Thank you guys.

A bit of progress on the bumper.

Sexy.

It looks nice!

Summer is approaching and so the need of a cheap (in 1983) summer car.

I don't think I need to introduce what's an AE86 any more?
This is an iconic old car, which now cost a kidney when correctly preserved!

My work will be an approximation of an AE86, with as close as possible stock specs.
(Like if you walked in your dealer-room in 1983!)

I started up that as a side-project while dealing with daily health issues but it turned out to be way more interesting to make than what I envisaged.
I'm eager to make progress at any time my body let me.

Thank you.

I got health issues that greatly slow down the project but it's not dead!
Current progress:

Looks nice!

Thank you for the updates.

Quote from Tomsteel :

Applying any decals for example on the side, it would look strange if the gaps would be painted aswell. For a full coloring like on your picture I found it easier to tweak the sliders for the body color rather than painting it on the skin, but I might be wrong, so please correct me if so.

Keeping the gaps body coloured is reducing opportunities for skinners, even a simple two tone scheme is sadly looking weird due to it.
Anything placed on a skin can easily be made to fit around the gaps (it only takes a second to make a mask layer).
I genuinely think more complex skins (like racing painjobs) would suffer from that; I hope you see my point.

Would it be possible to make the white parts skinnable like the rest?

Great work.

Current progress.

Thanks everyone.

Here's the current progress:

Nice project, good luck!

Current progress:

Interesting "prop", nice work.

With its 6.4m length, you'll be able to cut other people with ease.

I reworked the front part of the roof and continued working on the front/side.
Here's a screenshot from Blender with dummy materials.

Creating cars to hit the racetrack is great but.. how do you transport the parts, tyres and equipment?

Wonder no more!

RWD, lovely turbodiesel, 3 seats and four wheels!



Vaguely based on a Transit Jumbo high roof, similar specs planned.

Here's the current progress, the meshes are a bit messy but I believe it's actually my most perfected one.

Trying out the current progress in game to check how LFS handles the model.
It's way better than I expected, I'm eager to progress and reach the point I make the suspension model.

Is there a way to keep maps/cutouts when reloading an obj?

I agree to both of you, I'd love to have proper hybrid drivetrains and I'm also impatient to drive like a grandma on TC.

I lost motivation and love for my work due to the improper modelling, so I scrapped my work and started over, in hope of better quality.

Here's the bumpers and a early model of bonnet:

Mod is based on the first generation Toyota Mirai.
