[Good old 80's] Ferrari F40 (1987)

[dppd69]

Hi guys, here is what I got so far.
The hood has been an headache, because of blueprints inaccuracy :? It remains to add the front intakes and the badge hole.

C&C of course, and enjoy the contest !!

Cheers Dario.

Looks clean so far. I'll be watching your work. Just make sure not to rely on usual prints because they show a too long front.

Updates...
As for the blueprints, I'm using a mixture of many different ones , trying to avoid the "long" nose.

Cheers & good night
Dario

It starts to be a good level of detail. Keep it up that way.

Another update.
Fixed a lot of small errors and started a little paint test to show bumps. Now I'm very happy with it.
Stop for this year, see you in 2008 8o...
Happy New Year's Eve to all of you !!

Cheers Dario

Nice update, but I think you could sharpen all your edges a little more. Keep it going !

[dppd69]

Updates again. Fixed edges, added headlights and rims.
The materials are in test phase, so crit to help me improving them.

Cheers, Dario

The paint is not exactly rosso corsa. Otherwise it looks as it should be.
The headlight materials (both white and orange) needs to be more shiny, they're too pale as of now.

You should add a sidewall bumpmap to your tire. To match the quality level of your model, you'll also have to model the thread : a simple bumpmap won't do the job.

You have a small bump below the side air intake.
The inner corners of this air intake should also be sharper.
You have to add a black grid in the 3 air intakes.
Also, a small black lip is missing, at the very bottom of bumper.

Keep it up, you're doing well.

Thanks tom, all of what you've spotted is already in my blacklist
And I miss your refpic (very useful, btw) !!
As for the sidewall & tread, the tire is at wip stage, just a placeholder for the rim (95% done).
Your comments are very precious as usual, and it's way much easier to model with such a contribute.

Updates soon,
Cheers, Dario

Thanks Goggggle for the refpic, it's just the image search feature, seeking for "large images".
