Volvo Amazon (Updated 15/01)

[Johnas]

Just something that I've made today. One of the most beautiful car in the world

Sweet ! The Amazon sure is great

Are you working from ref photos ? or have you stumbled upon some unknown stash of Volvo pirints

Very sweet, but why do you start one project after another without finishing any? :roll:

WOW. I knew that you will model that car.




P.S. Merry Xmas to everyone

wow ive been waiting so long for someone to model my favorite dream car of all time! god i love the amazons!
this is my only crit, but im sure you know the front bumper should go more like the picture
but i also think you should model an older amazon with the older grille
i would love to make a hotrod version of the amazon, if you allow me to steal the model of course ops:

[Johnas]

Thanks Griimn for your notice didn't see it myself. I don't know the year of the amazon which pics I got but I guess it's from mid '60s.

i would love to make a hotrod version of the amazon, if you allow me to steal the model of course

Let me think about it. Well at least I'll finish this first. Though it'd be nice to see hotrod Amazon.

Testing some materials (car paint is made by KplEli, found it at textures&material forum) Rest is mine.

[Griimn]

nice color, looks very much like the original amazon paint!

[Griimn]

sry doublepost... i found a site with some refpics for you
http://hem.bredband.net/dussav/
also i found some minor things to correct

[NightEye]

Seen the real car today and watched it for a moment..
Comparing to this one, your paint is really a lot more reflective
Could be just that single car though.. But maybe not, maybe the real car just wasn't "waxy"..
I don't really know.

Lovely work though

@Griimn
Great pics you found and many thanks to you! Those help me alot!

@Nighteye
Thanks! I guess the one you saw wasn't just waxed too many times!
As you can see the pics in the link, the paint is reflecting also environment.

Well got to go to work now and continue at later day with this. I'll fix those errors and start to make interior.

Hmm. yeah think so

[rallydriver]

You are so good modeller.

Your cars looks everytime better and better hock:

[hartleym]

looks awesome! love the paintwork

[Johnas]

Thanks all!
The carpaint is made by KplEli. So big thanks to him :wink:

Ohwell... Here's update. front grills I remade. Fixed small errors here and there (though there's still lots of them ). There's some issues about the doors window rims. Every time I chamfer them Max crashes! That's why they look weird... :?
