VW T1 1974

[Marco H]

This is going to be my second model. I desided to make my dreamcar.
So consider this as a beginners work. I know that many have built this car before but I wanted to do this myself for practicing-reason. Here the progress of my first day of work:

The Beginning:

Few Details added:


Bumper complete, First Tests with headlights:


Front slightly reshaped to make it mor acurate and door added


Side-Panels added. Windows will be cut in later:

Mesh is bumpy a little, but the shape is looking good. Could you show some wires too?

I got to agree with Johnas, mesh is bumpy but the shape is looking good. Keep it up.

[uBd]

Headlights're looking nice.

Lol damn.. shape looks like a good start but your refletions/material are just making me think I'm looking at a porcelain 1/43 model.

Thanks for the advises. Most are helpful and go into the model!

Todays Work:
- little improvement on the "bumpy" parts,
- modelling of sidewindows and Frames at the doors and Safari-Windows in the Front.
- removing glossyness for 5 % on paint-colors

Updates look a bit better, but to get good critique's you gonna need to show some clay renders and wireframe shots.

Here are a couple "problems" that I noticed.
I may be wrong about a couple of these, but hope it helps.

*Oh, I just noticed, it looks like the VW logo on the front is sticking out a bit too much

Thanks for your advices. The "bumpy"-area at the doors is my main concern. Still don't know how to solve that problem. The VW-Logo is just as wide out as it is supposed to be:



I already improved the "hard line" at the bumper, but I will take a look at it again (damn symetry....)


I will leave the area underneath the front windows as it is, becaue it is quite accurate. There are two bumps underneath the window-wipers and somehow the angle of my rendering gives the impression that the entire front is bumpy, but it isn't... You will see in further renderings.

Looks like the T1 they pimped in pimp my ride.
