      Hey Jim,

      Good to hear from you. Thanks for the kind words. Yep, I are sick, don't know about the other part tho. I never know how much time I have invested in a model, I bounce back and forth between models, never start one and just finish it. Although I figure I have probably twice as much time in each one as someone who can take advantage of the plugins like Subdivide and Smooth and Artisan. Just can't get them to work for me, which is unfortunate because they would come in really handy for all the curved surfaces I have to make. I keep messing about with them tho, and someday that magic lightbulb is gonna click on over my head ☀ and I'll have that elusive "Ah Ha!" moment. Someday.

        that's really really nice Steve. Now give that model a nice background and image treatment 😉

        And the secret for understanding the subdivide plugins is having a good basic topology, once you have that you can predict how the model is going to turn out once you subdivide it

        Regards

          Steve,
          I have to do the line at a time thing to. Very time consuming.
          Did you download the '32 from google docs?
          Just saw your new roadster - Sweet. Because the car is so small any abrupt change in contour will cause a lumpy effect. Might try making the side (vent) indentations shallower???

            Thanks David.
            Oddly enuf, the only time Subdivide and Smooth worked for me was the very first time I used it, on the front fenders of my '40 Ford. Ever since then it's usually turned the object into a piece of abstract art. I often get those error messages, telling me that the area needing attention has been highlighted. No problem, easy to fix, except sometimes I cannot even find the "highlighted" area, no matter how much I search. Nothing. Frustrating.

            Not sure what you mean by "image treatment" but if it's rendering I've pretty much given up on that. Like so many other things, it just doesn't work for me. Guess I'll just stick to what does work for me, they're crude but they get the job done. Eventually. 😄

              Jim,

              Yes, I did download your amazing '32. Been studying it, trying to figure out how you achieved that level of perfection. Still eludes me. I hate you 😆

              So you think I should make the side indentations shallower? Hmmm. Might give that a try, thanks for pointing that out.

              Still haven't heard back from them about your stolen engine. Coincidentally, a couple of weeks ago someone tipped me off that my '56 Ford had been posted on another site as somebody else's model. At least it was the first version, never got around to uploading the new improved version. Gotta get that thread started that we talked about.

              So have you begun any new masterpieces? If so would love to see them.

              Steve

                    Hi, hellnbak:
                    Another great model by you.

                    I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                      Yea I saw the review on your '56 that called attention to the dirty deed. Would be great to identify these guys and? - First we hang them, then we shoot them, then we burn them. Model rustlers can't be dead enough. 😍

                      No new project yet. One at a time for me and 55 and 60 hour work weeks don't leave much time for the fun stuff. Bin thinking about a top fuel drag boat. Create a blown nitro version of the cammer to put in it. Don't believe I've seen any race boats in the warehouse. I'll start doing some research, but who knows, that may lead me in a different direction. Ya know what I mean?

                      Jim

                            Great modeling! I loved the Munsters! I remember the episode that introduced the Koach; Lily bought it as a present for Herman, only the dealership didn't have what she was looking for, so she had them take specific parts from different vehicles to create it.

                              I'm not a fan of the design but it is beautifully modeled.

                                  It looks like they are serious about rebooting The Munsters. Here's some of the cast so far (taken from TV Yahoo.com)

                                  2012-07-11_215347.png

                                  Here's an interview with the developer of the new take on the series (can't remember where I got it from)

                                  *The series, an "imaginative reinvention" of the classic '60's show, The Munsters, will be called Mockingbird
                                  Lane, and is being developed by Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me creator Bryan Fuller and filmmaker Bryan
                                  Singer. The look of the new series is going to be a bit edgier with a slightly darker take exploring origins
                                  of Herman and Lily Munster, and how they arrived at the famed 1313 Mockingbird Lane address.

                                  Here's a few things Fuller had to say about the series in a recent interview with EW that you might be
                                  interested in reading,*

                                  "We want this show to be an American Harry Potter. To have that sense of a magical world that you get 
                                  

                                  to go to with your family and find stories told in a fantastical way that are instantly relatable. It’s
                                  an American Horror Story that the whole family can watch."

                                  He went one to discuss the title change saying,

                                  "The script is such a dramatic departure from the tone and style of the original show. If we continued 
                                  

                                  to call the show The Munsters, people are just going to to think we’re doing The Munsters. We’re doing a
                                  reinvention and re-imagination of this property. I love the Universal monsters. I love the Creature from
                                  the Black Lagoon, The Invisible Man, The Wolfman,Phantom of the Opera, The Mummy. There’s so many great
                                  characters we can run through this metaphor of family storytelling that it just felt it was ripe to do as
                                  a one-hour dramedy. Having all those elements to play with, the toy box is really really full."

                                  He talks about other monsters being added to the show,

                                  "Absolutely. There’s some great stories going forward in the series. Any story you can tell on Parenthood 
                                  

                                  we can run through a Universal monster prism and tell it in a very twisted off-kilter way. What I love about
                                  the pilot story is it’s about a family who loves each other and they have a child [Eddie, the werewolf] with
                                  a disability and they’re trying to craft a path for that child so he can have a happy life — they just happen
                                  to be monsters. And, unlike in the original, we’re going to see our monsters do monstrous things."

                                  Fuller is asked about the costumes of the series, and here's what he says about them,
                                  "We’re not doing bolts in the neck and Bela Lugosi. It’s almost the Real Housewives of Transylvania. These
                                  are a blinged-out representation of what monsters would be doing if they lived in our society today. How they
                                  would look, how they would interact. Our wardrobe is heavily influenced by Alexander McQueen and his use of
                                  animal textures. For instance, with [the vampire] Lily, all of her wardrobe comes from nature. The first time
                                  we see her this nest of spiders weaves her dress on her body as she’s standing there. We’ll see ravens come in
                                  and assemble her blouse out of their feathers. We won’t see animal skins because the animals are donating as
                                  opposed to dying for it. She has domain over nature and nature has a fantastic esthetic."

                                  This sounds like it will be an entertaining series to watch. I've enjoyed most of Fuller's TV series like
                                  Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me. I like what he's saying about his vision for this series, and it will be
                                  fun to see it come to life.

                                  Here's a couple of shots of the new house at 1313 Mockingbird Lane

                                  Where it's being built
                                  munsters1.jpg
                                  What it will eventually look like
                                  1.png

                                  Like everything they're rebooting nowadays, TV series, movies, whatnot, a lot of people are up in arms about it. To these people I say "What's the big problem? If you object to them remaking something, just don't watch it". Seems simple enuf to me.

                                  Personally I'm very curious about how it will turn out. After all, when they made the Batman movies much darker and more sinister, look what happened 😉

                                  Anyhow, not sure why I'm posting this, I suppose since I mentioned the new series in my original post.

                                            After all, when they made the Batman movies much darker and more sinister, look what happened

                                            Btw....they're rebooting Batman again. I think they want to make a Justice League movie a la Avengers and they need to fit all the other heroes. Geez they've just finished the trilogy...
