Real World Racer : 2009 Lancer - Street Racer

[rcat]

Ok , I finally decided. I would like to have modelled a Jaguar XJ - DTM style, and I think it would look cool. But I dont have enough ref's or DTM knowledge to do a good job. So I decided to model a new Mitsubishi Lancer , (not an Evo), and will supertune it in a street race style. I think that will give me good scope for putting whatever wheels, bodykit I think is best. Will do concept sketch soon.

I hope DTM doesn't need too high skills, otherwise I will have to face an issue

Lastgen Lancer does look good, I think you'll do a good job. But never, I say NEVER, listen to Catlin for rims !

Ha ha I know what you mean.
DTM was very tempting , but all those fins and vents? I dont know man.
It's too tricky for me just yet.

rcat - I own a lancer, so if you need reference pm me.

[Lackes]

Nice Idea
Lancer always rocks

That's bad -you'll notice all the mistakes I make!
Ref photos would be a great help , especially lights/door handles/badges you know the usual stuff.

I definitely want a new Lancer for my next car , too bad I have a year left of finance on my current car.

Jumped in and got started. Tricky shape to get right.
I'll get the basic model sorted then start modifying.

Nice choice of car
I can't wait to see how this turns out
And you've started out pretty well by the looks of things

[tom120934]

Looks clean and already aggressive as a Lancer should be. Keep it up!

What,tom your mad i would never put dubs on a lancer

Also. to rcat...good luck in the contest i will be watching this to see how it turns out!

[rcat]

It will be not be so extreme , I want it to look much more aggressive than the standard car , but still realistic.

[chris20]

good start rcat. This looks to be a cool machine.

[rcat]

Much , much faffing about on the pillar section. Then realised a whole line of chamfered polies were wrongly placed and started the whole area again.
It's getting there though.
Spent some time thinking about alloys. BBS are the norm I suppose , but I really like these AEZ Excite rims I found.

[maunt]

Modelling looks great, as well as those wheels.

[rcat]

Thanks man , I was playing with the configurator on the website.
Decided these look brutal.
AEZ Phoenix Dark -

More work done. Just building the standard car first, then i'll modify.

[Krystian]

Ouhhh man, Your bonnet looks great but you should tidy up your mesh. You've got a lot of mesh errors. Try to get equal sizes of gap between each poly rows

[RedStar]

Maybe this will help you.

[rcat]

Thanks guys, crits taken onboard.
I continued getting the shape worked out. The bumpers are deliberately left plain as I am yet to finalise a body kit. There is no sideskirt yet for the same reason.

Nice work rcat. Looking good mate.
