Hi there,

Thanks to Cassio59 for providing the blueprints.
This model was produced in Brazil -- with slight variations -- from 1958 to 1967.

A somewhat crude beginning:

A little update with textures on:

Thanks for watching.

Thanks Icekid!

I reckon the subject is not very flashy this time... But the dowdy "Das Kleine Wunder" brings good memories so i thought it worth a model. :lol:

I have updated the textured images with door cuts and new holes on the wheels.

At first I didn't see this came from you, palat, and I thought "this must be some kind of student of palat"

ops:
Looks lovely once again, but the lights look a bit simple to me

Thanks folks.
Yes the lighting must be improved. In fact it was rendered with GI only.

An update with my lighting setup on.

...Do you have like 9 arms?...
You model a car like every day

!
Looks great as uaul. I'm not familure with this car, but to me it looks real accurate.

lol reminds me of a commercial here in the US with a guy who had 12 fingers I think lol , a dell commerical I believe

palat · #12 (**permalink**) 02-04-2005

ok nine arms will make eighteen hands, twelve fingers on each hand -- that will be uh 216 fingers. Impressive ain't it? :lol:

Updates. The grille was ashamingly easy. I created a thin rectangle, cloned it several times, rotated it and cloned again, attached all, converted to poly then rotated the whole thing to meet the correct angle. Next i quicksliced all HORIZONTAL polys into about 20 faces. Then i used a FDD box to curve it into shape and collapsed it back to poly.

Next the name badges bfore i get to the inside.
Thanks for watching.

Sounds confusing :lol:
But lovely outcome! Love it!

Sweet work, I just saw your website, and you know what its missing? The Tucker 48. I think that would be some super eyecandy if you ever did one of those. Sure its not as uncommon as the ones you choose to do, but Ive never seen one done in 3d like you do

***Johnas*** · #18 (**permalink**) 02-11-2005

Can't find any crits

#19 (**permalink**) 02-11-2005

No idea about accuracy or any bugs that i spot but i do see one great peice of work! Nice job man.

marvin · #20 (**permalink**) 02-12-2005

I dont think its the best youve done, appealing wise I mean, but I'm still dumbstruck at the quality of you work.

Could you please show a clay render of the finished version, so I can see the difference of your model to anything I've ever done?
