Ford Bondeo

........... and no prizes to those who guessed DBS, because:




I had a couple of hours off yesterday, so I decided to have a go at the REAL star of Casino Royale (and add yet another car to my list of projects lol).
Criticism is greatly appreciated, as I am modelling this car without any blueprints, dimension measures whatsoever. For now I am basing the wheelbase on the Volvo S60, but in terms of modelling the S60 is of no actual use to me. So grab your critic-guns and fire at me!

That is the Ford Mondeo 2007.

I've been following this car way before it was in J. The funny thing is people called it a focus. Its a beautiful car and it looks like a Japanese car. I wanted to model it but I didn't think it was possible without blueprints. Just look of the car I think volvo was corret to look up.

Thank you for your comments, guys

dbkenn: It is, indeed, the new Mondeo I deliberately omitted to mention it anywhere, just to see how many people would react - apparently not many did so lol
Having been a Mondeo-driver until recently, I would never tend towards calling it a Focus However, this about people mistaking it for a Focus could be due to Ford marketing the new Focus with clips of the Mondeo from Casino Royale (bad marketing trick, but meh, I am still loyal )

I too have been following the car for quite some time now; from the very early sketches of the Iosis concept to the production model, and I must say I find it to be a brilliant looking car as well I am glad you seem to like the model, too.

I should have some updates soon.

Here is a tiny update. So far I think it is going great and my model seemingly matches the real car quite well, if I may say so. Even so I am obviously still requesting criticism.

Anyway, as mentioned, the update is not at all very big and mainly shows some progress on the front bumper; which is, may I add, a very tricky one!
However, while being a small update, it serves another, more important purpose, as I am trying to find out whether or not it is really worth posting here at all, when dealing with such a trivial car and not a Enzo or a Skyline
