Title: Red Baron Hot Rod
Name: Bill Plewes
Country: Canada
Software: Lightwave 3D, Photoshop

3D verson of the famous Tom Daniel design dating back to 1968 that has been a seen as a Hot Wheels die cast, Monnogram model kit and fully built up customs.
Doing this model sort of takes me back to when I used to build practical models like this in my parents basement on my fathers workbench.
Built and rendered in Lightwave and texturing done in Photoshop.

Ahhh....thanks for bringing back a fond memory! I had this model too; we're showing our age, aren't we?!

Yes, my version was built in the basement on my dad's bench......I still build them but the bench is now my own.
The render is a bit blurry. Maybe a better render to clear up some of the lost detail. Nice to see the occational hot rod.
