I'm going to try a car this time

[Bryan K]

Wish me luck. It's my first car. (yes. really!)

[Bryan K]

Had an old cockpit and wheels I made from another project that I am using for interior and exterior scale.

[tuna1957]

Good luck ! Look forward to the finish model.

[nlipovac]

Me too, looking forward to progress posts.

[Bryan K]

Thanks Charles.

Thanks Nermin.

[Mike Amos]

That's a very sharp concept you have there, the narrower rear track will make it go-kart fast in the turning stakes.

[Bryan K]

Thanks Mike.

I'm working out the details now.

[Bryan K]

Small refinements for now.

[Bryan K]

Some more minor refinements. Just working a little at a time.

[Bryan K]

A little more. Mostly working on the side and top.

I'll start of the rear next and then finished the front end last.

[Bryan K]

A little more detail for the rear.

[Bryan K]

More detail on the sides.

[Bryan K]

More rear end details.

But nothing is set in stone right now. You will also notice some more side refinement near the front fender.

I can't believe I've gotten this far in just 3 days! Just a few years ago this would have taken me weeks to months.

I should note that I had made the wheels last year and the cockpit I made was an aircraft design I was working on 3 years ago.

Still, I can't believe how fast I'm making the body.

[Bryan K]

I can't stop playing with it.

I did not like the rear. This is better.

[Bryan K]

All the hidden geometry. Lots and lot of triangles.

Also started on the front end.

[Bryan K]

It's working for me so far.

[Bryan K]

Fiddle, fiddle, fiddle. I just can't do a little.

Adjusting proportions and adding details.

[Mike Amos]

I think you are going about it the right way, slowly adding things until it feels 'right' for you. If it's worth anything, I would have one.

[Bryan K]

Thanks Mike!

More adjustments to come. I hate those headlights.

[tuna1957]

Your making great progress

[Bryan K]

Thanks tuna!

[Bryan K]

Ah! I just remembered. The Mercury Merkur 4xti.

[Bryan K]

Still working out the front end.

Widened the roof pillar. Hid some more lines. Changed the side window back to the other shape.

[Bryan K]

Didn't like it so I simplified it again.

[Bryan K]

I kind of like this front end. Maybe a little more refinement, but it's very close.

[Bryan K]

Some minor details left then choosing a color.

[Bryan K]

How does blue look?

[ntxdave]

While the blue looks fine to me, given the style of the car I would expect for it to have a little more of a spaceship look. This might be more obvious in a rendered view, Again JMO.

I should also mention though that I think the design of the car is really neat, eye catching and something that Elan Musk might be interested in building.

[Bryan K]

Thanks! I'm not set on any particular color.

Most spaceships are white, which works as well.

So, white?

[Bryan K]

Here is a white version with black trim accents. (and some more refinements)
