Lego model : car #8448

[NightEye]

Hehe ok

Btw, I just checked the white colours, just to let you know if you didn't. The only parts which are white:
the seats,
the license plates
the dash + gauges,
and those uhm... these things three of them, actually.

hi, i really hope u will finish this, because i really like this lego model, so wish u good luck

[tom120934]

Thanks NazgulEye I've just changed the colour of the part.

Thanks for the photo p4vlik.cz, it will serve as ref for final renders.

Modelling for page 19 completed, render is on its way. The result tomorrow.

[NightEye]

No problem Everything to make this perfect
It's too bad I don't have my camera atm, it's kinda broken... Else I would have made some nice detail shots for you for reference
But here's 1,5 (yeah, sorry.. writing error sometime while transferring.. and without a tripod, sorry ) picture of my modified version A lot less modified than p4vlik.cz's though

You're going fast btw!

[p4vlik.cz]

why so hard searching? i get this from google i just wanted to know how the model looks, and its a shame, but me, a gr8 fan of lego, i never buy it lol... i have rather normal "oldschool" models than technics... i like them lot more lol, but no money

[tom120934]

Here's render for page 19 completed. More than 1hour to render it, 166818 vertices & 165814 faces (tri+quad) at the moment.

Thanks NE for the pics.

No prob p4vlik.cz, I don't own this one too. The models I owned (and now disappeared I think) : 8042 (offered twice for a birthday by 2 different people), 8094, 8851, 8852, 8855, 8860 (can be seen as a earlier version of the 884.

I remember to be fan of the 8880, but never managed to get my parents understand

[NightEye]

Oh, p4vlik, I thought that was yours

No problem. If I can get my camera back in time.. we'll see

Oh man, the 8880 is really one of my favorites Never had it though, but I had this huge poster of it Perhaps a nice idea for your next model?

Ah, the starting of the gearbox! Looking nice man

[p4vlik.cz]

lol NE i thought u thought it... -lol- well i just wrote to take it on the right path heh... about 8880 model... that was one of my dream lego box which never arrived to my home... i have only some low-rich lego products, nothing extra but lego was one of my biggest hobby lol... i think i will model smt too soon omg

Lol got that car too, although mine has been combined with like 2 other sets. Engine is 2 times as big by extra parts and it looks horrible

It's looking so cool. Keep up the good work

[tom120934]

Thanks for the nice comments guys !

Here's a render for page 23 (included). Slower work from now : end of holidays, back to work !

[darth carth]

well I think I spotted two bugs with the same problem, (red arrows)
at the front there is this T looking piece that has to be further against the bars
same goes for the rounded off pieces at the gearbox...
there is a space between the bar and the piece which shouldn't be there...

EDIT: NE is right it should be two next to eachother

a more clearer problem is circled in blue and explained above the drawing

also like in the previous one there is a connector missing (green)

anyway looking awsome and fast progress so far

[NightEye]

Yeah, as for those T-bars, there should be two next to each other
Those other pieces at the gearbox should be flush against the chassis.
But wow man, really nice work!! I enjoy watching this every update

[tom120934]

Had a closer look to the book, you're right, mens. Thanks !
Will dup triangles parts & move the others tomorrow. Will post a render (with maybe update) tomorrow.

[NightEye]

I meant to edit my post, but you already replied
Those grey thingies attaching those rounder things at the gearbox.. Should actually be turned 180 degrees, and be given a brownish look *nitpicking*

No problem


Oh, and you're missing the brownish things on the front too. Or are you at page 23 now, and haven't done that one yet? If so, nevermind

Yeah, nevermind.. you haven't done page 23 yet

[tom120934]

You're right yet another time. I've seen it when looking at the book but just made a mistake when building it in Blender. By the way, it's because they're this way that the rounded plate is close to the blocks.

I was not able to prevent myself from correcting it tonight. Render is running

For the colour, I wasn't sure when looking at the book so I used the basic light grey. Is it a light brown or dark ?

Page 23 not yet reached : that's my tomorrow mission (if I can get my mind clear enough from the football game)

[NightEye]

Allright, I'm sorry, this time I was wrong
The book tells them by a brownish colour (Like here) and I thought I could recall them being brownish.. But taking a look at my model, that proved me wrong

These parts, plus a few from the suspension (the wishbones, couldn't find them in the object list in MLCAD) should be that colour. But it's more a dark grey than a brownish thing. That's my bad

Nobody is perfect hehe so NE,dont be sad about it haha...lol...btw i like the work there ...i remembered my childhood

[tom120934]

Thanks for commenting, guys.
Only changes : previously spotted errors fixed. Next steps this week-end, I hope !

[clix101]

Looks awesome

[NightEye]

Those "0,75 connector" thingies (no idea how to call them not those black connectors, but the smaller ones) are a bit dark, though I think the colour itself is good (just a bit dark). And it looks like your right side is missing the one at the vertical round thing.. geez why don't those blocks have normal names?

Can't wait to see more
