Fantastic modelling and attention to detail. Some of the modelling looks like the sort of thing you would normally expect to be done with the likes of SolidWorks.

[hellnbak]

Thanks everyone.

Hey David, noticed that tomorrow is your three-year anniversary here at Sketchucation. Is there gonna be a party?

You're welcome, but I'm certainly nobody's "hero" (I barely qualify as "human" ). Yes, the '56 is one fine car. I love the styling, the simple lines, it just all pulls together to make one the classiest classics around. I like a lot of things about the '55 too (especially the big rear wheel openings on the Nomad), but given a choice I'll go with the '56 every time.

Can I see wires of the front suspension? Turn off textures (monchrome mode) and turn on hidden geometry. Would love to see the topo

a photo of a real car?
awesome as usual

[hellnbak]

Had to go thru it first and delete a BUNCH of hidden boxes. (I attach small hidden boxes to each odd-shaped component to make it easier to rotate and position them) Looked really weird with all them showing. Looks weird now too.

Don't look at it too closely, there's still a lot of work to be done.

If you wanted to see something else just let me know.

If it is it would have to be from a Tim Burton movie

It's very easy to see what a talented and skilled modeler you are. And I have fond memories of the '55's, '56's and '57's, and you have done these justice.

[hellnbak]

Thanks Tim. Coming from you that means a lot!

Thanks. I hate showing my hidden lines, makes it all too obvious that there is no method to my madness. With me it's whatever works. The way I look at it, if God had intended for my hidden lines to be shown, He wouldn't have let me hide them in the first place.

Fantastic man, I'm so impressed.
