After more than a month of work on other, more important projects, i’m back on the 695!

Big news on the front of the car! Two new racing headlamps!

I know that shutting the two original headlights while adding two new ones is a little mental, but i like to think that the mechanic had his own reasons… I don’t know :D

Actually, someone told me that those headlamps ruin the car’s style. Maybe. Personally, I like them.

We’ll see if they make it to the final cut!

And now, on the back:

at the moment I’m modeling the engine. I’d say it’s already been 10 to 15 hours of work. Red parts are still low poly blocks for general proportions.

Fun yet a little bit tiring, to say the least. :)

…but!

I’m not very satisfied of how i’m handling the whole thing.

The proportions of the block are way off, and the thing became clear as soon as I went back to the 695 scene. Fitting the engine in the trunk required a lot of fixes and scaling.

Dragged by enthusiasm, I put way too much details in areas that will never be visible.

And on top of all, i have this slight sense of disorientation, since i know less than half of the parts i’m modelling.

Let’s just say that i hope to see the engine finished and fitted as soon as possible. I really want to work again on the car’s exterior, but i don’t like hanging parentheses :)

That’s all for now! Have a great weekend!
