i think it looks too reflective, but the black looka the best in my opinion

Silent][Moebius · #42 (**permalink**) 10-26-2006

the brit racing green could be a tad darker imo.

nice updates. i'm not sure but i think the center of you rims where the lug nuts go is too small. i could be wrong though.

Thanks for replies, guys. Go on for black & BRG.

Yes I think the paints are a little bit too reflective. I'll also check the size of the center of the rims, as I still need to work here (bolts, AM logo...)

New renders will be published shortly, with front / side / rear glasses.

I'm also lacking some refpics of the side-mirror (I just saw a DB9 in Paris this afternoon but no cam on me to take some pics...) So if anyone have some refpics, or can take somes from its own DB9, thanks by advance !

i found some pics... i dont know if there are good...http://www.netcarshow.com/aston_martin/2004-db9/

Thanks for submitting these pics. Unfortunately for me, I already saw these.

What I'm looking for is more close shots of the side mirrors : the bottom part linking to the main body is a bit hard to figure out for me for the moment.

pick one

i hope there is a good pic somewhere that will give you a good idea of the questioned area. it looks like it's a simple edge with a seam. nothing more.

Thank you very much for the refpics, Silent][Moebius !
They're all interesting (except the second link which seems to give me a pic of a different woman each time I click :-? ). I will work on it in the next days.

More to come !!!

Linsen · #48 (**permalink**) 10-30-2006

Didn't look at the other ones, but to me the second link is quite interesting

.

Great work on the aston martin, btw.

Silent][Moebius · #49 (**permalink**) 10-31-2006

weird the 2. one shows a nice DB9 to me. but yeah you could compare the DB9 to a good looking woman

Linsen · #50 (**permalink**) 10-31-2006

I'm getting:

Chloé Sevigny
Nicki Hilton
A little monkey
that woman from desperate housewives
Scarlett Johansson
Some woman I don't know
Gisele Bündchen
Sharon Stone
and on, and on, and on ...

very strange

Silent][Moebius · #51 (**permalink**) 11-03-2006

alright here's the link to a big topic with tons of high res pics of all Astons. you will have to go through the topic and pic out good fotos. kinda weird that you get something else but the car :?

tom120934 · #52 (**permalink**) 11-03-2006

Linsen, I always thought the Aston Martin were pretty interesting cars

Silent][Moebius, thanks for the link ! Someone already gave it to me but it's worth a second look => Hey, you, just reader of this topic : you must follow the link SM posted above !

Anyway, here're some new renders with minor updates : beginning of side mirrors (missing the base plate for the moment), rear fog lights, proximity sensors, license plate (I just can't put one on the front, it will be so horrible

)

Silent][Moebius · #53 (**permalink**) 11-04-2006

2 things you need to go over:

the seams on the rear end are really not good. you can do better than that! they are either too wide or the fitting is horrible...

also check your rims. the spokes aren't really wide enough (or the edges are too sharp) and also the center part is too small. your spokes are also bent too strongly.

good luck fixing. i hope you can surprise us with some nice updates soon

tom120934 · #54 (**permalink**) 11-05-2006

Thanks for the comment, Silent][Moebius.

I agree I need rework on the rims. Sorry, but I don't understand when you said "the spokes are also bent too strongly". Can you explain it to a poor-non-english-mothertongue-man ?

For the seams on the rear, they seems to fit well IMO. So they must be too wide, I will try to reduce width ASAP.

To be continued !

darth carth · #55 (**permalink**) 11-05-2006

weel what S][M means is that if you lok at your rim from the side that the spokes come to far outwards (check attachment)

The car looks really nice.. and your model to

Silent][Moebius · #56 (**permalink**) 11-06-2006

exactly my point darth_carth

tom120934 · #57 (**permalink**) 11-06-2006

That was I thought but I wasn't sure. Thanks guys, I will check it soon.

Nice your AM tom

Let's go for after

I like James bond car lol

tom120934 · #59 (**permalink**) 12-07-2007

Back to work, now that the contest is over.

I started from scratch. Here's what I've got so far.

Doors and sideskirts are just placeholders. I think I will add details on each part before trying to complete the whole body.

What a great restart, not that the previous model wasn't as good. From what you said though, it seems as if this version will be more slow-paced and focused more on perfection as opposed to just meeting a deadline. Hopefully the rest of the car ends up looking as good as what you have started. Great work so far and keep us updated.
