Mercedes Benz R107 (280 SL) [realtime 3d preview availible]

[screwdriver]

Hi there after some time of lurking and the one or other comment I'd like to start posting a project of mine actually.
So far I have been posting over at the Racer forums only so a few of you may recognize me from over there.

This is my 4th car model so far, but actually the most finished one. It's an old Mercedes Benz SL, the W107 to be exact.
It's a game model and therefore low poly.

Please crit-o-crit away, in case you can spot flaws.
Here are some pictures:



You can see some strange normals in the last two renders on the wind screen the rear lights, the rear bumper and the hood lid. These are artifacts caused by the renderer that will not appear ingame. I'm sorry for these.




If you want to see other particular places, please feel free to request. And again I'm waiting for some citicism, some soft recomendations what I could do better, than I did.
It would also be nice if someone with blender could contact me if he or she is willing to review the model entirely.

But before you start: The interior you see there is kind of a mixture between high and low detail interior - for the high detail version I'll double the faces used on the vents, the light knobs (left of the steering wheel) and the key hole. For the low detail one I'll stirp it of the switches and will cut some polys on the objects left.
I'm sorry about that little mess...

Many thanks ahead for the critiques.

The model weighs close to 8000 triangles as you see it without wheels. Each of the wheels weighs about 580 triangles. As I've mentioned before, I'll try to strip the major ingame model down to somewhere beyond 10000 triangles.

And here's the link to the wip thread over in the racer forums:
