Introduction.
🕑 Added 2024-12-16 22:08:37 +0000 UTCHello and welcome! Some may know me from my past work in GTR2 and the WSC1967 mod, some may know me from my recent AC activity, some may not know me at all, so here we go:
I'd like to start with telling a little sad story about myself. Since I was wee lad I used to scribble and draw cars, this evolved to designing my own cars by the age of 10, giving them fancy names and so on. This habit I brought with me to school where, while bored out of my mind, I just drew cars and bikes on the school's tables.
Now, I watched a podcast with Gordon Murray where he described a similar habit while attending art school, the teacher picked up on his antics and told him: you are at the wrong place Gordon, you should enroll in a technical drawing school. So he did and the rest is history. Well, my story panned out a tad bit differently: my teacher basically told me to stop it or she'll send me to the rectors office.
I'm here to try and do somethin with a hobby, a talent, and most of all, a passion that I keep coming back to time and time again, creating, making, modelling cars. My absolute dream scenario would be being able to support my masters studies I plan on enrolling in soon by doing what I love doing the most. I'll be extremely grateful for every bit of support I get towards achieving this dream. And if it doesn't happen, no biggie, I'm here to stay and I want to make some pretty cars!
Now, if it doesn't happen, the amount of time I'll be able to put into the cars will be less of course, due to jobs, etc. etc... In such a scenario you can expect a car to be finished anywhere in between 3 to 5 months. If however the goal is achieved, I'd go as far as to promise a car per month.
The focus will mostly be on 60s Sportscars that raced here, there and everywhere, but by no means does this exclude any other type or era of car. A big ambition is to delve deep into designing cars, some of the most famous "what if" scenarios from motorsports, or possible future cars:
What if Jaguar actually raced the XJ13 in 1966 and 1967 how would that car look like?
What if Lamborghini made a prototype based on the Miura?
What if Mercedes entered WEC with an LMH car in 2026?
What if Ferrari raced in the LMP class in '99 with a car based roughly on the F50's design?
Many more ideas like these....
I will only ever agree to work on 2 cars simultaneously, and when I work on what will be decided by you. Democracy!
All of my creations will eventually be FREE and PUBLIC. Let me be clear with this! And they will be worked on, after I finish the 3D work, by some of the most talented people in the modding scene, I have good connections, let's put it like that B)
