Frankenstein’s Monster
Following Johnny’s lead, last Saturday I started on the car that I’m modeling for this project, known as Frankenstein’s Monster. A Fifth-generation Ford Mustang armed with 2 M134′s, smokescreen, napalm and oil slick for defense, as well as a 6-inch thick steel plate on the rear bumper called “The Tombstone.”
After quickly finding front and side line drawings of the Mustang, I started the process using a technique that I’ve learned relatively recently which involves using splines to create a cage of the model.
From there, using a surface modifier and converting it to polygons, I ended up with some pretty rough geometry, but it was a start.
More time working on it (and temporarily borrowing wheels from my Ducati Motorcycle model)
Having the general shape of a 2005 Mustang, I load up my movie reference and realize my front end needed tweaking.
She’s far from finished, but I’ve got her rolling.
