Credit where it's due - I suppose everyone needed a light-hearted entertainment after what's happening in the real world.Unbelievable what you guys are coming up with!
I guess I set off an avalanche with that theme – and there's still two weeks to go!
Be creative and have fun!

My bonus Willow Springs photo is so boring. Is there a thread where someone can teach me how to take good race shots?
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Had no shortage of ideas for this round, but struggled for a while to develop one that I felt truly happy with. Then, at some point during the process, I got inspired to do a Gerry Anderson parody livery, having grown up watching a handful of his Supermarionation shows (Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet) as a child. This in turn rejuvenated my interest in Anderson's work, and eventually I realised that the A80 Supra would work well as a lookalike of my favourite International Rescue craft, Thunderbird 2.FINAL ENTRY

All I can is you have great taste in TV, loved those shows as a kid!Had no shortage of ideas for this round, but struggled for a while to develop one that I felt truly happy with. Then, at some point during the process, I got inspired to do a Gerry Anderson parody livery, having grown up watching a handful of his Supermarionation shows (Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet) as a child. This in turn, rejuvenated my interest in Anderson's work, and eventually I realised that the A80 Supra would work well as a lookalike of my favourite International Rescue craft, Thunderbird 2.
My experience with custom decals is limited to text, numbers and basic patterns, but I was able to create a set of authentic-looking Thunderbird 2 'parody' decals using Photoshop and the fonts Eurostile Condensed Heavy and Nobel Black. Default shapes were used to create the stripes, windows, intakes and thrusters, along with lines across the roof representing one of Thunderbird 2's 'pods'. As GT Sport doesn't let you add fake engine assemblies, wings and thrusters, and the thrusters I created looked unconvincing, I then added default gradient shapes over the rear bumper to give the effect that it had been scorched by the larger and hotter exhausts.
I recognise that some on here won't be familiar with Thunderbirds or Supermarionation shows as a whole, but felt it would make an interesting addition to the LeMons crowd considering that this beast exists. Highly recommend visiting the official Gerry Anderson YouTube channel if you want to get up to speed with his works.
