Cars Ford Transit 2005 (WIP)

[garyjpaterson]

Ha only pulling your leg really!
I will take a few snaps of the next mk6 low roof that comes into the workshop though if you want.
They are pretty smooth anyway but with few lines and shapes for sunroof cutout..

Already started making some ribs - basing it on this pic, best I can find. May not be perfect but no one will see it anyway

Would be alright if that was actually a Transit (the blue on in the background is, not a mk6 mind you though)

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

hehe sorry, but now you've just found a new excuse to delay the release lol

Mk7

 

[garyjpaterson]

Mk7

Its also just a funny shape in general... very, very poorly made model that one. Look at the top of the windscreen, straight as a ruler!

I'd imagine the mk6 and 7 roofs are the same anyway, however there is no way I'd take reference off of that model in a million years

 

[garyjpaterson]

You can rest easy now, I've added them...

Haha now that is perfection!!
It does look much nicer too, you must agree?

Certainly does, though when I first started it it was never avoided as at that time I was still working towards a 150k total tri budget or something, these days things have moved on

Just checking the taillight normals are working properly, thinking I should just leave them like this?

 

[Emery]

A few more livery ideas?

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

high roof as optional from the setup? (since you're "waiting" so much hehe, j/k here)

my bad, it's a whole different car, but it would work with the siren on top, as a setup option, like Daniel did with the vortex endurance lights?

In the showroom, will the side doors be openable too?

No, because then I have to model the load bay too. And its just 1 side door, just a blank at the other side.
I could do it, but it both eats into the poly count that could be better used elsewhere, but more importantly its time that could be used elsewhere, for something people will look at once and forget about.

Anyway, barring LODs/damage etc to be done at the end, I'm calling the exterior finished (until I see something I've inevitably forgotten).

Looks amazing
Do you plan to do a LHD version, too?

Man, that sucks. I really wanted to do a whole bunch of liveries

Spoiler: Spoiler

There was an ask to propose skins for the mod in the "What are you WIP?" topic.
Here are some:
I hope you remember, some month ago I propose the Ford Rally Team Transit to make for S1 version.
You said, that you won't modelling it, but you will use the livery. (Saidly all cars have the bigger box, than your car, so can't make the same livery)

Today I noticed, that there is 3 versions of that skin according to the Focus WRC's liveries:

Version 2000

Version 2001 (This is in the Colin Mcrae Rally 3)

Version 2002 (This is in the Colin Mcrae Rally 4)

The are some older and newer Ford Motorsport liveries, maybe you can made it for this transit too, if you want.

There is a lot of Post and Package Delivery firms on the other forum. The hungarian post office has a classical dark green livery. But I think they never used Ford models. :s

But I found these transit on the net:

This isa copy of the base of the Ford Transit Supervan 3. Maybe you can include Supervan 2 and 3 skin too.

 

[tibi]

There was a rumour to make a Police, Ambulance version. In Hungary there are some skins for it, if it happen.
(There is a website, where all the used blue ligthbar car was collected)

 

[tibi]

And here are some livery propose from hungary. The first 2 is a hungarian rally raid team service van, who drive a Ford Ranger.
