(BTW, Stephen King is currently writing a sequel to The Shining!)

Wow, I had not heard that! I just hope it's more like the old King books, like he used to write back in the days of The Shining. Seems like every book he churns out nowadays is touted as "he's getting back to his roots", but he never really does. Maybe he needs a root canal

In all fairness I know a writer has to evolve, I just enjoyed his work a lot more before evolution overtook him

Even tho he'll be writing a sequel to the book, not the movie, it's main character sure to be compared to Nicholson, and that's gonna be tough!

Well, whatever it turns out to be, it's sure to become a movie, guaranteed. Ka-ching!

Oh, wait, this is a SU forum. Ummmm......nice model!

Your modeling is so smooth, clean and detailed. Great model. I really love the lines of this vehicle, the shape of the hood and fenders, the way the body goes straight back and the tracks angle down. I'll have to take another look at The Shining, been awhile since I've seen it. I do remember that Nicholson was great, and the ending was terrible, nothing at all like the book. I don't remember what kind of vehicle the cook used to get back to the hotel, was it another Snow-Trak?

Anyhow, came across some sort-of interesting photos and thought I would pass them along.

Nice model, but are those wingtip engines or mini emergency escape planes? Do they have functioning ailerons, and if so, wouldn't that make control of the aircraft a lot more complicated? They look cool, but I don't think they would be practical. I would just drop them down and make them a part of the wing.
Never mind me, just nitpicking.

Wow! Can't begin to imagine what you'll be producing in another couple of years.

Great stuff! I'm not generally a big fan of architecture, but this is impressive!

Some really imaginative stuff!

I wonder, what is the approximate time frame between the models on the first few pages and the ones on the last few pages? I ask because it seems your modeling technique has greatly evolved in that time span.

What an imagination!!

Lookin' better all the time

Nice render. I like the old school bikes, looking forward to seeing this develop.

Like the review says - this one looks exactly like what it's supposed to be.[attachment=1:m12jvdg1]<!-- ia1 -->Clipboard01.png<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:m12jvdg1]

Actually the description is not totally accurate - when you rotate it in 3D view, there is a rectangle there.
Here's a similar one (there are some very bored people out there)

We really need to start a new thread to honor the worst/lamest of the 3D warehouse, I'm sure it will be as entertaining as the funny picture thread.

Wait, are you saying my Orange Beast is lame??

High praise from the grandmaster of car modelling.

Wow!!

Ummmm...is there a salary that goes with this? Maybe a crown that I can put on Ebay? (I'm poor, I eat dirt and twigs - when I can afford the twigs )

Beautiful model! Of course, nobody would expect anything less from you! Glad to see someone else turning out the oldies (although it's a bit older than what I'm into )

@marian said:

Awesome work I love the details, but I'm especially impressed by that orange beast

Thanks. Mitsubishi, Honda and BMW are in a bidding war for production rights of the "orange beast". So far Honda is ahead with a $12.00 bid. I'm hoping for $15.00.

This is gonna be a nice model! Can you show us some other examples of your work?

@numbthumb said:

It looks a bit rough around the edges.

Hey, I did the best I could. I had to work from memory (I couldn't afford the shoes and they wouldn't sell just the box)

That Sunbeam car is absolutely beautiful!! When will it be in production, I want two!

@marian said:

Is there a way to see all the threads one created?

Don't know of a way to see only the threads you've created, but this will show you all your posts if you want to weed thru them (you probably already knew that tho)

Thanks, I'm kinda proud of it. Took a long time, and still needs some work, some detailing. With any luck the convertible version should be ready in a couple of months.

Dang it, all I get is criticism!! I really hate that!

I'm working on a convertible version, will post pics soon.

Been doing some things to my roadster, thought I would post a few pics. Mainly work to the interior, modeled the grill, opened the doors, rounded the top of the rear fenders to better go with the shape of the front fenders, etc.
Started work on another project (like I need another one ), a 72 Olds Vista Cruiser, like the one I owned when I was stationed in Tampa, Fla back in the mid 70's. It was a beauty, had it all of 7 months when a drunk ran a stop sign and turned it into an abstract sculpture . (I watch "That 70's Show" just to see the Vista Cruiser on there. Ain't that pitiful?) Anyhow, attached a pic, still in it's early stages.

@carrozza said:

Could you please give us some hints on your modeling process? I'm particularly interested on how you achieved those smooth shapes, as for example the bumper that goes from back to front in a long waved line.

I appreciate your comments. Thanks! As far as my modeling process, when I first started out it was pretty much hit and miss, bouncing all over the place, trying this, trying that. Just like everyone, I suppose. As I gain more experience with SU I suppose I am developing a "process" of sorts, but it's still a loose one. I've got maybe a dozen models or more I'm working on right now, and I tend to bounce back and forth between them. That way I don't get burned out on any one model. Of course I tend to never finish one, either
I feel very uncomfortable giving advice, I honestly don't think I'm good enuf yet to do that. And that's not "Aw, shucks" false modesty, it's just how I really feel about my skills at this point. It still takes me way too long to get anything done. I do manage to get some things done, and people have said some really nice things about some of them, but there are any number of modelers on this forum that could do the same thing a lot more efficiently.
There is one tool that I absolutely couldn't do without, an under-appreciated little Smustard tool called Nudge. I use it more than any other tool. You should check it out, once you get used to using it you'll see what I mean.
