Hi all,

I started this skin some time ago but didn't finish it. Today I came across it again in my skins folder and decided to start on it again. I think it's almost done (I want to keep it a bit clean with decals and stuff). But I was wondering what you all think of it so far

Any thoughts?

Thats looking quite nice.

For starters I would move the Castrol decal so it's not all stretched round the different widths of side skirt. Move it up and back just infront of the little intake by the rear wheel.

And the kanard, make it one colour. The main line going over it stretches like buggery.

Other than that, it's looking impressive as usual. Keep it up.
Hmm.. good points.. I'll try'm out Thanks!

This is how it's so far:

This is how it's so far:

I would move the battery on the hood too. Right now it's a bit on the vents which doesn't look right. Nice base though, looking forward for this one.

Hmm.. I'll try But i'm not sure if I should keep the stuff on the hood at all, the bunny and battery (to me) don't feel right in a way.. But donno what else to do with it, maybe a "-" sign on the hood like the "+" sign on the roof? (but those are already on the nose and rear too)
The Loctite decal on the windscreen visor has too much 'bend' on it. Straighten it out a little bit and it will look better.

The bunny is like Marmite, you either love it or hate it. I'm in two minds about it.

Lose the Dodge badge.

And is there any chance of seeing a proper side shot. I'm not too sure about the main line going up and onto the rear window pillar, it doesn't look quite right from that angle.

Wow the car actually looks just like a battery from the side. I cant wait to see this one in conedodgers

That was my aim
Well it was just the angle, looks fine.

As for it looking just like a Duracell battery, wouldn't it just have a straight line instead of a big curve? Not saying it doesn't look good, 'cause it damn well does look good.

It would make a funky little design for UF1, anything goes on that car.

Yeah.. I tried, but I thought a straight line didn't look good (too plain/simple). Maybe I'll try it on the UF1
My progress.. (almost final result):

Looks pretty much done. The big minus sign looks good on the bonnet.

Whats on the rear?

Nothing special on the rear:

How about swapping the Duracell logo for the +/- signs?

Might look alright, and it will fix the big chunk of the Duracell logo thats been cut off from the diffuser slot.

Well I've been thinking and tying some stuff but it all didn't work out as I wanted, so I think it's best to leave it the way it is and go public

Thanks all for the help and advise!
