With the recent HD Remaster Challenge, I figured I’d make a thread for remastered cars.
Everyone has their first car. I figured a thread where people can share their old cars they have later remastered would be quite nice! It doesn’t matter what car it is, as long as it’s old enough to be remastered.
In my opinion, re-doing and remastering cars is two different things. I often re-do my more recent cars. Usually if I am not happy with certain details or with some parts of the engineering. But I remaster cars that I feel like are outdated and don’t match my current skillset.
Let me demonstrate, here we have the 1990s Italian wagon from September 2021.
I had considered remaking it before, on the '92 Z15A/Z16A body set, but couldn’t bring myself to do it until now due to its limitations (excessive width, lack of body styles, etc.). Thankfully, the new version has a more detailed look overall, fully detailed interior and all.
For reference, here are two trims of the original:
Both of them looked fine for their time, but in hindsight, I could’ve made them even more detailed than they were, although the limitations of the Kee era made it quite difficult.
The differences in the S and X models isn’t much, minor tweaks in performance, but it allows for me to show off all the developments that happened. Saying that, there is a few design bits in between which were never released, as they got changed soon after I made the car so it’s more like a concept changing slightly. These are the cars that I released as “done” at the time.
These cars are not a real product of any manufacturer, any likeness or other similarities to real brands is purely coincidence. Actual model may change in final submission.
