Ford Escort MKII RS

[anthonymcgrath]

Fantastic new render Dave (well - its prob old now but I aint seen it anyhow!)

the ambient occlusion overlay really does make the difference doesn't it? :D

you got any others in the pipeline along with the capri and focus yet?

Check this out since your'e modeling both of the cars though it might be cool to watch.

Yes ... I watched that episode :D Thanks.

A little bit unfair as the Escort they raced against was setup for going fast - BUT in a forest muddy, icey, bumpy, rutted tracks !! To be more fair they should have used a tarmac spec Escort. The Focus RS would probably still win (on the tarmac) ... but I know which one is more fun

I'm going back to Scotland for Christmas ... and my own RS2000. I hope it stays dry and NO snow :D

Looking foward to hear your news, Dave.

[Dave_3d]

Been working on the Group 5 Race setup ... almost new school Got a lot of little details to add - and some new rims. And some wild racing colours ..

woha, a moby dick escort :o:

cool dude, crazy silver, and damn headlights

can you give us a wire?

thanks, bye

[Dave_3d]

It is a from the REAL Group 5 DRM Racers of the early 1980s And they were from about the same period as the SWB Rally Audis - same style of "Boxy" aerodynamics.

Here is an unsmoothed wire. Some of the edges may look crooked around the arches, but that is because I was not drawing them parallel with the others. They all lie tightly on the correct surfaces.

man u doing awesome =) this project is really cool ... keep going , sxc wide body kit !

[andrei]

good wires!

just a suggestion, you colud put more edges at that front square holes on the bumper, to make them more square, thy seems to bem non square and non rouded square, if you undersand me...

'80 fords are great, I own one corcel 2, brazilian car, but the corcel 1 is very inspired at the escort, they have a god good engine and durability...

Ah, I love those older racers, you got excellent taste for sure

[Dave_3d]

Thanks guys.

Never seen that Ford model before, Andrei.

I've tightened up some wires (and holes) and added some more details and the correct wheels - I was lucky enough to get some great photos from someone who is actually rebuilding one of these pups

[Dave_3d]

Thanks for the pics (though the last one is a Fiat )

Just a little quick update - created a set of Imageworks period alloys.

Also a view of the rear (indicator textures still need some work, but hardly ever seen)
