60s Contest - "1963 Marcos 1800 GT"
Here's my entry, a new attempt on this not-so-famous wood-framed light-weight brit car.
Here's my previous attempt with it : http://www.smcars.net/forums/work-pr...s-1800-gt.html. I've fully understood the rules of the contest, so it will be a brand new start, without any re-use of a previously modeled part.
Stay tuned for a real start

Must be a hard car to model. I couldn't find any refpics at all..
Well, almost none
Is this the same car?

If so, your model is slightly off.
Looks great eitherway

Thanks for your comments, gentlemen. Such words from talented artists like you are really nice to read.
NightEye, you're right, that car is really rare. I first read about it in "SportAuto", a famous french publication. Good refpics are hard to find, so fan sites and Flickr are good sources.
The picture you posted is a later version I think : some stuff is different, like headlights covers, side mirrors, lateral air intakes in the front bumper, door handles, and that double bulge on the hood. I'll try to stick to the original design from 1963. Please have a look to the following link to see the whole brand activity.
The Marcos cars 1959 - 2007
greenvampire, I really agree with you. There is plenty of entries so far with rare cars, different kinds of vehicles and great modeling. Nice nice nice !
Here's a little update : bottom of the front bumper, details on side of hood and on headlights... I tried to put on it a white paint, the shader still needs work but that color may suit the car pretty well IMHO.

It reminds me a Jaguar too.

Thanks guys ! I really agree with you, it looks like a Jaguar.
I've kept on working, here's an update with a rim and a placeholder tire. I'm not sure if I'll keep this rim design, because even if it looks like this one is the stock one, the one in the attached refpic is looking damn good.

The wheels you modeled look very authentic , but you're right , the wire wheels look superb.

Thanks guys. As I've already said, it's the second time I try to model this car. And my first attempt at rim was terrible, so I spend all the needed time to try to get it right.
If I can get extra-free-time, I'll give a try to the wired rims.
About the fastness of the car, remember it's powered with a simple inline 4cylinders, cubing 1800cm3 (so the name) and developing ~125bhp.
Here's an update, start of the side and windshield.

And just a little bit over the 120bhp of my Laguna II
Yet another update, start of the door. The whole side needs details, stay tuned for that.

Yet another update : more progress on the side.
Bottom at rear end is not complete, the same for the trunk. That's the reason why it looks so thin on the rear.

Very nice! But is it just me or the hood clip on the side seem to be a bit shallow?

Thanks et_fone_home. You were right, the hood attachment clip was a bit thin. I added it some depth.
New update, I'm really in a modeling frenzy  Better glass shader, some progress on the rear end.

Nice. It's getting right shape. Windshield shader looks a bit strange, I don't know, maybe is should be like that
