I always take notice of a expert, Marc...

Three pills Tony ?

Time for another TC
B192

I always thought a chaser was simply a second glass of whatever the first one was? Message from "She Who Must be Obeyed" (the nurse), "Yes, medicinal intake should be done with sufficient liquid....................that does not mean a tall glass of scotch with valium!!" ............cheers!

Water makes me burp
Why would one drink water anyway ? Fish and frogs have sex in it !!!!!!
Sparkling water gives me a headache, the bubbles in my brain !!, I bleed my brakes now an then but not my head !
Tall glass yes, but who said anything about valium ?

Do not worry about what she says. "She" does not like scotch or Boddingtons. To become slightly pertinent regarding this thread, water is also the enemy of any drawing or illustration.

Marc,

the only other Benetton cutaway I have is the B193B by Bruno Betti



Ibsen

Thanks Ibsen,
I'll add in Terry Collins' rendering of B193B

and, last Benetton for now
B194

I spend all my day looking for this cutaway:

Benetton B190 by Terry Collins



Ibsen

We must be very alike Ibsen. I usually find what I am looking just before I want to give up.
..................So I have decided to give up sooner nowadays....................

Missing a post now...............I have looked but I haven't found anything on Terry Collins work after his Benetton series.

I don't remember seeing anything by Terry Collins after the Benetton series, Marc. I spoke to him briefly about twenty years ago, when he phoned me about an article in 'Motor' magazine about thr Betti brothers.

March Buick 85G. To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee - "Call that an intercooler? That's an intercooler!"

Jim,

I've come across your website a couple of times already over the last year or so.

Great stuff, and it's good to see somebody is still "doing it"

Cheers,

Alan

Hi Tom,

I had all intentions of finishing the Nissan rendering but work got in the way so I just stuck it on my web site and there it stayed! I actually met Kimble at his Los Angeles studio a long while back and it was quite an experience.


Jim

Thanks Alan, I actually came here looking for Tony, prior to his showing up! Kevin and I had been looking for him for a while. So cool to see all his art here.

Jim

Post #66 in fact Jim! I thought I recognised the monica, even though it was before I got sucked in - in the nicest possible way, you understand. Well, second nicest...

Really nice car from golden age of sportsprototype races!

You're not wrong, darky, lovely big cars! I don't know why but I don't get so excited about current sports racers, I don't think it's just me...

Detail from Ilmor 265E/500I engine cutaway...

I can "walk" into this engine for hours , just like i do into the Piranese's prisons.

Thank you so much Mr Matthews , it's such a wonderfull present to share a bit of your "tears and sweat" with us. If pencils would have a flavor , i'm sure i could smell it through this forum !

I would agree. My son bemoans the fact that he missed those years of Group C and IMSA. The battles of Jaguar vs Nissan vs Porsche vs the odd manufacturer was remarkable. I think the current cars are beautiful, but a bit antiseptic. I also find a bit more curious that until the past year or so that the old Group C cars were in many ways faster. The track record at the 24 Hours of Daytona is still held by Dan Gurney's AAR Toyota. They are faster by atleast 6 seconds I believe and it wasn't till 2007 that they beat the same car's lap record at Lime Rock. On a side note, that March with Turbo Buick power holds the track record at Sebring at 133.13 MPH.

Wickedly splendid drawing Tony! Are the lighter pencil marks on a separate layer underneath? Also, Do you remember how much time it took to create the drawing?

Tom

Hello Tom, how the devil are you? Thanks, 'wickedly' makes me feel, cool, hip or bad, not a feeling I'm used to. All the marks are on one layer, but the timing gears were done on a small separate piece of film for some reason, and this was slipped underneath and traced in ink, which is why that area looks a bit cleaner. I can't remember the time it took to get to this stage, all my old work diaries are up in the loft... the loft! Ooh, the flies, the cobwebs, the little old toothless woman with her owl...

Thank you, to my shame I had to Google Piranese, his work looks fascinating - I have always loved Escher's drawings, both for their strange but believable perspective and the draftmanship.

A female guest once stood in front of the finished painting of the 265E and gradually got closer and closer, refusing to join the others in the next room. Eventually she said "You can walk right inside that bit, and round the corner!" She was refering to a water passage in the head - she had no idea of its significance, just liked the look of it. It is gratifying when someone takes time to scrutinize a cutaway, rather than - as has happened on more than one occasion - stride past, give a fleeting glance and say in a loud voice "Euw! I don't like them!" In the days when I exhibited I was always gently cajoling those viewers that stood some way back "Come closer, the closer you get, the more you see!" and sometimes it would work, and a couple would realise that it wasn't just a collection of external renderings, but there was much more to see.

Just remembered that there were two 'underlays', timing gears and cam shaft/rocker shaft and followers, as the main drawing was getting a bit grubby.

Quite a few posts ago, there was a bit of discussion about cutaways with drivers drawn in the driving seat.
Tony even posted part of a cutaway showing a driver in his place of work.
In this one Sergio Baratto shows two drivers having a chat before they start on a run.


Amazing how Baratto has managed to capture the drivers' (Reutemann and Lauda) looks with just a few brush strokes.
Especially Niki Lauda !.......I find amazing !

That's a real novelty! You couldn't mistake Reutemann and Lauda - very clever. I wonder if there are others, Marc.

I kicked my heels in Hemel Hempstead for an hour or more today, the result was that I bought the Eagle Annual of Cutaways. Amazing - and a lot of them have figures, so many cutaways, so little time...

I've heard a lot about that, but never have seen anything.
The Dutch cartoon mag Donald Duck did a run of F1 car drawings a long time ago, I'll see if I can find them.
I remember they were from the year of the Arrows A1B, so I'll have to dig up the loft again !!

Ferrari 500 F2 by Betti.

Rondeau M371C 1981 by Serge Bellu



Ibsen

Another new name in cutaway land.........Marco Siotto his Ferrari 312 T2

Well done again, Marc - macoran and ibsenop, the bloodhounds of Cutawayland, tireless, indefatigable and heroic - I wonder how many illustrators, or people who wanted to be illustrators, there are who only ever did one published work. I'm not suggesting that Marco Siotto didn't do more, but there must be some who only ever did one...

BRM P57 1962 by Serge Bellu



Ibsen

Some stuff that popped up on google:

A Bruno Betti Opel Kadett A:


A Lotus Eprit. I just can't really read the artists last name.


Okay that's not exactly a drawing...

Thanks for all these new drawings!!
Just amazing !!

I think it is 'Dibben', D-M, I Googled the name and he is an artist/illustrator, mainly landscapes, left college in 1972 - and, most interestingly, is based in Norfolk, home of Lotus Cars! If anyone wants to send me a cigar, I will accept it graciously. But I could be wrong... I was going to e-mail him, but the site with his e-address was playing silly-buggers, I might try again later.

I have sent an e-mail, and am now waiting...I will be surpised if it aint him, if I'm wrong there will be a deer-stalker hat, violin and meerschaum pipe on E-bay quicker than you can say 'elementary'.

Edited to say the mail has been returned - address unknown, no such number, no such zone... I can feel a song coming on...but I've got a phone number I can try tomorrow!

Triumph Stag, not signed or credited in the story byline....but Vic Berris I am sure

Lotus 25 by Serge Bellu

My name isn't Ripley...but Believe it..or Not I had just pulled it out of my files to scan

Another Bruno Betti

Keke Rosberg's 1976 F2 TOJ (Team Obermoser Jorg) 201

Have all cutaway fans looked at the Essex and Thieme thread to see Tony's cutaway of the Team Essex Lotus hospitality unit ?

Sorry Marc, I feel as if I've been unfaithful! Do you want it here as well?

I was only checking if all cutaway faithfuls were following the necessary rituals, Tony.......post away!
I saw it first time on the 5th February this year at 10.29.

Anyway..........I'd like to introduce Bob Thatcher now.....with his Ferrari 555 Super Squalo

At least , if only one must stay focused......count on me

And yes , the Essex "Rolling hotel" have his place here , hmmm just my 2 cents.

While i'm typing on my keyboard , may i ask to everyone follwing this thread , if a cutaway of a Porsche 908.3 have ever been seen ?

I'm simply nut about that car , and i could offer a lot of.....consideration to the first one of you who could find one.

Have a nice day

Here it is, all blue, red and chrome - back then it seemed the bees knees, but nowadays, parked in any F1 paddock, it would look tiny and cramped, not so much F1 as FF.

Yep , the first impression at first view was.....blue !
Normal some should answer , Essex's colors wasn't made of green , but the "blue impression" is really reinforced by the cutaway , because all the sofas , chairs and tents.
And the red touches seem to be here only to make the blue more blue

My son would play like a mad with such a palace if only it were "playmobil" sized...
