Ferrari Enzo from owners manual. Artist is unknown

A certain G Marshall owned a standard Twini that he had converted to Cooper engines - great to see what it might have looked like; thank you.

I was in discussion with Ferrari about doing a cutaway of the Enzo, after I had done the F300 and F2000, but couldn't do a deal. Pity...

Your owner's manual carvad ?

I don't believe him Marc!

The colour cutaway is by me, carvad, the B&W is a poor copy! I say 'copy' because there are so many areas that are the same...

Makato Ouchi

But I think it says "by Shin Yoshikawa"

Of course, I was referring Shin Yoshikawa.

it's very interest moment...
Tony, can you post your's Ferrari 250 GTO cutaway with signature?

hello, I am an illustrator interested in using some of these cutaway techniques. May you please elaborate further on the process that you have been kind to reveal above?

When you say drafting film, do you mean mylar or transparent acetate? I am assuming all of this support/base sheet is a transparent, therefore, acetate film.

And are both sides of the acetate used for image creation? How many layers of acetate are used? Is it just one sheet? Or several aligned, with registration marks?

many thanks

I hope you know what you are doing, carvad, don't forget copyright...or permission.

Mazda RX7 by unknown artist

I dont't forget copyright that is way I call the name of the artist. But, of course, I can stop share my collection ...

Inomoto, I think.

I can't find a print or trannie of the colour cutaway of the DB3S, so here's a bit of the working drawing.

The drawing begins with a 3-mil, frosted sheet of mylar drafting film taped onto a sheet of foam core board. The foam core board allows the drawing to be moved as necessary for best access to the area being worked on. The mylar surface responds extremely well to pencil. I use .3mm 2H and 4H lead in a mechanical pencil. The first layer of mylar is only used to draw the perpective grid for the subject. Once it is complete and registration marks are added, a new sheet of mylar is taped over it and the actual drawing begins.

When the draft drawing is complete, a new sheet of the same type of mylar is taped over it and an inking is made using a 0.18mm Rapidograph. ( 0.12mm for tiny bits)

Next it's off to printer to have a litho film-positive produced. You must specify that the finished piece of film is made as clear as possible since it will become the medium for the painting. At times, I've had to have two or three films made before getting an acceptable one.

The film is now flipped over (wrong reading) and taped onto a fresh piece of foam core board and the airbrushing begins using gouche. The advantage of the film is that if a mistake is made, it can simply be washed away with a paper towell and a touch of saliva. This process can can repeated over and over without anyone ever knowing you messed up. Generally, the basic painting is all done on the back side. When it is near complete, the film is flipped back to the front and fine tuning begins. Color and value adjustments are made without disturbing the core painting on the back side.

Additional layers of film can be added as overlay paintings as needed. For example, graphics, color schemes or component parts such as different engine covers.

Hope this helps.

Good description Tom, but still not a method I could have taken to easily! However, the common link is spit! I used cotton buds and saliva to erase ink errors on the drafting film working drawings, having found very early that an eraser doesn't do the job nearly so well. A large correction could give you a raging thirst. Good excuse for a beer.

I used to get sideways glances when I was cruising the Mother-and-Baby aisles at 'Boots the Chemist', looking for bargain tubs of cotton buds. How we suffer for our Art...

Ummmmmm.....Beeeeer. It is the same catalyst I use to give the painting extra boost.

I think vodka is supposed to be very good for sable hair.

Also promotes good, stable hand work for fine-line detail.

I wouldn't mind seeing a good scan of the Haynes MGB manual cover

or...........
an Allington !

Dick Ellis' Ford GT40
I don't think it was posted before this clearly.

Now this where Ibsen's fabulous index will be of great use !!

WOW what a drawing

You're new here aren't you?
Sit your self down and strap in, Start this thread from page one.

Mark,
The ford GT40 is "steel monocoque", not the "aircraft-style aluminium monocoque" as said on the text.
Only the Mark IV have "aircraft-style" aluminium honeycomb monocoque.

Ibsen

Ibsen, are you sure ??

I'll check but I can't recall any 60's monocoque in steel
Maybe there is a confusion with alloy monocoque and the later honeycomb based versions

Spot-welded steel. It was steel, and it's still steel.

Yes, Mark, I'm sure.
All prototype cars , prodution cars, GT40 MkIII chassis, the Allan Mann's cars and the Mirages M1 have "Semi-monocoque 024-029" sheet steel with square tube stiffening".
Only GT/110 have aluminium monocoque. Some of them (GT40 P/1083 for sure, the Allan Mann's cars and others) have the greenhouse (roof structures) made of aluminium to save weight. The Mirages have fibrerglass greenhouses.



Ibsen

Drawing by me.

I am convinced ! thanks
It's always good to learn or re-learn.

Ah, another new artist to add to the list.. ME

I know, Tony. Sorry to not give the credits to you.

This credit will be in the TNF cutaway index:

"Ford GT40 Mk I chassis by Tony Matthews - page 69"

Ibsen

No worries, Ibsen, I didn't expect you to know the illustrator. Jim and I did all the drawings, Jim did most, as he took the work to France and made a start while he was on holiday at his parents-in-law's mill not far from Le Mans circuit. It was the last job I was involved in at his studio - I left afterwards to seek my fortune... Still seeking!

Tony,

I don't know if you found your fortune but thank you for sharing the treasures you found over the years with us and the many race fans worldwide who enjoy your work one way or another,


Henri

A bit of work for one of our resident cut-and-shut experts, if they feel it's worth the effort!

Another bit of DB3S...

Drawing? Tony, that is a work of art!
