Our first trip in the Superb and it honoured its name. It was wonderful cruising all those tiny would-be roads and snaky curves with the automatic.
Unfortunately we didn't get any "alone" shots with Larry, so I had to crop into one. I'll have to search my archives to see if I have a better shot; but this works for now.
Admiral Lord Nelson, "looking heroic." The man had no shortage of medals, that's for sure.
A watercolor painted as part of a commission offer in January 2012. The original is just 2.5"x3.5"!
His foster Mom, Valorie, sent me this adorable picture of tiny Honda today. She is fostering and bottle feeding him.

Visiting family in Toronto Ontario - their beach house in the township of Tiny has this spectacular view of Georgian Bay. I figured after an 11 hour drive from Rhode Island... I'd spend evening time with the family and then the late hours with the moon. I actually wore my shell gore-tex jacket b/c the temperature "dipped" to low 60s and a nice steady 10mph breeze off the Bay. First time out of country night shoot and to think I had to travel this far to get some clouds on a night sky!!!
I've been working again on the dollhouse and doing all the touch ups and tiny details of painting (outside only) and I can hardly wait for this to be done - maybe tomorrow then we can shingle the roof - I really want to have this completed on the outside this year and then next year work on inside cause there is just to much work to complete inside before Christmas decorating so I'm working till my hands give out!!!
Tiny monotypes made with acrylic paint on watercolour paper. The originals are only about 30-50mm on a side, so these scans are probably bigger than the original
So I have absolutely finished my last assignment for my film class! Now just to work on my portfolio for my final. I think that will be fun... I say think because I am so tired right now I feel close to quitting.
Only not really because as I'm sitting here typing I'm figuring out a way to bring my camera to rehearsal to take some pics. Maybe it's just the film photography... yup that's it.
Anyway, now that I'm sure I wrote a paragraph that made no sense what-so-ever, happy Wednesday everyone.
Paula ( www.flickr.com/photos/paulabermudez/ ) and I went to Tiny's in the Hawthorne District here in Portland, and this guy was sitting there, oblivious to the fact we were taking his photo. We commented on the fact that it's really awkward when someone you're taking a picture of suddenly looks up and sees you. Just as I'm pretty sure it's pretty awkward to look up at see some feral-looking teen holding a big camera with the lens aimed over at ya like it's a sniper rifle.
Yay for sneaky photographers!

What's new on the Excel Blender model front then? Well, I've updated... the front. Yes, I have quite literally made updates on the Excel front.
Working from the top down, if you look (very) closely you can see the glass part for the destination blind area is marked out; it is in fact inset from the 'metal' part by a very tiny amount because I don't think the glass and metal would be exactly flush in real life. Above are the two upper marker lights which have also been added in 3 dimensions! The whole destination blind box area is ever so slightly over-scaled and comes a few inches further down the windscreen than it does in real life, but like I've said before this is not going to be millimetre perfect because I'm not that skilled at Blender, but so long as it looks like an Excel and doesn't have any big problems then I'm pleased.
Moving down to the windscreen itself, I've added the rubber gasket that runs around its edge so now you can see its exact position, as up until now I had its shape cut with the knife tool but now I've added and extruded the rubber part it's visible in the 3d render.
For now the dash panel and headlights have remained as they were before, but the angle between the flat dash panel/lights part and the front bumper has been tweaked, so that it slopes more and the upper edge of the bumper has a smoother join to its front edge.
The final addition for now is the extra protruding lip stuck on the front of the bumper, which features on some Excels and not others. I previously said this was going to be separate object so that when the time comes I can make it a setvar in OMSI (assuming that's how it works), and that's exactly what I've done, so it's not part of the same model as the main body.
In fact neither is the registration plate area for that matter - I made it its own box so it stuck out lower down and then cut the bumper around its top edge with one of the modifiers (boolean difference I think..?)
The reg plate panel I can group in with the main body when I need to but the bumper lip should be kept as a different object. At least that's how I think it should work anyway!
So, what next? I'm actually running out of things to do on the body that require the mirroring on both sides, so I'm thinking of applying the modifier to allow me to edit each side separately and add things like the door aperture, emergency exit, fuel filler and engine grille. Of course I might run into other difficulties before I can do that since I'm sort of learning by doing, plus I think I might have made a mistake with the area I've left for the side windows, so it's all busy and fun in the world of Optare Excel modelling.
(Also, work on this is going wayyyy better than how work on the Omnidekka ever went)
