My 2011 Milano is nearly finished; I'll be working on it a bit this weekend I hope. Just have half the dash to do and all the insert details and buttons. The back end isn’t quite 2010 Mustang, it’s very similar but if you look at the shape it is a bit different.

Just got back from a damn hard day’s work, I work at Wanganui Motors/Ford & Mazda, doing Services, WOF's, etc. Its part of my work experience for the Automotive Mechanics course I'm doing

GoldenFrog · 26 Mar 2010, 12:19

Wow. Do you have to work there every day?

dmk · 26 Mar 2010, 18:06

yha i no the 2011 Milano's backemd inst exactly like the 2010 Mustang but its really close and like i sead the the other 2010 mustang on the warehouse have vary crapy tail lights. so yours is the closest/best looking. for not having a reliable blueprint of the car

Roguer1 · 26 Mar 2010, 22:07

I just work there Fridays, but I do the other 4 days of the working week at course.

Here is an update on the Milano; new 5 point surround sound system, work on the dash, updated tyres. Hopefully I'll finish the dash in the next few weeks, then I'll move onto basic suspension just for looks, then it’ll be finished.

Ben,

Those shots are fantasic. I always have loved your eye for detail. Keep it going!

dmk · 27 Mar 2010, 05:50

hay wat u think of my updated verson of ur trojan cobra gts its a street edition still need some thing tho maby some stripes or somthing. but i dont no any one got any ideas on what i should add?

Roguer1 · 27 Mar 2010, 07:01

I think it looks good, maybe just make the wheels a little smaller?

dmk · 27 Mar 2010, 15:54

ok i think it better now

BLANK · 29 Mar 2010, 20:59

Hmm, good to see the thread back up and running. I'm having a bit of a time management problem myself. IGCSE, 24H Nurburgring and Top Gear all on the same month.

FML.

Nice work Devin. The wheels are looking better now, just tuck the rear wheels.

Ben, don't think I'll be doing any SKP until summer, but my version of the '11 Milano is ready. I'm afraid it'll be without the interior - don't have time to work on anything other than some boring CAD of a museum. Plus, don't want to be the last one to upload one.

hey rouge i love your interiors! most of the time i make my cars and they look like empty shells with the windows colored black to not show it has no interior. I would love it if you could collaborate with me on that your interiors are great and i would also like to know how you make them. It is very vague in my memory something about you making a tutorial on interiors but i'm not so sure (im kinda lazy to look ) but if you could that would be awsome. Now about your cars i really like them i have always been a fan of your work but your cars always seem to be like very contemporary. You should make a car out of your comfort zone. Come up with some kind of design no one would come up with. Kind of like i did with the Pash i made (check it out on my thread.) it would be interesting to see what you can come up with.

Roguer1 · 30 Mar 2010, 03:44

Thanks for the motivating comments Ray.
I would love to help you out with the interior work. It’s very hard for me to teach someone how to model interior. The way I do it takes a very long time and it’s very hard. I do have a few videos on YouTube that may help you but they are pretty dated and only deal with starting off your interior.

I don’t really have a lot of modeling time. I’ve stopped all of my other projects just to get this done, so I don’t know how much I could help.

I really want to get around to some more interesting designs but I have lots of models in the way. I’ll get this Milano done next week, as I have a holiday week, then I’ll try working on some really quick models.. May need to refer to some of my really old drawings to get inspired XD

GoldenFrog · 30 Mar 2010, 13:07

Ben

I really agree with Ray about some more interesting designs of your own. I would love to see a concept design from you. Try a muscle car since you seem to like them.

dmk · 30 Mar 2010, 15:38

i also agree u should make a musle car consopet of ur own thats not based on the ford model line up

Roguer1 · 2 Apr 2010, 10:34

Yeah, I do like Muscle cars a lot but I think I may try a sports/supercar. I have a few designs in mind but I have already tried to model both, both with no results. Very hard to free hand model, especially with modern designs

Anyway, here is a little update on the model. It’s my holiday break now so I’ll be doing more work soon. Damn the small details are hard!

GoldenFrog · 2 Apr 2010, 12:43

Ben

Great progress. How big is the file size?

Supercar, eh? I say, go for it!!

RayOchoa · 2 Apr 2010, 17:19

You know its kinda funny... ur addicted to the muscle car genre and people encourage you to try supercars and i'm addicted to supercars and people (like you) have told me to try doin a more regular every day design lol every one has their strength in the type of car

GoldenFrog · 2 Apr 2010, 18:33

Well, Iduno, Ray, I haven't found my strength in modeling cars...
