There have been a few technical difficulties while making the second video but i've pretty much fixed it now so the second highlight video should be done in the next day or so. [QUOTE=madmax678;17127212]also, nice views where you went, it was like that when i want to Thassos in greece (just with less green)[/QUOTE] Was there a zip line there as well?
[QUOTE=Master Chris;17138742]Was there a zip line there as well?[/QUOTE] Heh, if there was, i woulden't of went on it. I went Offroading up and around the mountains instead.
OK here is the second highlight video, this shows the Blonay-Chamby historic railway and the 'Vevey', a paddle boat on Lake Geneva. Also from 1:16 to 1:24 you can see my friend Terrence, he works at the railway. He looks a bit like captain jack sparrow from pirates of the caribbean. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYckUuNpLOw[/media] There may be a third video coming later but I'm going back to school tomorrow and I would like to get back to work on the Dodge Charger model as well. Expect updates soon.
Bumped, Sorry Mods, Just keeping it in the loop.
Ok small update, sorry no pictures yet but there has been some progress on the doors and the body area surrounding the doors. I have added details such as the door seals, lock, hinges and almost finished the sils, I'm going to be starting on the floor pan and basic interior tomorrow so there will be pictures soon.
yay an update
^this.

[QUOTE=laserpanda;17280343][url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRR_S1[/url] Another train worth modeling.[/QUOTE] Yeah I know about that one but I have had no luck trying to get blueprints for it, I have been able to find some for the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRR_S2]PRR S2[/url] though. Also, [b]Update Time![/b] I have started on the interior and added a lot more detail to the door, locking mechanisms and seals though I'm still not quite finished with it yet. The door sils, floor and firewall are just about finished and I will be adding the transmission tunnel next.

[img]http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/8389/overview1.png[/img] Current polycount is 23,547.
awesome... it's a great update!

car models? that's great
[QUOTE=DMGaina;17299535]He doesn't live in Denmark and the licence plate is german.[/QUOTE] *Sarcasm* @_@
I must say, lookin' good. This car has come a long way.
[b]Another update[/b], the transmission tunnel is just about done, just some trim, interior lights and then the gear stick to do. [img]http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/3343/transmissiontunnel1.png[/img] [img]http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/2617/transmissiontunnel2.png[/img] [img]http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/8941/transmissiontunnel3.png[/img] The current tricount has gone up to 24,107, I may be able to cut down in some places but I will probably do that when the model is closer to completion.
^What he said. Nice work on the interior.
Very nice, I like very much.
[b]Update:[/b] Gear shift is done, I went with a pistol grip style. Also added the footwell lights and trim.

I think I will work on either the pedals or the steering wheel next.
I personally would prefer a ball shifter with a big red button on it, like the Jalopy had but ok. Would be pretty cool if it was an 8 ball and the 8 was the turbo button :v:

I may however do an 8-ball shifter on another version of this model later on.
Oh. IMO the hotrod version (if you make one) should include the 8 ball shifter.
have you made the steering wheel?
[QUOTE=Master Chris;17471722]The jalopy had an automatic gearbox, the red button is the shift lock button. I may however do an 8-ball shifter on another version of this model later on.[/QUOTE] or the Off-roader maybe?
[QUOTE=~B3~;17476232]have you made the steering wheel?[/QUOTE] Not yet, but that's one of the things I'm going to do next. [QUOTE=madmax678;17477817]or the Off-roader maybe?[/QUOTE] Perhaps, I'll see when I get to that point.
