Work In progress, 1999 cars

Let start with the latest one I have been working on, the Prost AP02 car from the 1999 season.
There are lots of cars from that season that I would guess I would choose to make before this one, but here you go. It is not pretty, I have now been staring at it for some time and I can't longer say it is ugly either.  It is an intriguing little car that's what it is, a very unique car, and very challenging to recreate accurately.
The car is still in the early modeling stage, I did manage to find some useful images of the cockpit dashboard, and other similar details that will help in finishing this car.


 

Next in line is the beautiful Williams Fw21 car also from the 1999 season. I did modeling on this one simultaneously with Mp4-14. This is actually the car that got me into making 1999 cars. After watching a Youtube clip of 1999 Nurburgring race. Williams stood out from the field in how short the cars seemed. I never liked its livery before but that pointy nose, high diffuser, and sheer aggressive look of the cars made me want to recreate it.
The car is almost completely UV mapped. Same as for the Prost AP02 I did eventually find few images of the cockpit interior, which is completely reworked and hopefully much more accurate than the one before.
For these cars, I decided not to create engine or any parts hidden undercover but instead add more details on visible parts. My hope is that in that way keep poly count relatively low but still have a high detailed final product.

2002 Jordan EJ21 preview

I think this was the first one of the 2002 cars to be finished and released. Textures are made by great Tobi Kederer aka. kedy89 while I did modeling. The car is around 30 000 polys, not much for today's standards. But looking at renders I think it doesn't lack in quality compared to some high-end models.
Except for the cockpit interior, that is the area I would choose to improve, but not much else.
