    awsome. 😮

    To get the pic to go around the vehicle like that mate, do you start at the rear and move forward, or do you just start at the front and go around?

    thanks for sharing

    That one was designed so that the extreme ends of the mountains (Mont Blanc actually) were approx the same level, started middle of rear and joined at the front grill, where the vehicle obstructions such as grill, headlights etc. make it more forgivving for adjustment.
    The hardest part was to get the blue vignette to work properly down the sloping air deflector.

    That is incredible, the way the picture follows through onto the cab, superb. One of the best I’ve seen.

    Didn’t do the ”X Factor” buses did you Phil?

    I think it is just the headings mate… pretty sure they are trying to standardise them. If you check out the others you’ll see they are all the same.

    Just my guess of course… It could be argued that I haven’t a clue 😳

    No sorry, I havn’t seen the x-factor buses. I would expect it would be one of the bigger outfits, vgl, racoon, inchmere or perhaps action graphics.
