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)
Summer Update 20260718

Petzval Triplet 940s
It was originally manufactured for standard 16mm film projectors or microfilm readers. Because of its uncoated or single-coated design, it provides a very classic, slightly soft, and swirly bokeh aesthetic
Both photos were shot at 1/250 f2.8, 800 ISO. The one on the right was taken 2 months ago. The one on the left was taken Friday night, a few days after I got my camera back from Nikon Professional Service.
The moral of the story is that firmware updates are the greatest thing in the world.
Also known as wiping the watch to make room, restoring the thing, and then actually doing the update because before wiping I could not free up enough space for the update.
(UPDATE as of September 26th, 2019 : I'm having troubles with Flickr displaying my photos in low quality since today. My photos were uploaded in 1000x667 resolution until now and they were always displayed with the quality I intended them to have. It's not the case anymore, and the only way I have found to solve this problem is to upload larger files : you can now enjoy the new photos I'll upload in 3000x2000 resolution. For the personal use I have of my albums it's not what will be the best, but seeing the quality of my shots dropping this low was a shame!)
