I have to ask, is this a photo you are using for reference or you model? If it is your model, I am blown away!

I want to see more

[Mike Amos]

Thanks folks, it's a model, no more than ten percent on.

[Bryan K]

That's the model? I also thought it was photo reference.

This is going to be good!

[Mike Amos]

Thanks, I hope so. Like you I get memory issues slowing stuff down.

That looks really exiting Mike, what renderer are you using?

[Mike Amos]

Thanks mate, Twilight V2 Pro. Slow process.

Hi Mike

You may already have some texture but here are some PBR textures, https://www.sketchuptextureclub.com/textures/search-textures?n=S&m=S
I usualy find if the texture are applied in the render engine and not in SU it maps correctly

[Mike Amos]

Ta mate.

[Bryan K]

Don't keep us hanging! This was one of my favorite cars! Really looking forward to progress updates!

[Mike Amos]

I finally found a decent rev counter (Smith's instruments 12,000rpm) so hopefully I can move on with the dashboard/instruments. Engine details have been tough to find with depictions stated to be for 1967 actually referencing a 1973 engine which is wrong for this car. The 1973 car has the low mounted 'Wings'..

[Mike Amos]

Well, trying to clean up inside the jam jar, annoying. Starting to run into some serious glitches which I will have to work at to clear.

Lovely work Mike

Thanks folks, getting closer to the correct geometry for the centre cab. I guess number 20 is the charm.
