Nerd Koopa's hovercars

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;47898022]Do you ever respond to replies?[/QUOTE]

Not usually. If this is about the military vehicles suggestion, the answer is "maybe, but unlikely". I prefer civilian designs most of the time.

[Viper123_SWE]

Nah I was just wondering in general, seeing as there's alot of unresponded replies here. :v:
I any case, keep up the good work.

Sadogus (I think) suggested that I should flip the middle seat row around. I originally had that in mind when building, but decided against it. However, his suggestion encouraged me to try again, so here's an alternate seating version of the minivan. It turned out pretty nice after all.

Another sporty 2-seater. This one is now the second fastest hovercar in my collection.

The designs of the cars are making me imagine a 50's retro-futuristic Noire story.

All these neo-50's hovercars, and only now do I make a design with a bubbletop roof. The custom cars of Darryl Starbird finally encouraged me to try this design element again after only using it in one car body back in Gmod 12.

These look amazing, so retro-future it almost hurts. I had no idea you could do this stuff with holo, I'm so out of touch.

[Nerd Koopa]

Here's a hover racer inspired by old land speed record cars.

Another small, muscle car esque hovercar.

Partially inspired by one of the alternate covers of Driver 2.

[Nerd Koopa]

Here's a hover racer inspired by the Wipeout game series. I guess there's a mixture of Auricom and Mirage crafts on this design.

[Nerd Koopa]

Another Wipeout style racer. This time very heavily inspired by the low-poly models of the early PS1 titles.

[Recurracy]

Man, you're dedicated. Good stuff, I like it

[Nerd Koopa]

I felt like the latest model was lacking something, so I reworked it a little.

[Nerd Koopa]

A big convertible partially inspired by 60's Lincoln Continentals. There might be a touch of Impala in the front too.

Whyteboxer suggested that I should try a touring hovercar. I thought "that's a good idea" and went for it. However, one thing led to another, and I ended up with a tuner instead of a touring car. Sorry Whyte. Maybe I can turn this one into a track version on a later date.

[Nerd Koopa]

An antigrav racer inspired by 30's racing planes, and the Tigron Enterprises ship from Wipeout Fusion.

Some people have requested me to make a Ferrari style hovercar, so here it is. Mainly inspired by Ferrari 330 P4. I hope it's still different enough from the inspiration source.

[Nerd Koopa]

Here's a design inspired by small, high-performance hatchbacks from late 80's and early 90's.

[Divalent]

You should make some videos :D

[Nerd Koopa]

This model was my attempt at making a boxy design look cool. I wanted it to have a certain aura of authority and power. It was mostly inspired by the Volvo 700 series, with a little bit of Chrysler 300C thrown in.

[Nerd Koopa]

A small 3-seater design inspired by 50's and 60's microcars. The combined power source / main grav manipulator unit on the back is animated.

[Nerd Koopa]

I wanted to do something with a more Decopunk look, so I made this design. It was quite interesting to research the Art Deco style to get a better grip on it. I tried to bring some of the architectural details into the ornaments of the car.

A heavily VW inspired hoverbus. I'm pretty proud of the side profile on this one, with its glass front doors, nicely flowing window openings and concave back window.

That thing is a work of art.

[Nerd Koopa]

With this one I went full dream car, something that wouldn't have looked out of place in Motorama 1956. It was a challenging one, but I'm really proud of the end result. This is probably the single most 50's thing I've ever designed!

This design was HEAVILY inspired by the 1956 Chrysler Plainsman concept car. And I mean HEAVILY. Hell, it's basically a glass-roofed ripoff!

[Nerd Koopa]

Another muscle car inspired design. Heavy Corvette C2 influences on the rear window and dashboard. The rest is a wild mishmash. This one broke my personal hologram record with 90 holograms on the body, 95 holos in total if you count the steering wheel E2.

Not much to say about this design, other than that the concave sides and front were an interesting challenge.
