I show five illustrations in my files for Antonio Eiras. They include the 1987-8-9 McLarens, and two Toyota Rally cars that appeared in Race Car Engineering. Does that ring any bells for anyone?

Drinnnnngggg Driiiiiiinnnnng Yes I have the Toyota 4WD Celiica Turbo
I'll scan it ASAP

Fabulous info Ibsen !!
Great

The Lotus FWD another Chapman creation.

Obviously not a cutaway, but another pencil render, the original was a bit sharper than this soft scan! It is a satisfying way to colour a drawing, but probably not worth the effort now with the right software!

Spectacular. How many 'pencil-render' variations of this car did you produce Tony? And apologies if it has already been asked, but what was the context for this type of work?

excuse
i m a newcomer
this is my first drawing in 2d

I only did two drawings in this style, wp, this was just a small rendering asked for by Lola for Press use - it appeared in Autosport, I'm not sure if it was used anywhere else. I also did a 'ghosted' version of another Lola Indycar, which I posted earlier. This one was done between A4 and A3, the 'ghosted' one nearer A2.

It would be good to try and track that down. To see the work 'at work' as it were. I will see if I can find it.

Thanks for pulling that Eiras Toyota illustration from Racecar Engineering. Interesting to see some of these things.
Just went through that Haynes book and realize that I liked the Terry Davey later work much better than the early. I think I am going to have to pull up the book with all those copied covers and see how they scan ... don't have high hopes.

Which software are you using Pan? My dad is currently trying to get me into Cinema 4D, he spends a lot of time making virtual 'stirling engines' I'm not digitally inclined.

Acura/Honda NSX 'Artist unknown' (Possibly works) and Acura Takata Dome NSX racing variation 'Artist unknown' (Possibly works)

Tony , here is your drawing as it appeared at Racecar Engineering V3N5 1994



and Ford Thunderbird Nascar 1994 by Russell Von Sauers - from Racecar Engineering V4N3 1994



Ibsen

Aha Thanks, I'll look in to him.

Fascinating to see the work in it's 'working' context. Signature still present as well.

Just checked him out and was led to JAAA, he is really very prolific. However I was particularly impressed with the work of Hideo Mizokawa. Very interesting, especially the near vertical cuts. The McLaren looks like a partially skinned Shark.

I found that JAAA is a very good site for Japanese artwork !

This is a bit of a repeat post. I knew I had a larger version of this image. One of my favourite cars, this size makes a mockery of the 'thumbnail' I posted before.

Mercedes-Benz 300SL Artist 'Inomoto' (Thanks to ABG ) Annotation 'Stan Barrett?'

Marc or Ibsen will know - I can't quite make it out. I have never seen such barking-mad annotation. Pick out six totally uninteresting features and name them wrongly. Or seven and get one right by mistake. Where is the one that says 'Front of boat'?

Points of likely rusting perhaps?

Somehow I don't think that the annotation is contemporaneous to the drawing and may have accidently 'fallen' or have been 'spilt' upon the drawing at a later date.

'Area behind front wheels' has to take the biscuit.

I am with you on this one, because I wouldn't for the love of whatever know why one would want to annotate a drawing this way.
First glance I thought Shin Yoshikawa, but it isn't his.
We'll have to zoom and analyse the signature.

Edit I think it is Stan Barrett

Naaah, Headlight bucket....the line to the grille takes the cake

Yep, that makes sense. 'SBarrett'

i hope this question is for me
i use lightwave 3d
the r10 to drawing in photoshop
not pencil or ink but paths only

Ooooooh, I can't let this go too far
I was only throwing up an egg to see where it would land.......
I don't even know who Stan Barrett is

The name Stan Barrett sounded familiar, but it comes up for me as the driver of the Budweiser rocket Land Speed Record car which was built by Bill Fredericks in the last 70s. I doubt it would be the same guy ...
I have seen that signature somewhere previously, but am not sure I ever really made it out to my satisfaction then either. Don't have anything on this 300SL illustration, and don't show anything in my listing under the name Barrett. Will keep an eye out and see if I can spot the other stuff with that signature.

Beg to disagree.
Drawing is by Inomoto and the annotation is most definitely after the fact.

Al

Yes, I am very sorry for this bad joke, after I mentioned Yoshikawa I thought.... I don't know what I thought.. I am truly sorry for misleading you
We could ask Ksunshine if he'd scan it from his collection
http://forums.autosport.com/index.php?showtopic=122322

What? You mean you just plucked the name out of thin air? Ok, how about Burt Johnson?, Walter Tenemontt? or Phillip Custtt?

Yep, that's what I am going to do. Hopefully its positioning and the general shape of the letters will bear fruit.

I suppose I more or less did do so.
Very stupid of me, and I apologize once more.
It will never happen again.

It looked a bit like an Inomoto to me, it is difficult to see from that small scan exactly whether it is his style or not, I couldn't be sure if it was his signature, it looked a bit 'short', but the first letter is an 'S'. Obviously the annotation was added later, by someone who knows nothing. On the other hand, it could be a rare, early Stan Barrett. Only time will tell...

Hi, definitely not one of mine, but keep up the good work, I really enjoy this thread.

Stan Barrett

Yep, it must be Inomoto. I just zoomed into his BRM Type 15 and it is the same signature. I suppose the clue was always in the shadow. I have corrected the original post, Macoran has lost his credit False information and deliberately perverting the course of the investigation.

Yeah thanks Stan. I thought for a moment rather than being an early Stan Barrett, perhaps a late Stan Barrett? Turns out not a Barrett at all. Unless it was annotated by Stan?

Inomoto's I is a rather swirly one

Hmm? 300SL and BRM

I must have seen something somewhere a few posts ago ago saying I wouldn't make the 4000th post
Thank God, I've just got my collection of about 15,000 magazines from the home in Thailand which I won't have to look through
and scan.
Adieu

Blame Stan.

Well, Stan, I wish I had known that you were doing this kind of work when I dealt with Fredericks on the Rocket car. Of course, since the car looked like an aircraft that had been disassembled at the time, it would have been interesting to have to put it back together. Never knew any artists who actually did much super-high speed stuff, so it is great to have you here on the board ... even disguised as Tony Matthews.
I was skimming this stuff, and should have recognized that as Inomoto work, but never really looked that closely. Hate to have a discordant bell rung with a name, only to realize that you recognize the work, and the name ... not with any connection.
Think this could be considered a "Forest for the Trees" situation, as I should have recognized that 300SL from the Display of Inomoto's work that I saw and photographed. Interesting that I let this Barrett fellow slide one past so easily ...

It was pretty obvious that it was an Inomoto, but me being me I was more worried about saying "Yes, definitely an Inomoto!" only to find later that it wasn't, so I was hedging my bets by saying I wasn't sure! I am not the most knowledgeable contributor on this thread.

Stan Barrett was no use to me at all, don't know why I bothered to ask him...

Looks like an un-finished circuit layout...
