I'm doing my first carshape, and I have decided to do an IRL Indycar shape. If everything works out okay, and I seem to enjoy the shaping, and if I'm quite good at it, I will consider forming a team to make an IRL Indycar mod 2005.

But first things first. I've never ever done an Zmodeler shape before, so I'm totally new, and I'm trying to learn things from tutorials. It seems for starters you need some blueprints, of really good foto's of the side, front, back, and top of the cars. I've looked for these things, but can't find the things I need. Maybe someone can help me in this? I'll keep you updated if there is any significant progress, or if there is any interest in it...

Don't know about pics, but why not ask oggo for some advice? His CART mods are great....

i don't know too much about the differences in body shape other than the wings being different shapes...but might be better to start editing another car rather tahn try and build one from scrathc straight away??? ust a thought....

I've already modified many cars for personal use. So I do have some little experience in shaping... I've redone Yohan's Toyota for example. And some minor tweaks on other cars... But this is my first one from scratch. Gotta start somewhere.

Good luck with your new carshaping adventure!

An IRL mod needs only two shapes so that shouldn't be too hard I guess ;)

I would love an IRL Mod! Please do it!







These guys(ow-racing.com) made these shapes for an IRL Mod for Nascar Racing 2003, by Papyrus. Sadly it was abandoned.

Yeah, but NR2003 wasn't a suitable base really, I think I was told that it doesn't model suspension movement properly, which is fine for a tin top as you can't see the suspension, but it sucks for open wheeled cars.

SO it's been a while. I've already posted some previews before, here is some more. I've scaled the car a bit more, put on some new wheels (Oggo's CART mod wheels), and did some minor mods on the shape.

Very nice keep up the good work. Are you going to release a template of it? That way a bunch of painters can start work on painting a bunch of irl cars from your awesome carshape!

The car looks good so far. As far as I can see from the shots you've posted, the car is a bit high from the ground and maybe a bit low poly. But I'm not that sure of the second, as I can't see it clearly with the car all painted black.
Please post one or two Zmod shot, possibily one with wireframe and one without it!:)
If you need any help or advice, feel free to contact me! :)
