      A beta of the windscreen wiper fairing. It starts with the same profile as the power bulge ends with.

    • RE: Windows 10

      Like everyone else, I have heard a whole lot of conflicting comments and advice about windows 10, it is going subscription, it is not going subscription and a lot of other 'stuff'. I have just spoken to a windows technician and he stated categorically that windows 10 will be free to windows 7 and 8 users for one year starting 29th of july 2015 and after that it has to be bought for 119 US $. NO subscription is planned or being considered. Whether our programs will be compatible or hardware but it is nice to have some solid info after the conjecture.

      A quick diversion with a subtle ( I hope ) power bulge in bonnet.

      Interior beta 1.1. The handbrake has been replaced with an electronic version but the button will be made smaller. There is a multi function tool on the tunnel for selecting diff settings etc via a small flat screen. The airvents do not show well at the angle in this view but I will try to improve this as I move along.

      Thanks. I was thinking more of a brunette, more to my style. Not that I have anything against a blonde at all. Not at the moment anyway, sadly.

      Thanks Steve, the engine is an upgrade from goldfish 1.5 although a gas and air assisted unit called girlfriend 1.7 and wife 4.0 were both considered the repercussion's of broken jaw 0.9 and sore behind 1.2 not to mention earache 7.5 made this a non starter.

    • RE: Small sports car

      Thanks, I render the model pretty regularly to spot any flaws in the groups as I go, it makes it easier to spot problems like the way extrusion tools and curviloft can produce, for want of a better description 'but cheeks' when lofting/extruding certain arcs. Still not entirely certain about the black chrome feature but I can see how that goes as I do more. This car is exactly eleven feet long and five feet wide, including the wheelarch 'spats'.

    • RE: Small sports car

      I have reduced the capacity of the engine by one cylinder and started the first of the opening groups, the bonnet. Not decided on the width of the shut line but not as narrow as in most modern hatchbacks etc. Reducing the engine cylinders does allow the cabin to move forward slightly.


      Start point for bodyshell openings.

    • RE: Rotring pens

      I had a set many years ago, leaked all over the place and never got on with them. Nicely made but as useful a toaster minus the heater elements.

      It's a fair cop, I should have thought of that point at least.

    • RE: Awesome Bump 3.0

      No idea why this is so popular, it does nothing so far and has zero instructions that I can find. I know it is a generous thing to provide a program gratis but without decent documentation it is basically useless.

      Sorry Richard I failed to get across the point as usual. The runoff would be logical and I did not mean to suggest you had not thought of it, as usual your projects are extremely well thought out. The point I failed to make was that if there was a method of having a small amount of residual water in that area, it could be useful to reduce the temperature inside the unit by cooling air at ceiling height. It would need to have some sort of lip on the drain side to keep a low level of water in place.
