Mad Max Interceptor WIP

[Cueball]

Hi there!

I was always a big Mad Max fan.
After i found the car-tutorial from Lewis, i decided to try to model the black interceptor.
To get some more experience, i modeled the blower first. Still need some tweaks here and there.
Wheels are next on the list, then comes the hard part ....the actual body :rolleyes:

Thanks again to Lewis for his tutorial!
I wish i could create such clean meshes like him :)

regards,

Looks great but needs some dirt and sand you know.

Are you going to model his dingo I hope too?;)

[Lewis]

Hi Cueball

You did marvelous job on modeling, just tweak some surfaces and it will be great model ;),

[riki]

Yep definately need to dirty things up. Add some char grilled roo meat :) Looking good so far, great idea to start with the engine.

[TSpyrison]

Cool :)

did the interceptor have nitrous? needs nitrous hoses..
Ive got the DVD's around here somewhere....

Just saw it again (I'm fan) on TV last night, Mad Max 1 mean, the only true real ;)
Love that hero with a splint !
Love your engine ! Can almost hear the sucking hair aspiration !! Where did you get the ref pics ? Could you point me to some places ?

I may be wrong but I think the interceptor is an Australian Ford Falcon.

[Cueball]

Yeah, its an australian falcon.
Great page with infos about the
film can be found here (http://www.madmaxmovies.com)
Surely the surfaces need work, but i wont make a dirty car like in part 2 :p
Got some time this weekend and will tweak some size-mismatches and the surfaces
and then going to go for the car-body.

Thanx a ton for this awesome link :cool:

I heard they were talking about making a 4th Mad Max.

Now you need a Mel Gibson model sitting on the ground behind it and you're set. :)

Got the wheels almost finished now. (Just made them yellow for a better view)
Now for the textures.....im not a very good painter.. :(

Unfortunately the body of the car isnt going as smoothly as i thought. I got big big troubles getting everything looking right. I got lots of pictures of the car, but all are a bit disorted due to the perspective of the photographer. So its hell a work to get it looking correct... looking through few pictures, tweaking, looking again and so on.... I hope i can get a good overall look of the car... adding detail isnt a big problem later.

Starting with splines.... (http://www.cueball.de/images/wip/Body001.jpg)

Update:
After a lot of tweaking im almost done with the spline-cage. Then the fun part can start :D
Just did a quick test and tried the front-end today and it came out pretty good.
More to come after the weekend :cool:
Tweaked splines (http://www.cueball.de/images/wip/Body002.jpg)

[astro-sanchez]

splines are looking good
keep working.....

[Cueball]

Finally i can show something of the body.
Now im adding details and working on the back on the car.
Made some mistakes when i started, they give me a hard time now.
But now i know what to avoid and which order to go when i start my next car :)

The last of the V8 Interceptors. Be a shame to blow it up.

Great Idea for a project to work on. I look forward to following your progress.

Re-patched the splines and avoided my mistakes from the first try this time :)
Model turned out much cleaner now.
Adding detail now.

[astro-sanchez]

:D looking good
keep going

[Cueball]

Got some details ready at the front-end and did a render of the whole thing.
No worries its only a temporary color to see the details better :)
Going for hood-detail next, then trunk, doors and windows.
