I have been working on this 3D model for awhile, thought some of you might be interested to see it.

Reading test: I do all of my modelling in a software called Creo parametric, rendered images with Keyshot. For those of you who do CAD, you'll know that to get something of this level takes a tremendous about of effort. And I still have a lot to do. This is a parametric software, so unlike programs like 3D Studio Max I get true smooth curvatures not millions of triangles.

It's a work in progress, so some things aren't finished, and other thigns need to be corrected. There are a LOT of details I haven't gotten to.

You might be wondering what I will do with the model once it's done. I am an artist and I do a lot of vector work as you can see in the link in my signature. I'll be using it for some upcoming art pieces that I'm super excited about but will be keeping under wraps for now. I may also post it up on one of the 3D model community pages for sale. If you model and would like a copy to use for personal use, let me know via PM and once it's done we will go from there.

That is awesome! I would be interested in a copy -- I use Solidworks, so any kind of neutral 3D export should be compatible.

Awesome, I can imagine how much work that was. Might be a cool project for me to machine a scale version on my Haas Mill.

I see a problem...

It's not silver like mine so it's not quite perfect. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Wow! Cool skill!

Very cool. Now we need to put it in it's own video game.

nice job! I play with point clouds and triangles most of the time. I might take my microscribe and trace parts of my interior, though... Just to get actual dimensions for the sub enclosure I'm working on for my cars.

Looks great! The rear flares are a bit too rounded at the top. Maybe decrease the radius?

Your work looks super. I have a question? What does a 3/d printer need to make parts from? Can the size change easily for a 3/d part that someone would want?
I do tooling for vacuum forming and pull in my shop in thin .040 clear PET plastic.
RC cars are one idea.
Send me your email so I can send you a picture of what I have done in the past

Bob, I work with a 3D printer quite often, it would take a significant effort to get this printable.

Did some more on it, tweaked the rear fenders, added the door mirror, rear badging, and rear trunk lock.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/c1.staticflickr.com-19709-1491605149.1.jpg)

And started brake calipers and rotors.

I've been working on a narrow body version. Still more to do, this is a work in progress, but I think it's looking pretty good.

Looking good Bob. We use Creo at work so I appreciate the effort you've invested; our stylists however use different software for surfacing because of how hard it is to do on Creo. Creo is used by the engineers for their design work once the surfacing is done.

Hope you don't mind. I save an image and set it as my desktop background.
