So I've always wanted to get in on these challenges...and I'm a big Mad Max fan, so I'm going to do his GT351 Coupe... Its funny, I used to build this car outta legos when I was a kid and I always wanted to model it when I got into 3d, but never got around to it...I am gonna model the interceptor from the first movie, when it was still in ok shape, just a little dirty. Good luck to all!

awesomee

**nosh_dir85** · 11-03-2008, 11:38 PM

Alright, just a coupla hours work...I know there's bumps everywhere, but I'm tired and the hood was a challenge for me...

Please let me know about my topology!

**johnas** · 11-03-2008, 11:44 PM

Try to avoid those small polyrows, they cause easily bumps and are difficult to keep in order. Other than that good start

**Oscar** · 11-04-2008, 12:27 AM

nice start man, just it seams to me that the side edge is a bit to sharp...i might be wrong tho. keep it up

**nosh_dir85** · 11-04-2008, 09:11 AM

Thanks guys...yea the front bumper I smoothed out before I went to bed last night and yea, I gotta make the fender flare thingy smoother tonight, but I'm at work, so updates shall have to wait!

**nosh_dir85** · 11-04-2008, 10:57 PM

Alright...I had barely an hour to do this tonight, but I had to post something...Just the front end started and fixing some things...I think the fender may need to be even smoother, what do you think? I also realized that the replicas have the body lines seperated differently from the movie version. I am going to try to replicate the original as much as possible, but there arent many refs, I'm going off the DVD so far. Also, I now realize the front "body kit" looks ridiculus because there are no side skirts and no rear body kit. Anyway...here it is, C & C most welcome.

Looks allrite to me, quite dense mesh on some places but you seemd to get it flowing nicely. Keep it coming

**KMyers-MG** · 11-05-2008, 01:06 PM

great work so far.

**shilpinator** · 11-08-2008, 07:32 PM

looks greatttt

**nosh_dir85** · 11-09-2008, 07:28 PM

Thanks everybody, comments keep me motivated!

I been sick... but here's what I got so far...

Alot of Nyquil makes for bumpy mesh, plus some of the bumps should be there...

**shilpinator** · 11-09-2008, 09:54 PM

ooo nice progress

**Schwarze** · 11-14-2008, 07:50 PM

Looks very good, can you submit the blueprints you are using? Thanks

**johnas** · 11-17-2008, 01:15 AM

Any progress? Sofar it seems to come smoothly

**nosh_dir85** · 11-17-2008, 09:08 AM

I've been busy as hell at work, but I'll get an update tonight!

Edit: Here's the blueprints.

**KMyers-MG** · 11-17-2008, 02:45 PM

very nice work so far. can't wait to see more.

**nosh_dir85** · 11-18-2008, 12:04 AM

Thanks everybody!

Little update...Finshed up the front end except for the front directionals...Thought I'd duplicate the sides to see what it looks like...I'm pretty happy so far... Let me know what you think!

**nosh_dir85** · 11-18-2008, 10:39 AM

Got some extra time so here's an update... Got the wheels done...left one is front, right one is back...(hence the deepdish!)

**nosh_dir85** · 11-19-2008, 04:49 PM

Got the tire modeled...materials are test for now...The sidewall will stay the same but the dirt is just a placeholder. Let me know what you think!

**johnas** · 11-20-2008, 12:35 AM

Text on the sidewall is bit too big (?), tread looks very nice
