Philip ‘msater’ Oakley has been working on the McLaren MP4/9 car for the last couple of weeks. He is also one of our new members working on his first model. The original McLaren was build by Marco Büttner and now receives the necessary updates to bring the model up to standards. Philip has mainly been working on the back end of the car, which includes the cockpit (needed resizing, it’s not yet finished) the engine cover, the rearwing, and the sidepods. He still need to do the rear suspension reorganization and the rest of our long todo list.
Next on the list to do is finish the cockpit resizing, reorganize the rear suspension to make it accurate, and make sure the rear of the car under the rear wing is good, along with the diffuser and the bottom of the rear wing After that, he is going to start on the nose cone and front wing.
Philip is the only one in the team using Blender 3D. We are curious how this turns out.
Here are a couple of pictures from the current state of the car. Enjoy!
At the moment it’s (obviously) a bit rough, but we’re all looking forward to the final result! 🙂
Yeah, I didn’t smooth the model, because I prefer to work with smoothing off. I need to get the smoothing correct too which I will do after the model is finished!
Well, it’s interesting to see progress in this way too: after all every person has his own modelling method, but what matters is the final result. And I’m sure we won’t be disappointed! 😉 Keep up the good work Philip!
Looks nice!
Thanks guys I know it’s hard work and of course dun in your spare time, appreciate it! 🙂
