Ford Cortina Mark 1

[nzjimmy2001]

this is my first car without the aid of a tutorial so go easy on me :]
rims are off a ferrari 430 and are just temporary.
there are definitely a few bumps here and there... but hey its an old car so has had a bit of panel work over the years. :] (my excuse)
about to start the interior components of lights but don't have any good reference pics... if anyone can help me out with some good pics i'd appreciate it.
cheers.

dont know the car so cant crit on accuracy, ther is a few bumps above the wheel arch but that should be easy to fix

looks really good man keep it up !!!

[nzjimmy2001]

accuracy is probably a bit so so... hard to find really good reference pics for it. yip those little bumps will have to go. cheers mate. :]

[DJP]

i thinks it looks great for your first car w/o tutorials and you didn't pick a simple car so I'm giving you props for that. don't worry about bumps.. sometimes they're really hard to get rid of.

[DJ CRYS]

looks good, and I like the wheels, keep going

[garethgeezer]

Great so far, I nearly did a Mk1 instead of my Charger so it's good to see one being done. A few accuracy issues here and there, I haven't checked ref photos yet but I think the back lights need to be a bit higher from memory. Looking good though. Are you doing the Lotus version?

[nzjimmy2001]

not doing any model in particular... probably more "lotus" than others but kinda been grabbing a mixture of models as good reference pics are pretty scarce.
yeah probably is a bit inaccurate... some of those curves are going all over the place and was pretty challenging for me... i was tweaking and tweaking so thought i'd move on with my life and start on other bits. won't turn out anywhere near as cool as your charger bro... that things a beast... something for me to aim for.

Nice mesh.
This is my opinion, new rims on old car? No can do.

[nzjimmy2001]

i don't know... i reckon new rims can look pretty cool on old cars. not sure these ones suit this car tho... i'll model some different ones soon. maybe i'll model some old school hot wires or something for it. cheers bro

[nzjimmy2001]

here's a test render. :]

[Prykie]

Wow man i like it, dont really know if the rims suit the old school car, but looks pretty cool

[garethgeezer]

Looking good. It's your model so it's up to you what rims you put on it

Here's a crit though - I think the return edge on the wheel arch is far too deep, it should be more like this:

[feral1]

model looks great, but I would change the rims, too new a style for this car.

keep up the good work

[nzjimmy2001]

thanks guys. crit taken into account... the wheel arch recess thing is too deep... cheers for that geezer.

[nzjimmy2001]

side on test.

[garethgeezer]

Nice. As you have the 'Airflow' front grille will you be adding the rear roof pillar vents too?

[nzjimmy2001]

yeah thinking about adding the vents... you can never have enough chrome
