Nissan GT-R 35 (2009 version)

[Kangal]

Thank u Ben.
No, i haven't because i want to do the headlights before, then i'll see how to do it. I alredy know it will be a pain to do the headlights, i'd like to use some pics of your GT-R as reference just to have the clear shape since i didn't understand yet how they are in details. I'm not finding good photos of them, have u any?

[PBenjamim]

There are loads of headlights references around, don't know how you can't find them. Here's a few I had on my folder.

[Kangal]

Thank u so much, dunno why but my researches haven't been so lucky.

[Kangal]

Upgrades, some details and fillets on the back. Just a shaded screen capture.

[popoff]

wooowww ... congrats for the amazing model dear rhino colleague!

[Kangal]

Thank u very much.

Anyway, i'm starting to create some details. These are the brakes. I've had no time to render them, so there are some shaded captures only at the moment, maybe tomorrow.

[Kangal]

Brakes rendered.

[Kangal]

Finished wheels and brakes. Now i can keep on the car, lot of stuff to do still.

[Kangal]

Last render of the wheel with a better quality output before to keep on the car and cropped rim for Dubai and Emirates' market...

[Kangal]

Trying to do my best to finish the car. Here are some updates, the spoiler and headlights/tail lights glasses are provvisory ofc. I've to do lot of stuff still (like the side windows for example, GT-R logos, side vents, side skirts, lights, hood vents, many seams and so on).

[PBenjamim]

The seams on the doors and hood and way big. Maybe 1/2 or even 1/3 of the size. Rest is good.

[Kangal]

I think just the same thing. To be honest, when i cutted those surfaces i've thought that very often modelers do the seams so little as practically they're invisible, then i've done them bigger but i've exceeded alot. Actually i don't know if i can fix it without visible creases.
Thanks for the feedback by the way.

[Kangal]

Nah, i can't fix it in a smooth way. It's a pity because the car isn't so bad and i did a very stupid error, i mean, just one of the easiest parts.
I'm afraid i've to abandone it since i don't like to keep on a project with a very visible issue like that.
By the way, i'm pretty satisfied because i'm acquiring experience , i've learnt alot doing this car and i've seen that the feedbacks i've received have been extremely useful.
I'm already thinking about the next car hopefully to do not bore anyone with my several posts and Wips.
There are lot of cars i'd like to try and draw, Fiat 500 (old), BMW M5 E60 (G-Power Hurricane would be amazing to do), Lancer Evo VI, and others. Any suggestions?

Resuming, i've decided to leave this project at the 85% of its development, but i'm happy to be improved.
Surely i'll not wrong the seams on the next car, maybe other things but not the seams
My wish is to use one of the wonderful SMcars HDRI on the next car, but i need to do a good job to valorize such environments, so i can't present this GT-R. I'm sure the next car will be better and maybe worthy to be placed in a SMcars environment

Last thing, thanks to the SMcars staff and all the users to keep alive this wonderful site, allowing me to improve and maybe to reach a decent level. When i've started to model 18 months ago, i were frustrated looking at some great works here, now, unlike the past, i'm inspired by great professionals like Duron, Exidge, 211, Dave , Salim, Beacon1, Raduteo, Shaeft, Nasg, Red Star, Volatile Vertex , and 20 others at least (i ask sorry but i can't remember everyone).

Anyway...i'm going to place some new blueprints on my Rhino even if i don't know yet exactly which ones...anyway... c u soon
