Ford-GT40 wip

with that supercharged v8 and a sweet body this must be the most beautiful car ever.
this is my first car im going to model the inside, im a member of the blueprint site and
they allow me to download big images which can be very useful.
i have made a start by setting up the blueprint:

im using a colour blueprint becouse it will be much harder if it were just
a outline, you cant really tell what your modeling,:spin:
progress will be slow if we want a very good model.

OK but… What did you actually do? Put three pictures in the background? Wow. I cannot see even one verticle…

EDIT:

Am I supposed to be jealous or something?

But otherwise - good choice of car to model. Really beautiful. Hope you’ve got skills to do this. Looking forward to this.

Hello!

I agree with Bottom-Feeder,beautiful car.From which blueprint site did you get the blueprints?
Is it http://www.the-blueprints.com ?
This is a great and challenging car to model,I will follow your thread.

update,
yes the-blueprints.com
i have started a quick model, il add more detail later.

and a wire

i find it amazing how every car model you do, you get so much better?

Bottom-Feeder · July 26, 2009, 8:16am

Nice. Will you use subsurf later?

ionee · July 26, 2009, 8:41am

later when the high detail is in, makes it easy for me.

Bottom-Feeder · July 26, 2009, 8:44am

You’ve got partly right but I have subsurf on from the beginning - it let me see how it gonna look after I finally done it.

ionee · July 26, 2009, 9:20am

ok, this is what it looks like when sub is on, but its a mini operation to get the edges right, if i do that now it will be harder to add detail.

i also fixed probs.
can be very hard, these types of cars becouse you have to guess
where stuff is, they not really on the blueprints you see.
