My First Vehicle

[Tiff]

Hi all, long time no post.

WOW I have just seen Classicgamers post; it looks so detailed, very professional.

This is my attempt at a SWB series 111 Land Rover.

This is my first real attempt at a vehicle. What I have learnt is that I should have got some more reference photos and done some more research.

I have been building this in my spare time, for fun and because I love Land Rovers. There is some modelling and material editing that I am still not happy with especially the tyres.

All I really need to do is to watch Classicgamers post.

Advice critics and comments are very welcome.
Thanks for looking, Tiff

Thanks, FatteWorst

That is very kind of you to offer your support.

Not sure what my next project is going to be. Possibly my old 1971 Triumph T120 Bonneville; that’s been in my shed since I’ve had children, although it will take some time to find it under all the cob webs.

Best regards, Tiff

Looks good, you'll see just how similar ours look when mine is finished as all I can see so far is that my headlights are different.

Not bad at all though, thank you for the mention

Thank you CLASSICGAMER, for your comment.

The underneath of your series II looks absolutely brilliant, can’t wait to see the rest.

I think the series II and III are very similar, although I am no expert. The main differences are the smaller details such as the hinges and as you mentioned the positioning of the lights.

All the best, Tiff

Hi again,

I have just been away on my hols. so I havnt had much time to do much.

All I have had time to do is re-shape the rear wheel arch and add the roof to the back as well as some smaller details.

Thanks for looking.

Looks good, but these wheel arches are a bit rough at the moment. Btw when will you start modeling that T1 camperwan you have on sig. If it is what i am thinking?

Thanks Next One,

You are correct, they are a bit rough, I will try and smooth them out soon. I am still not happy with the wheels either.
I may atempt a camper at some point, the one om my sig is a T2, need to try and finnish this first.

Thanks for the comment,
Tiff

PS. Very nice Lada, I will be watching your thread as well.

Modelling looks pretty solid. Only thing I can suggest is to try and add some thickness to the body work if you can.
I think with a scene though, this will stand out

Nice one, Kage.

Yes you have noticed my door (handle), has no thickness. I had already given the body thickness but I had completely over looked the door (handle). Thanks again.

Hi again,
Just started sorting out the materials, they still need a bit more work. Not sure about the white roof.
Any more advice or crits. will be gratefully received.
Thanks again, Tiff

Just started adding some bump maps, not sure that they are a bit to much?

[Kage]

Hmm... I think the bumps are too much.

I'd try and layer the dirt on a bit more too. It feels too layed out at the moment. It should be a lot more random, with a lot more specs, etc

Dirt nearer the wheels should have a lot more bump to them though, like stuck on mud, thats maybe slightly glossier.

Well, it was a good idea to focus on modelling as you did a very good job. The side door seam (vertical, front most one) is a bit strange, it appears white in the last render. So I guess it's sticking out from the car body. Can we see some wires?

Thanks McFly, for your kind words on my modelling.

Not sure about the door seam, I think it is more to do with the lighting and the reflective material, but thank you for pointing it out, it s a bit much.

Here are a couple of edge renders.

Thanks for looking, please any crits or comments.
