My first scratch-built models

really nice model

A real quick and dirty render. Colours may not be to your liking though?

Will play with this more tomorrow.

Thanks Rich. Looks good, but the front tire looks out of place, too far out from the body, and where did the tire treads go? I know I'm poor, but bald tires? I think I know what happened, you rendered the tires and the treads weren't modeled, just textures applied. As far as the colors, that's the fun thing about putting it out there, anybody can do anything they want to it. Looking forward to seeing what you can do with the beast. Right now I'm working on a Crown Vic version, will post it when it's ready. BTW, what renderer do you use?

I've modified the model a bit for rendering purposes - black gaps around the hood, trunk, doors and fenderskirts so they don't disappear when rendered. Also modeled the tire treads - this is kinda fun, although I'll bet it was a lot more difficult before the days of Joint Push/Pull. The biggest problem is modeling the side chrome, getting the various edges and shapes to stand out and be distinct. Also working to reduce the file size. If you want the new model, let me know.

As I noted before I don't follow the car models much here, but soon after I first looked at this post, perhaps the very next day, I saw the car in these photos at a body shop. The guy was just finishing his polishing. Seeing your models turned me onto seeing more around me. I stopped and took these shots, just taken awhile to get them off the camera. So regardless of who downloads your models, please keep posting, it's much admired and appreciated.

How does that Joni Mitchell song go? "he bought a '57 Biscayne, put it in a ditch. He drank up all the rest that sonofab***h..."

I hope you enjoy the pictures such as they are.
