Toyota Toyopet SA 1947

[palat]

Hello all
Meet my latest project.
(Thanks SMCars for the blueprints)

A bit of Lincoln Zephir, a bit og VW Beetle, a bit of Lancia Aprilia (the split backlight), a very peculiar Japanese design.
Exterior almost complete. Forgive the headlight texture, to be replaced.

Thanks for watching!

only thing that i hate is the reflections on windows

[funKa]

And a bit of Jowett Javelin too I reckon Another great choice Palat, love it so far.

Thanks for the replies guys!

They mixed and came up with a unique design. There are several interesting Japanese designs in the link provided in the Nissan Blueprint section ("Lots of old Nissans" it's called). There's a bit of everything, really pleasant browsing. I may model more curious examples displayed there (if i can find accessory photographic references of course).

i will tone down the reflectiveness on the windows, thanks for the crit.

Auto!...klidek
Thanks man.

Funny you mention the Javelin. I got the same comment in another forum. Maybe due to its puggish design.
But the sloping rear sidewindow is purely Japanese i guess.

Hope to post updates next week!

I've browsed those prints too and got many cars from it on my to do list

This car also has some cartoonish look too I think

I think the sloping back side window looks exactly the same as bugatti type 57's side window, so not really japanese design there either?

Awesome model. I have a question for you too. How many of these old cars have you modeled? I mean i see one pop up every now and then. I'd figure you're at about 30 cars total?

There's his website go check it out Bloody awesome cars and many good wallpapers

[palat]

Granted, not purely Japanese -- not even the sloping windows -- but definitely pure Japanese mélange.
Updates, i could not yet make out what goes in the hubcap center, so will leave it blank for the moment.
I think i have done about 27 models, but there is one still to be completed (the Ford 40).




And the wire:

I think you've overdone the 'carweight' on the tires
Other than that, it once again rocks!

[Johnas]

Yeah maybe little bit squesed (?spelling?) too much but the rest is beautiful. Just gotta love that little car

[kosso_olli]

Your choice of cars is realy great. I like these ones! Do you model cars that were made before WW2 too?

[palat]

You are right guys!

Not all cars are so heavy that they will need tires to be flattened and bulged on the bottom... I tweaked them and updated the above images.
@kosso_olli
I like preWWII cars too Did a Buick 37 and plan more.
