'69 Charger - General Lee

[garethgeezer]

I know some of you won't like this version of my Charger model, but I thought some people might like to see it, so here goes:

It's the same model as my standard R/T version. I want to make a scene for this one or render it onto a photo. I used a studio set-up for the R/T so I'd like to use HDRI this time.
Here's what I have so far, hope you like it

p.s. I can always delete the tread if nobody likes it, just say the word

NICE!!! What HDRI is that by the way.

Why could someone not like this legendary car?
By the way, I think the "AL" in "General" is a bit off from the rest (?)

Im a boot noobish in this catagory but why wouldnt some1 like it? Because of the flag on top or what? What does that flag even mean?

You've never watched the dukes of hazard before have you?

[RedStar]

starion - yeap i have but dotn understand why people would h8 that flag?

The flag is a symbol of the U.S. Confederation during the U.S. Civil War. The confederacy and the flag is now highly regarded as racism to some groups as the southern states favored slavery of african and african americans. That may answer part of your question.

note.. how xero says symbol; the confederate flag really isnt the flag of the confederation, its actually only a battle flag which they held .. during battle obviously, and for some reason it just stuck, and so people believe the battle flag is a symbol of the confederation


btw, your cobra PA/CB is missing the LCD display of what channel its on when switched to CB mode (cause i have one.. i know lol)

Can you show me on one of these attachments where the LCD display is that I have missed? Thanks.

Great gareth! I think it's based on your '69 charger?

[tiberius]

I agree, I think today this flag is mainly used as the "rebel" flag and doesn't refer in any way to racism, it's true that it represents the southern states though, which is the case with "the Dukes" aswell.
In the series, now that I think about it, there is quite an abscence of coloured people, but that also means racism is practically impossible, and the Dukes' rebelism is against the local police as well as against the local (white) criminals, so it's pretty much harmless and I don't know why you should be worried about it, geezer .

[garethgeezer]

LOL! All this fuss about the flag, I didn't even think of that. What I meant was that when I first mentioned I was considering doing a General Lee the response was less than favourable - oh no, not another one, the General Lee is awful etc etc - so I was kind of put off the idea. But as I have done the standard version I figured it ok to have a go at doing the General Lee as I'd already modelled most of it.

Pretty much there now, so these will probably be the last WIPs before I start rendering the whole thing.
