Looking Good! This is one of the pretty, original Ferraris. Only thing is

Yep, i Love this car if i could have one in real life i would... As for the tires there just there as place holders as you see the car is floating...lol... i had a tred on it but i didnt like it (it was a poly modeled tred and i think im going to go with a displacement tred on it)... Thanks for ypu reply

Ps. if any one would like the blueprints for this car just ask. There not on the Net as far as i know. Mine are pictures i have taken from my Big Ferrari book...

Still looking good. I know this is a WIP but there seems to be a 'kink' in the sides of the

hood about half way back from the front. So good to see this car modeled. And the color
is great; simple and Red! :thumbsup:

[DerMeister]

Ok did the back wrong so i re did it and i think it looks alot better... C&C please...

It has been so long since I have seen pictures of this car that I didn't pick-up on the

error in the back. If you look at the reflections and highlights, you can see areas that will
need tweaking down the line. The area in the hood that I mentioned before is where the
mesh changes in the fender. The hood mesh stops matching the fender mesh and gives the
area a slight 'hump'. Hope this makes sense. I like it, this should be a little sweetheart when
it is finished. :thumbsup:

hey, nice car and nice start. It has the perfect ferrari color already ^^

The line on the side of the car needs some work, but good luck with the rest!

Alan, What is happening with the 166mm? I was really looking forward to seeing this car finished. :shrug:

[DerMeister]

What is happening with the 166mm?

Well had some tests last week. they took up much of my time. then had some 3d block (like writers block). But since you ask i did some work on it. i started the F430 to take my mind off the 166 for a bit so that i could get somenew ideas and it worked. so im back at it again. going to try to work on each each day. dont know if that will work well but well see...

If you want any close ups of other parts of the car just ask.

[Silverdog]

Glad to hear that you are back on it. Understand the 3d block; hope it is short. Hope the tests went well. :thumbsup: Kent

[DerMeister]

I hope the tests went well. i wont find out till july. well got an update made the door seems a bit more pronounced and i am tweeking in interior of the car. If any one can find me pictures of the interior it would be greatly apprieciated. Its hard to find ref pics of a car that only 14 were ever made. Also some C&C on the car.
