Definitly a killer-looking car hock:
Can't wait to see it textured.

nice modeling. I'm not feeling the design by good job modeling

[x-per]

Awesome

Have you modeled the venturi tunnels under the car?
If you have, can you post a pic on the underside of the car?

[NightEye]

Are those spokes tilted like airplane wings? Looks like it, and if they are, they are tilted the wrong way (they now (if they are tilted ) blow air underneeth the car, instead of sucking it away

Very nice modelling nontheless! 8o

According to my Tamiya model the car is pretty flat bottomed with just a diffuser at the back. There is a splitter in the front that transports air under and up through the wheelhouse and out on the sides ( ??? ). I havent don the splitter yet (and no venturi tunnels)

Luckily for me they aren't tilted I do agree that they look like they are (dunno why) but they just get thicker inwards, on both sides.

Maybe you are thinking about cars made for different games and so, those kind of cars people might give away for everyone to enjoy. But this is a highpoly project that I have spent (and will spend many more) many hours on so Im not going to give it away I'm afraid.


Thanks for the other comments guys, I can almost hear the engine roar too !
