This is really cool, liking the progress so far Figured I might as well offer my two cents about design, I really like what you have done with the greenhouse, though if you are going to go with the Alpine twin lights, it might be better to incorprate more of the front (and maybe even rear) ends of the Alpine 110 onto the porsche proportions One of the problems with a lore friendly Porsche is that it is such a timeless, recognizeable design, much like the Beetle, which when changed too much ends up looking odd, and honestly not all that original anyway For me personally I would probably go with the first sketch, even if it is a bit too close to the Porsche, but changing subtle things (like you have with the rear windows) this is the route I have taken with the sunrise, which is almost a 1:1 of a BNR32 but different enough to not be a complete copy the other route you could take is to give the Alpine A110 'porsche' proportions, which would certainly be unique but not too sure how that would look, would have to sketch it and see And I really like that flatnose sketch as well, this may also be a wise route as the popups remove the 'iconic' design problem, giving you a bit more freedom to create something unique
back when me and nacho initially designed the car together we tried applying alpine bits to the car but it simply doesn’t work, what makes the 911 recognizable is it’s silhouette because it’s retained the same shape for 60 years now. It’s remained relatively unchanged in my design and differs from the real thing slightly
We have asked around and we think that we have changed enough for it to be its own thing while still being recognisable as both of the cars its inspired by
No worries, that sound fair enough then honestly with the roofline change and subtle differences here and there it certainly is unique enough I guess what I really want to say is that if you go ahead with this design, just be careful thay it doesn't end up like that goofy ahh beetle I posted earlier but honestly the more I look at this twin headlight porsche the more I am starting to like it might even be worth doing a quick wire sketch in 3D to visualise the design too. I got the idea after seeing LJ's work on the Signia, and it is honestly a great way to visualise how a car will look before you actually startt modeling, allowing you to iron things out if the design isn't as good as you expected
just thought ab this right now, Im not doing the chassis modeling nacho is, but about the vw beetle funnily enough my first huge project i wanna pursue is a AW beetle, that is a sister car to the piccolina using similar styling to the 911
just rereading and from what I can understand you think the slantnose won’t have pop ups, the one I had posted is a race car and there will be pop ups on the homologated car
heres the final wheel! (unless i find more lol) im pretty happy with how smoothly the modeling process went
i lied lol, found another set of wheels i liked. these are 15 inch okudai krw's and they'll come in 8 wide and 10 wide --- Post updated ---
i return to show all of the wheels for the herrman completed, all of which minus the 2 aftermarket wheel choices have colorable versions available as well as multiple sizes for these wheels, if anyone wants to see specific ones let me know! p.s none of the wheels have a logo since one doesnt exist yet
Just finished modeling this thing! its piccolina based as it was the closest to the real 911 chassis and ive made something im extremely proud of
