SIXTY-7 body shell re-edit.


I made some private test run on track in some of my cousin's PC. He and his sister was watching my designs roam around the track using "Race View" cam in 4x4 EVOLUTION 2 game. It was perfect view like contorlling remote control RC cars. Slowly the audience picking up opinion and hinted that i should improve the frontal nose of the car chasis hood. The say it was a bit long/protruded out wards and feel abit of 90's exotic cars like the days of Lamborghini Countach. The latest design for frontal chasis and hood suppose to be short nosed and flat just like today's TOYOTA VIOS and 2007 HONDA CIVIC which is short and as close to front wheel fender which most real life manufacturer says it much better that way because for car with front located engine should be place behind front wheel instead of sitting above the engine. The wheels serve as extra obtracles or natural impact bumper before reaching the engine thus pushing the engine impact inertia towards the passanger inside the cockpit. Designs must take into account of driver safety too. The above picture the body shell, it is re-improved short nosed SIXTY-7.

Bird attack!


I'm not lucky today, I was cycling racing ahead of the pack try reaching the finishing point first spot. Cycle along the coastal road then suddenly i felt as if little pebble of rock fell on top of my helmet "tap", "tap"!..i peek a little above my lid...hhmmm??...none! So i keep on pedalling and then "tap!", "tap!"....peek up and i see a white wing flew pass by and made a back turn in a dash...hmmm??.. I keep on pedalling a few meters and there's go again..."tap!" tap!"...a bird flew pass above my head and do some roll barrel 360 up and down sweep in attacking position aim towards my white helmet at high speed! ....WTF!!!....so i accelerate like made fear it would break through the lid and crack my cranium skull. .....I can still hear the bird wings flapped above me like wild! "Shuuuu!! you mad bird! git off! @$%$#^#$". I was like pedal to the metal at high speed until i reached the finishing point and took sharp cornering into Esplanade lot near the beach meeting up with the remaining mountain biker at the parking lot. I braked infront of them and made a big huuufff puuffff breathing. I was like " Did you see that?!"..."See wut?!" the replied. A few minutes later came another of our riding buddies from Poland......."Mad bird! mad bird! wut a wanker!" He was earing a white helmet too..i get it now.

OMG! I'm lazy bumm!

I think i absent minded this month, I forgot to update my blog and check my mail for important request and some stuff. Glad i've checked today and replied to the sender, some are important ones including 3d projects and agreements. Wheww!, glad i've checked that out. Sorry if some of you out there waiting for my e-mail reply. I guess getting as old as 28 can get your brain slow mo like my grand parents.
Some good news is that more and more people grab some of my designs for their productive project including making mods, 3d game development and also fun simple 2d games. I'm really exciting and thankful to those guys who are really supportive an interested in my models. It really make me wanna make more for them. Awesome!

Slack day at models

March! Its march! Omg! This month of march I should get my butt working. Talk about way behind schedule I completely blank minded about SIXTY-7 model. I need to UV map some mirrored body parts in Z-modeler to make left and right side of the car looks synchronized in appearance. On the other I’ve receive a request from female fans propose a special request to ask me to make a special SIXTY-7 with pale pink, pearl white and golden gold lace color theme…..a cute side feeling of the car. As for me I’ll just put it aside first and see if I have enough time slot to built those after completing the original SIXTY-7 models.

Beneath the sunset.


I’ve gone cycling today evening, unlike everyday sunny weather today is much special day. Me and my buddy cycle anti clock wise on our usual route follow along where the wind blows and not against it. Its was not a fast ride we used to cycle like athletes but instead we did an easy ride, pedal easy on the crank and slow down on the speed to enjoy the scenery as wind blow to our face as we stroll along side the coastal path. It was sunset by the time we cruise along the coastal beach, the sun sets down in golden orange color flashing the sea in golden liquid. I release my hand from my handle bar and let it steer freely as my hand wave up into the air and I gaze up into the sky. Wow! Its beautiful…..way up I see a cloud formation pointing and drift towards the sun. It looks like a column of giant floating island of heaven with trails of mini golden shaded clouds forming stairway up to the peak of the heaven’s summit. Just below the cloud it looks like some dusty trails blown like big cotton wool underneath the floating island just like scenes from dust storm from Sahara desert. The back ground sky is all golden orange + pink violet atmospheres. A sight to be holds and inspired….exotically wonderful moment to experiences the scene that comes once in a blue moon. I’m really proud and lucky to be born outdoor type of man and born life outside the box. I wish I could duplicate those moment and clone those environment inside 4x4 EVOLUTION 2 driving experience. It does reminds me like being inside the game’s stock track AUTUMN LEAF as shown in the picture above.
