I know that the lasy WIP I posted here was never heard from again, but I hope this one will get finished somehow.
All comments are ok, even "it's crap!". :) |

I wouldn't fit inside, that's for sure.

But... it's not done! It can't be perfect already. |

It's looking pretty good already - what else are youthinking of doing to it? I'd be interested in seeing it from a different angle, as I can't see where there's room to put your feet at the moment!
You could put some tread on the tires, add a harness perhaps or dirty it up a bit?
Very nice job. |

Great buggy Accu. I'm guessing that's a VRay render. |

This looks great. I couldn't fit in it either but I wish I could. Really nice render. |

I'm thinking of adding brakes (calipers, lines, pedal), seatbelt, mirrors, maybe lights. I don't know if I should add an electric engine with solar panels or a gas engine with a big propeller in the back. Any other ideas? Maybe I'll just leave it withouth an engine - downhill races.
hemulin, it's all tS6.6 with a pinch of post processing.
I'll render from another angle and post it tomorrow. |

Cool design.
Don't know why, but it reminds me of some old vehicle (or machine) from the late 19th century. :p |

I was thinking that, i think it's the wheels. Really cool model though |

This is way cool Accu! Nice work and great attention to detail!
Maybe you and Hemulin should race your two rigs together!
I'm thinking turbines myself... ;)

This new angle doesn't really show how much space there is for the feet. Sorry.
I added calipers and chaged the brake discs for the front wheels.
If you want to see a big version without the post processing, here it is (http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/4850/0817mbigxf4.jpg). It's kind of dark. |

I like it better without the post-processing, it's too bright. Maybe your monitor display is too dark.
Anyway, it's looking great, the technical detail is really nice, are you going to make it human-powered, or do you have some kind of engine in mind? |

I disagree, I think the bright glow makes it look better. |

Well, I don't like to look at pictures with my sunglasses on, so there. :D |

Two more images: brake pedal (http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/4720/0824brakewi7.jpg) with piston thingie (yes, my render sucks and you can't see much of it) and brake discs and calipers for all the wheels in the full render (http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/6172/0829mzg9.jpg). |

Even though my contraption is perfect, I felt I had to change the back suspension (it was badly designed and wouldn't have worked in the real world).
Here's a gray and boring render of something complicated: |

looks cool.
But is there a reason why you made it so skinny? Looks like it would be unstable. I would guess, with so much suspension, that it could go off road. But I would be afraid of tipping! |

I think it's a very nice design; wouldn't survive a wreck though....
