Released Classic Austin/Rover Mini

Hi all,
I am surprised by the lack of small cars and English cars in BeamNG so I thought I would try to make one. The classic mini as its also known was a small car made in the UK from 1959-2001 (I am focussing on one model, the mark 1 1959-69 for now) before being sold in 2001 to BMW who made the (not so) mini and are still making it as of late 2017. I am a complete noob and this will be my first but I do have access to a mini (a 1993 Mini Sprite 1275cc). I just want to see what you guys would think to an icon of British motoring in BeamNG I will need help so any help you can offer is greatly appreciated

 

Making cars for BeamNG is not easy as just making the body & then everything creates itself... So good luck, but it will take months to make the car

 

I realise It won't be easy, and I will need help with things but I hope people can offer their help to me

 

Now that's the thinking I like.

 

You are not supposed to create a thread without any showable progress. Not here at least, if you want ideas or suggestions you canuse general discussion.
Good luck

 

The MINI is my favorite line of cars, it will be awesome to see one in game!

 

OK, like I said I'm a noob, updates will hopefully start coming soon

Thanks for the support! It wont be done anytime soon but I hope to get it done within 6 months to a half decent standard

 

I can give you a hand on modelling, though I am very busy at the moment and probably wont do it yet..

 

I'm trying to blender at the moment, I'll give it a go and speak to you if I need any tips, thanks for the offer anyway, I'll keep you in mind!

 

I don't do blender, but I do Sketchup

 

I do blender, but I only know the basics, so I can't really help =\

 

is sketchup a better programme? I'll try to blend then ask you if I need help and I'll use sketchup

 

Sketchup does not support the .DAE format, and does not always work with beamng even when converted

 

I can give you support in Blender, since I'm learning it the past half year

 

ok thank you for the offer, Ii will get in touch if I need help
