Thanks everyone for the very encouraging feedback. I used photoshop to 'paint' it. I've been using it for a while now and can get quite painterly effects with it using a graphics tablet. The great advantage however is that I can work in layers - chassis seperate from bodywork and so on. I have much more control over how much of the insides I reveal - also I can vary the liveries and bodystyles without having to repaint everything from scratch.
I've been looking into getting Giclee prints done - they're very high quality on lovely textured paper and supposed to last for 100 years without fading. The original is big enough for a good A3 print - I'll probably do a numbered and signed run - limited to 500.
The going rate for this type of thing in the UK seems to be £50 - unfortunately with the exchange rate at the moment this equates to $92 - would you find this too high?
I think there's still a bit more detail and tidying to go into it first though. I should probably chose a particular car and number too - at the moment it's not a car from any particular race. Any ideas for which one to do? I suppose it should be one of the Daytona winning cars from '70 or '71. I'll post some more variations later.
