Above & Beyond - Vehicle - Cyroz -

[cyroz2000]

Ok; first wip:
I made a spline cage for the body of the car using blueprints found on the web.

more coming soon.... (I hope)

[OZ]

? does it fly ?
:wip: go :wip: go :wip: go:wip: go

[cyroz2000]

Yes, it will fly, but for the moment I work on the body of the car.
So here is another pic after some spline patching and some tweaking... and a little bit of PS ;)

[iC4]

looks very good so far, but how will it fly? :)

[cyroz2000]

Just wait and see, I swear it will fly!

For now just a little update,
still working on the body:

[erilaz]

Maybe it will fly Harry Potter style!:D

[Joril]

Reminds me of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang".
I'm curious how this vehicle will evolve. :)

[cyroz2000]

another day, another pic...

[lildragon]

hmm last time I checked, cars weren't homemade :hmm:

[Wiro]

It's a nice car but at the moment it doesn't really suit this challenge. I have to remind you that the flying vehicle needs to be largely homemade or made out of cannibalized parts.

You can use PARTS of a car, it would even be ok to use most of it (like everything else but the drivers compartement chopped off and used as the gondola on a balloon) but not the entire car unaltered.

Remember, theres still the WIP forum if you want to model a car.

[cyroz2000]

I totally agree with you Lildragon and Wiro,
the car will be used as the main body of my flying machine,
I have to make it older and accidented, but in my mind I thought
that a used car could be a could start if I had to build a flying vehicle, I could have used an old boat or whatever
but in my case it's a car...

[cyroz2000]

Hi folks,
another pic...

[cyroz2000]

...and a render test:

[cyroz2000]

added the first part of the wings...

[cyroz2000]

...another view.

[Aearon]

hey i like that a lot cyroz

looks very compact/solid/homemade/well-done

that's what my immediate feelings are when looking at it,

not crits so far - just make it even more detailed, i think a lot of tiny gadgets and things will fit it very well

how bout taking a look at my entry too, it's a tiny bit similar in style (ie semi-realistic)

[cyroz2000]

added the rest of the wings:

[Elf]

it seems to be homemade, what if the car was found in a junkyard? i like your machine, espicially the turret, looks really nice:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[hypercube]

Hey this is really shaping up..really getting that Ghibli/Lupin kind of thing going..great feel to it. :thumbsup:

I think the more crazy crap you get on it the more homemade it'll feel..obviously I don't have any say, but I think it feels plenty homemade..like the guy ripped his car up to build it..maybe you could take a door off, or make the body panels semi-loose, or more banged up..otherwise, worked for the nutty professor and chitty chitty bang bang :D

[freemind77]

wow it looks like dangerous experiment :bounce: keep up very good !

[Wiro]

I like where you've gone with this...looks quite homemade now :)

I think it would look even more haphazardly put together if you cut off the roof and maybe made the engines attached to some girders. Or take off the bonnett and fill it with junk...it doesn't seem to have to house an engine since they're now attached to each propeller.

Great work!

Wiro

great idea you have so far. I say once you finish with your overal plan and modeling, go back and really hit the details down to the screws for you have somthing great going on here! Keep up the good work, look forward to more updateS!!

shaun

[jtk77]

WOW Thats AWSOME... I totaly love it..
I want one now. I'm going to go buy a bug and hook some wings to it.:thumbsup:

[Wi_2]

Great work !! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

keep it up

[azazel]

Very nice :)
You my try to remove front wheels and put in that place something like front wheel in small airplanes:

or:

http://www.howstuffworks.com/gif/airplane-front-gear.jpg

or even make left different than right...

[cyroz2000]

Thx everybody for replies! :)

I know the car is too clean but I will modify it later,
for now I try to add the different elements that compose the machine (finish the wings, the turret, adding pipes from motor to propeller...) :wip:

Azazel:
I thought, at a moment, that I could change the wheels for another system (landing gear...) but I like the way they are,
perhaps I'll change this later.

See ya!

[cyroz2000]

Added some details...

[cyroz2000]

...another view!

[jeroentje]

Looks awsome! :bounce:
Maybe a tail for balance?

[cyroz2000]

Can't understand what happened to the rest of the thread????:surprised
there'were some updates since 08-12!!!!!???

[Aearon]

well the general discussions forum sais that posts of the last 24 hours were lost due to a db crash...it was a lot more though as it seems

the reply count of some threads was cut in a half imo

[cyroz2000]

Thx you Fist!
:beer:

[Aearon]

mh what for ?

np man :buttrock:

[cyroz2000]

Fist:
Thx for telling me what happend,coz I didn't read the general forum...

So as Jeroentje suggested, I added a tail to the machine:

[cyroz2000]

and here is another view:

[road]

This is awesome!!!
I love it.. very nice job on the modelling
I like the idea of turning a car into the flying machine...
great job!

[jeroentje]

Looking pretty cool! :bounce:

What kind of characters did you have in mind for the driver and the gunner? And where will the gunner sit?
jeroentje :beer:

[cyroz2000]

Ok, so here is another pic showing where the gunner will seat.
(I still working on character design for the crew)

[jeroentje]

This is getting better with every update :buttrock:

I was thinking, since it is an Italian car... Whatabout making it some sort of cartoony Police Anti Riot Vehicle with some over the top uniformed, big hatted, big mustached fat police guys with big shiny sunglasses?

See for yourself what you do with it ;)
jeroentje

[cyroz2000]

sounds to be a good idea jeroentje, :beer:
for a moment I thought doing them like the pirates in Porco Rosso (Kurenai No Buta), I'see if I got time to test both!

[mv]

C'est bon! j'aime ton style. L'idée du condé de jeroentje est bien!
