details and nods on everyone's cars - this would be an interesting-looking field!

I voted for B.J. - I get a kick out of the detailing of the body 'armor.'

 

[trampledamage]

I know nothing about NASCAR and this is my first wander through the Trek Art forum, so I know nothing about it either

But I liked BJ's Klingon cars, so I voted for them.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

God it's so hard to pick, but BJ FTW!

 

[B.J.]

My vote goes to Ptrope. I love that blend of Trek and real world!

 

[Tiberius Jim]

I voted for the gentleman above me, B.J. I love the hull paneling, the Klingon script and the color scheme. It really does look like a car the Klingon High Command would enter into a race. Awesome job by everyone this month, I was really happy and impressed with the outcome.

 

[BorgMan]

Yeah I got a kick out of BJ's ride as well. Nice job!

 

[Angry Angel]

Voted for BJ.

Damn I wish I'd had the time to make something, I really liked the idea. I saved the software anyway, might tinker with it in the future.

 

[Hennessy Badger]

Another vote for BJ.

(I'm not mad, I just thought the Klingon smilie was appropriate).

 

[Ptrope]

Congratulations, B.J., for hitting the finish line first! Fine piece of driving, there! Looks like the armor didn't slow you down at all .

 

[S'kai]

Somebody PUHLEEZE Photoshop all these onto a NASCAR track !

 

[Tiberius Jim]

I can do better than that.

Stand by...

 

[Tiberius Jim]

Here ya go

 

[B.J.]

Thanks for the win, guys! Sorry I haven't posted sooner, but I'm in the hospital with a sick daughter (posting from my phone). I'll get a new challenge up soon.

 

[Ptrope]

No problem, B.J. - take care of the important stuff!

Flux Capacitor, those look great!

 

[Kaiser]

anyone having problems saving the large versions of the first car pics?

when i do i see them squished when i open the files

why is that?

 

[Ptrope]

^^

No idea what to tell you on that - they come up fine for me. Try right-clicking on the thumbnail and choose "Save link as ..." (or however it's written in IE or a non-Firefox browswer ). Then try opening the image locally.

 

[S'kai]

Those are awesome FC. I wasn't sure what ever rendering software that created them would allow the manipulation.

Anybody taking bets on how long it takes me to Photoshop the Zhang Heng onto that track?

I actually just imported the paint scheme files into the game that those templates were made for, set the field to include only those 5 cars and set them off in a race. The game as a great replay function, and I took screen shots during the race.

kaisernathan, I'm really not sure why you're having that problem. What are you using to view the images?
