Starsky & Clutch

[mikeb]

Glad to see me again? It's been a while, but i'm back. I've got a whole bunch of nearly finished cars from earlier in the year & this is the first one i decided to start up & get across the finish line.

I did a Porsche ages ago. It wasn't top of the line, so i thought i'd come back & make another, the GT3 RS. This one having more of the immortal Porsche look.



The webpage will follow in the next few days..

Nice as usual, but maybe the front wheel is a bit too deformed.

The last few cars have had a very systemized wheel setup. Do you mean the whole wheel or mainly the base?

I've really sunk my teeth into the making these cars now, having put 31 on site, some i've made specifically for order & i have many more well on their way.

I think the cars with smooth arcing curves tend to look the best, so be expecting more old american cars.

The webpage is finished for my new Porsche, and it can be found here ..

Something i haven't done yet is a vintage car, maybe i'll give one a try..

Here is a special one. I've made this to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the James Bond films, the 1964 Aston Martin DB5.

This is one of my first renders and i'm still doing the finishing touches. Including the gadgets. More soon..



I am working on a slow camera passes video for this one as well (the best way to show off the John Stears additions)

My wife won some tickets to see the monster truck jam from the hard rock cafe.

So i went there with my family a couple of weeks ago. It was fantastic, 2000 horse power alcohol burning engines flying through the air, even my 12 year old daughter enjoyed it..

Of course this got me to thinking, i should make one of those. After a bit of research i have put this together..



This is a wip. Though i have exaggerated parts and sections the way i normally do before modeling, it's hardly visible that i've cartooned this guy. What do you reckon?

Hah, nice monster truck, the wheels are ready, you just need to deform the body a bit.

A tutorial would be nice !

[mikeb]

I agree, the body is already well deformed but i think it needs more..

I don't like your chance of a tut as i'm hardly finding time to make more cars!
