Opel Manta (Rally)

[Ttuser]

Hello,
This is my second project, the first one i started (Renault 21) was messy with too many polies (badly placed) and not a great fun car to drive in reallife.

So this one should be a lot more poly-efficient (I hope) but I've not yet got my head round, texturing and UV mapping, so that might take a while.

The car will be an Opel Manta rally car (B400), I've not decided on class or specs yet, I need to do some research. So if you happen to know ANYTHING about Manta's or have any piccys, please post in this thread.

PROGRESS SO FAR:

3 hours work, back and side of car modelled in Zanzoza, working on front:


Any comments appreciated

Keep it up!

thanks guys, here's a little update:

I've started work on the front, the headlights/bonnet area is a litle more difficult than I anticipated because of the way the bonnet dips between the headlights, you can see what I mean in this pic:



Anyway here's the job so far:

Hey man, cool to see someone building a Manta.

I own 3 of those buggers

White, red and a gray one.

If you need some ref pics (interrieur, closeups etc), just ask me.

Nice start bro. Looks rilly nice with the poly placement.

Sorry to go a bit oftopic but @matth3w, are these cars expensive?
