1933 Napier Railton

Hey everyone. I am hoping this will be the piece of work that lands me a job so I have decided to be pretty ambitious with this one and build the 1933 Napier Railton. It's a car that set 47 land speed records between 1933 and 1937. I chose this because It seams pretty difficult and has heaps of different materials so it should look awesome with PBR. Plus I think it is a pretty bad ass looking machine!!

I did a very quick blockout. Just to get some of the proportions right. Now on to fine tuning.

That's gonna be awesome man, it looks like it'll be alot of fun to work on. Do you have a poly limit you're going to work with or just whatever you end up with that makes it look cool?

I'm always pretty tight with my polycount but I definitely don't want to mess with the silhouette in any way. Do you have any suggestions on what the limit should be?

This will be an interesting one! Really impressive model car you picked as a reference.

I thought I would post a small update. Haven't worked on it much, just trying to get most of the large parts to scale and got the wheels out of the way. I have heaps to do before I take it into zbrush and have some spare time coming up so will really push to get this done. There are so many little suspension peices on this car!! But I guess I wanted a challenge

I have a question for anyone who has any ideas. Howl long would it take for a pro to make this kind of asset for a AAA game? That's from modelling to texturing.
