Rogue's W.I.P's!

[Roguer1]

Well, I am able to get on another computer every now and again so I can still post every few days.

Here are a few models I will make from the next Cobra.
These are only to give a rough idea of what it will look like, inface the Maverick set I used to model the last one.
They are only quick blueprints so they are a bit crude, especially the Cougar.
Please don't re-use them or model from them, if you wish to edit them to show me variants pleas only upload them to this topic.

I hope you like them

i like your sketch style very technical

[Roguer1]

Thanks for noticing that they are just sketches. I'll clean them up a bit nad make them more accurate once I finish the models

Resembles a mustang a bit doesnt it?

Well, yes.....Thats what it is.

The Mercury Cougar was built from the same model year Mustang and the Maverick was a small version of the Mustang.

Thats why Ford should make the Cougar again. They already have the Mustang to build from and it would be a great model to boost the Mercury range.

I've been working on some wheels lately and I thought it might be time to (place Obama reference here). I noticed that you make wheels using a 100-faced circle . What I did is double the standard amount to 48. I could try 96, but size is an issue.

Here's an example I did for Alex's Viper:

![Everything except for the brake pads and the disk vents were "enhanced"](/uploads/imported_attachments/ENwC_2.png "Everything except for the brake pads and the disk vents were "enhanced"")
And yes, first attempt.

Yo Shams,

WTF MAN

So cool, So good, So pro style! Im busy with this:
Ferrari Tipo 500 F2 ( Old ferrari Racer )

Just started with the wheels caus theyre the most important thing of that car.
Butta, after seeing your 46 circle.. mmm Intressting. I might start all over again but after im finished with this wheel.

[Roguer1]

Its good to see people talking about wheels for once. I have been making them for ages now and people only seem interested in the next car, usually my wheels hint towards that as I also try to make my wheels first or when I get stuck in a model (yes I often get stuck)

Any way, that Viper wheel is looking great, very detaild and clean.
I often use 100 sides because I usually make 5 spoke wheels and I cant be bothered making a new tyre for every one.

Cant wait, although if its done with'n the next few weeks I wont be able to see it.

[Roguer1]

It looks interesting but I think I'll just try to stick with the 5's I know. The Ford inspired ones.

Also feel free to catch up on my image uploads on my website

Well, your work is good, we all know that, not much to discuss about that, except if you have an idea or you want advice.

[Roguer1]

Thanks Marian

Here is another wheels, its from the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO

This has been one of the hardest wheels I have made so far

[RayOchoa]

maybe you could sho us how you make those cool wheels?

I did try to make a video tutorial using this complicate wheel but it took 4 hours and I didn’t have enough space to store the large file on my HDD...
It was recorded in HD.

I also ran into quite time consuming problems so it turned out a mess.

I will still try to make a video tutorial next time I make a wheel or if I could figure out a good way to, a SketchUp tutorial.

[Roguer1]

Just a little update on the Cobra, no images this time (under wraps)

Work on base model
-Interior started and it is going well, a few complications but looking good
-Exterior still not finished, underbody just started

-Estimated total poly's: 100,000-ish

Still amazed by the results you've managed to get. I'm beginning work on an Audi A3 today which is my first attempt at a car. I will post when I have something worth looking at.

Keep up the good work, I think when people don't speak it's because jaws have dropped at some of the things you've done here!

[Roguer1]

Thanks a lot Puck

I would like to see what happens with your A3, best of luck.
