Nearly finished dodge charger.

nice my criticism would be the engine on the head, it would be damn heavy and all, plus it need some pipes for the liquids and those small details therwise it's superb

Amazing job you've got there 8o. And that leather material looks real.

I know what you mean, I've tryed to only use real components to make the robot, crammed arms into the arches and stuff. I not sure about the whole engine for a head thing, but I thought it would be more interesting that doing your average gundam head (which I would struggle to hide).

good point about the pipes, I just realised that the distributer for a hemi motor in on the front of the block, I'm don't really know what will happen to the HT leads... oh well that's part of the fun I suppose!

any other suggestions for interesting head ideas?

[DrumBoPing]

[KMyers-MG]

Outstanding.. the only crit I have is on the "black" version at the top of page2 your tire map is backwards (lettering is mirrored). Awesome job though in everything!

[mpfive]

wow man, this is just amazing 8o

[garethgeezer]

Incredible, awesome, mind-blowing and totally inspiring. No crits from me, even if there were I wouldn't mention them as your work is so amazing

[Coaster]

Thanks guys!
Kmyers, well spotted on the backwards letters tyres thing, I've a feeling I've done that in other places too...
garethgeezer, please, if you do spot anything to crit then I want to hear it, I'm certain that by now, you know this car as well as me!


A small update, I have been using compositing in the latest renders, once you get your head round it, you can make all those tweaks that would mean re-rendering for ages, in the time it takes to move a slider in photoshop. the gif below shows all the layers building up then a few variations.

Aw man! Don't make me the one who finds fault with this beautiful creation :'(
LOL! Well, the only crits I have after looking at your model for a very long time are these (you may already have dealt with them knowing you!):
Two things:
1- The rear fenders have a seperate painted trim piece at the end. They bolt on so there needs to be a line in the rear fender to reflect this, or make them as they would be (I've modelled the bits as individual pieces on mine).
2- The side marker 'lights' are actually reflectors (orange at the front, red at the back). I think this has been mentioned elsewhere so you know this is the case, but as they are reflectors they are designed to reflect the lights from headlights of cars that are approaching from the side, say at a junction, so therefore the lenses are vertical, not aligned with the bodywork. Here's a WIP render of mine (excuse the crap reflector material!)

And that's it!! I'll keep looking but I don't expect to find anything else It's perfect even without these minor details. I love it to bits, please keep posting updates!!!

[DrumBoPing]

HOLY CRAAAAAP!!!!!!!

[Johnas]

Holy macaroni! 8o

Those are just marvellous. Don't know what else to say
