I made a free, 15 hour Blender course on low poly car modelling using the iconic Peugeot 205. I’m very proud of it and I’d love to know how you get on.

Still some tidy up to do and a few more details to add but I'm really pleased with how this is looking. One of my favourite ever cars, the Group A E30 M3

Work in progress 'remastering' of my Impreza model that I made aagggeees ago to bring in more in to line with my current models. Borrowed wheels from a P1 GTR. Fancy

A couple of mighty 6R4s in their Lombard RAC rally liveries. Not enough race and rally cars are sponsored by crisps... Instant childhood nostalgia for me making these two. I can hear the Top Gear Rally Report music in my head as I type

Modelling finished (well it needs some bonnet pins and an ariel), primed and ready for the paint shop. The Mini Metro on every kind of steroid it could find and one of the most iconic cars of the Group B scene

About 9 million quids worth of polygons here. Which one do you want?

Personal favourite of mine is chassis 044, which wears a tribute to the brilliant Team Lark McLaren F1 designed by @andyblackmore.bsky.social . Hopefully I've done it justice!

I've launched a store offering customisable car illustrations of both modern and classic race, rally and road cars. It's in a bit of a soft launch phase at the moment and there are new designs being added every couple of days, but if you know any car fanatics, send them my way

As much for my own sanity as anything else, I'm done with this McLaren P1 GTR model. I'm going to paint up some of the other chassis designs but otherwise I'm happy with where it is at

Nearly finished with this, just a few more details to do and then a UV unwrap. Loads more complexity to this than I initially thought, but pleased with how this is progressing

One of the many advantages of trying to make so many cars is my understanding of the topology of them has got a lot better. Still plenty to learn but combining it with my weird determination to make the Hotwheels style 'shells'. Any guesses on this WIP?

Sure picked a bad day to finish working on this design eh? Just to be clear, I made this because I love this legendary M3 GTR race car, not because of anything this flag currently represents.

I've done a bit of a 'remaster' on one of my older models, bumped up the poly count on some more angular parts, given it the correct wheels and now it's ready to go in to the paint shop for a particularly iconic livery

Inspired by the 90s Toyota rally cars, knocked up some quick Oz Rally Racing wheels for my GR Yaris model and now I want one more than ever. Makes it look like a mini RC car for the road

Two different answer to the same question launched 40 years apart and both would be very welcome in my dream garage.

Which one do you want the keys to?

I don't think this is necessarily good work flow advice for game art modelling, but I find that what works best for me is to try and model everything as one object, maintaining quads where I can. Means everything lines up when I break things apart.

Work in progress of the Toyota GR Yaris which I thought would be a pretty straight forward shape to model, but there is a *lot* going on at the front and back and I've not nailed that crease between the door and the rear arch, but we'll get there.

So I made the mistake of posting
my 205 render on /r/rally because I thought people appreciate a fellow nerd recreating obscure liveries.

Instead I had a guy lecturing me over and over about how it wasn’t low poly despite the fact I posted no wire frames.

Two legendary British World Rally Champions cut their teeth in the might 205 GTI and went on to carve their names in rally history in their own contrasting styles.

A little tribute to them made in Blender

Low poly Peugeot 205 1.6 as driven by the late, great Colin McRae in the 1988 Lombard RAC Rally.

Okay car nerds, just finished the wireframes guide lines for my next 3 cars for my project. Can you tell what they are?

I'm not saying that modern cars have got 'fussy' but the 80s one took me half the time of the others...
