The quarter panel R/T emblems need to be bigger though & no stickers on the doors for a 69 :nono:

:cheers:
:iagree: That door sticker's more of a '70 item. Also, make the gas pedal shorter & a tad more narrow...hmmm, brake pedal too. ;)


The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

So it looks fantastic as a computer model. But what the heck can you do with a computer model? You can't drive it. So is it just for looks?

It's just a hobby really, making the model has taught me a lot about the software which I use for work, so it has helped in that way. But for me the fun is getting to the point where I start rendering it, seeing what it looks like, trying to make it look real. I live in the UK and the closest I'll ever get to a Charger is looking at one at a car show, so this is just for fun coz I love Chargers. I've had lots of real cars, I built a Pro Street car several years ago with 9", 14x15's etc etc, but now that I have kids I've stopped playing with cars, bought a wagon and settled down, so my 'virtual' workshop is all I have right now :)

Ok, here it is. I know the engine isn't 100% accurate, but hopefully it looks ok from a distance. It's all done from photos as I don't have access to a real Charger :(

Well, aside from the aformentioned bolt colours and the hood pad being a little off (on a real pad I don't think you would see the underside hood lines), the most obvious thing I see missing under the hood is DIRT!  Real Chargers have dirty engines (because real Chargers get driven - a LOT)

The attention to detail on this model is mind blowing.  To think that you created this based solely on pictures (many of which were provided by members of this board) is beyond amazing.  There are no words to describe it.

I salute you!   :cheers:

Wondering if he can do a low angle night shot (low light) from the rear or rear 3/4 with the taillights on...

I'll try, but it might not look like the real thing. I have lights in there set up so can turn them on but I just haven't tried it yet on the full model. Next time I'm rendering I'll give it a go (I have to sort out that bumper first, add the pentastar etc etc.....). Oh man, I knew if I showed it to you guys I'd never finish it :)

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to all you lucky Charger owners.. and thanks for your comments about my 3d Charger. I know it's still not 100%, but I've got to stop working on it at some point, so here are the last renders of it.

Just caught up with this thread and can't believe my eyes! Those pics/renders are awesome! I'd love to see the DMCL Charger as well!

It's coming, I just made a start on that version. I got the wheels done, the stripe is almost there too so here's what I got so far (the colour isn't final). I don't know the car and I've never seen the film, but hopefully it'll be reasonably accurate when it's done.
And there's also another render which shows the car on a background photo.

Awesome pictures!

But there are a few things that don't look 100% accurate to me - I marked them in the picture.
This is no criticism - just some help to build the perfect Charger model  :icon_smile_cool:
