Are these on Workshop?
[QUOTE=RichCrentist;49803581]Are these on Workshop?[/QUOTE] No, and they never will be. I'd rather burn all my backups than let these things fall into the cesspool that is public Workshop duplications.
No new design ideas, so I've just been fixing, updating and adjusting my older models. This one received the most drastic changes, so I decided to take new screenshots. I redesigned the headlights, did slight trim adjusting, reworked the interior and changed the color from ash gray to light cyan.

There are not enough ratings for this thread - honestly - these are fantastic!
It was a long time coming, but I finally had another design idea. I built this based mostly on a hazy image I got from a dream. That dream gave me the general shape, color and tail lights, but the other details remained a bit blurry, so I took inspiration from Italian designs from 50's and 60's, most notably Ghia and Bertone.

This one has to be one of my new personal favorites. I initially wanted to make an exaggerated 30's design, but then I had an idea... What if I tried to mix the shapes of a Bugatti Atlantic with the shapes of a Chevrolet Corvette C2? I went to work, and this is the result. It changed a lot during modeling, so I'm not sure how much of the Corvette inspiration still shows.

Now here's a design where I tried to go for a full 80's concept car look. This took way too damn long to make because of the serious difficulties I had with designing it, mostly due to my inexperience with this particular style. Damn, it's so much easier to work with curves than angles.

Finally, after a long period of no new ideas, I got TWO new ideas! Two little economy cars built on the same basis, but with beefy exposed engines and a nice bit of power to boot. Designs inspired by Mazda Carol 360 and Fiat 500.

Usually my designs are inspired by mid to late 50's stuff, but this time I wanted to do something more late 40's / early 50's. This is the result. Not sure why I put an exposed rear engine on this one. Just kinda felt like it. EDIT: Changed the pictures of the rear because I redesigned the rear bumper.

A taxi version of the previous car, because why not. [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/243584730431732090/25AE0E6EADB71690829FCCE31678E8ECDA0DA640/[/T]
Decided to make a police version of my latest model as well. Now there's 3 versions in total, all seen in this picture. Which one's your favorite? [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/218815564750423955/97274C4257E529D6C869033269BF339415642BC7/[/T] [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/218815564750424306/7A42AC77D885219B948CDC5F698D22D620204706/[/T]
This time something completely different and out of my usual style! I wanted to see if I could convert one of the Half Life 2 junk cars into a nice gritty hovercar. This is the result. Wheels replaced, antigrav engine added, windows added and more interior detail. [B][3 OLD SCREENSHOTS REMOVED][/B] EDIT: I felt like it needed more detail, so here it is again. Added heftier bumpers, some side piping, one more prop to the engine, a roof scoop and a little bit more interior detail.

Another one for the gritty series, this time a taxi. [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/143381995905421131/04FC800A730BBB86AED2D927E3138FD0B0B74F07/[/T] [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/143381995905421663/776A42EA7544AF26AB334F4E3B01365B8B0E926B/[/T]
I wanted to make something small, 70's and Japanese. This is the result. I wanted the dimensions of a Datsun 100A with the badassery of 70's Skylines and Celicas. I don't usually give my designs side mirrors because I consider them a disposable detail, but with this one I just HAD to get those specific side mirrors seen in 70's Japanese cars. They are such an integral part of that aesthetic.

A funny thing happened with this one. When it was still just an idea in my head, I found out that a car like it already exists IRL. I almost didn't build it because of that, but eventually I did anyways. Look up Lancia Aurelia PF200. The front is pretty similar.

This has been requested a few times, and now that all of my hovercars have a flightmode as well, I finally decided to make my own interpretation of the space car from The Jetsons. I know the original doesn't have any kinds of lights, but screw it, I wanted to make it a bit more visually interesting. Sadly the sound doesn't match the original. Belive me, I tried to find something, ANYTHING that would have kinda sorta sounded like the original, but no luck.

Another in my series that converts the HL2 junkers into something better. This time a double feature, because this particular car was a perfect basis for a cop car as well.

I like it, makes me think there's been an apocalyptic event in a far future where they have hovercars. Think mad max set in 3xxx
[QUOTE=Recurracy;51648431]I like it, makes me think there's been an apocalyptic event in a far future where they have hovercars. Think mad max set in 3xxx[/QUOTE] Actually, I tried to go more for a "10 years of bullshit in the worst part of Neo Detroit" kinda look, not post-apocalypse.
i dont see the difference
This one is definitely one of my new personal favorites. A lot of inspiration from Mercury XM-800.

A long time ago someone suggested that I should make a hovercar based on a Porsche 356 Speedster. Well, here it is. It's not a recreation, more like my own "haha, you can't sue" take on it.

This time I've been just updating old designs. This one is one of my old personal favorites. I felt that it needed a new roof and some more detail on the sides.

Welcome to Sloppy Joe's! Another HL2 junker conversion. This one was probably the most difficult one so far because there's not much of the van left. It took a long time of thinking how to fill in the missing pieces, and how to "justify" the dangliest pieces. And yes, the name is a reference to rp_omgcity. It just felt appropriate.

Someone once suggested that I should do a hovercar based on a modern Mustang. Welp, here it is! This was a real challenge, as I'm not used to this style. Turned out really nice regardless. The tail lights went through maybe 8 revisions.

Turned the APC from HL2 into an armored hovercar. Seats 12 players! The biggest challenge was to give an interior to this damn model. And no, it's not fit for ACF combat.... Yet.

Back again with another model. This one had an interesting journey, because it's a re-interpretation of a re-interpretation. Long story short, I made two hovercars, then combined them into one for BallisticNG, and this one is a re-interpretation of that one. This particular version takes a lot of inspiration from 1930's speed record cars, and Virgil Exner's Mercer Cobra.
