Trackpaduser's mods

Soon™

The mesh is pretty much done. Started doing the morphs yesterday.

But there are some weird things happening with the tire width limits that I would like to fix before releasing the model. Sent a PM to Andrew but he hasn't answered yet.

After this I'll have to hack together a soft-top version of it, but that shouldn't be too long.

Awesome! I'm excited to see the release

Subject: Trackpaduser's mods [Now with a Group C Prototype]

If you have a request you can post it here I don't mind.

Or you can just send me a PM if you don't want to post it publicly.

Glad you replied and well, that one request was, if i isn't too much a problem, a front engined Group C/GTP body, although to my know how for now, the only case was the Ford Mustang GTP that ran in 1983-1984.

Race record wise, it was a failure but I can't help but admire it both as a concept, to say nothing of how it was put together (apart from the engines that were high strung to the point that this was it's achilles heel more so than it's layout), and well, it is something else.

Here is a picture of it although there's quite a few photos online that could probably be found with ease with an image search session.

And well...that is about it for now.

You may be shocked to know that Nissan appears to be planning to come back to LMP-1 racing with an FF prototype

Well actually, given I do follow some current endurance racing (namely USCR and WEC), yeah, I actually have been hearing about this car for a while. It's quite radical, part of me would be dismissive but it seems like something so audacious, I am very curious and eager to see how it'll fair.

It'll at least give some more flavor to LMP-1 H.

I can't be alone in how it seems so obvious when you have both LMP-1H and then LMP-1L, it's more or less saying 'Yes Privateers, we're fully aware that if you haven't been in the last 15+ years Audi, Peugeot, Toyota, Porsche and soon Nissan, we know your chances of winning are less favorable to being Yamcha in Dragon Ball against anyone past Raddiz.

Rambling aside, it's a crazy machine (then again so was/is the delta wing), can't wait to see how it'll fair.

I will probably make a canvas top version of it, as well as a scaled down Kei-Car sized version.

It's easy make different sizes of a car? I think it is a good way to increase the variety of models.

Keep up the excellent works!

Heh yeah even if the privateers do "well" its always in terms of "despite breaking down after one hour" or something

Also, yamucha had no chance against anyone past master roshi, let alone tenshinhan, he was pretty much a born to lose character so really xD

As fun and as much as I like seeing manufacturers duke it out, more so with either experimental or very untested tech/engines/whatever, maybe it's that 'underdog' thing even though it isn't entirely a bad thing for a manufacturer to be very successful. I guess my problem is sometimes I want good racing, but that's far easier said than done, even among privateers in such series such as (now merged into USCR) Grand-am (because even then there was and still is factory or semi-factory support there).

At least the LMP-1 light gives said privateers a prayer for some rewards. I just wish there were more but...those cars are crazy expensive to run even as 'customer' units...in fairness there's no real 'cheap' alternative, the Daytona Prototypes somewhat filled that, but no longer given they had to be changed to be on near-equal footing with LMP2s but that's ramble for another time.

back to Dragonabll, I both laugh at, yet I feel sorry for Yamchua, which is probably why I love Team Four Star's Dragon Ball Z abridged (besides how, apart from their own interpretation of the lore and cast) really do put forth effort into their works and it shows, given this could have been an adult swim production itself and lampshade hanging a lot of things. Including just how down the ladder Yamucha can be, it's just me but I've had so many laughs from that series, and a bit of nostalgia given I did see the seires proper up to it's end.

My current project. Still needs a bit on work, especially on the rear end, but I am slowly getting there.

I will probably make a canvas top version of it, as well as a scaled down Kei-Car sized version.

Any similarities with a real car are purely a coincidence.

Nice! Always thought the MX-5 was one of my favorite lower-end Japanese sportscars.....

Also, would it be alright to ask if you could make a slightly larger version of your minitruck? I'd like to build some Land Rover type cars myself sometime.

[TrackpadUser]

Yeah. With all the comments about how it looks like a Defender/G-Wagen I definitively plan to make a more regular size boxy off-roader.

[TrackpadUser]

Just finished the roadster.

Look at the OP for the file.

[VosNox]

Great fuckin job. Honestly. I love this body.

Just a quick heads up, I'm getting quite a bit of this when attaching parts, as well as a lot of tearing while moving parts around.

As an aside, I managed to fit like a 6.2L NA V8 in that bay. I also got a 4.0L big-assed turbo in there as well. got 1400 HP.

[TrackpadUser]

I can't really do anything AFAIK about the waviness of the pop-up lamps over seams.

But for the weird holes, i'll try redoing the UV mapping and see if there's any difference.

Can you fix the engine issue in LeMans with the C prototype, please?
