Gotta say Ben, that's absolutely spectacular. Wish I could do something like that! I can rebuild a chainsaw from its individual components and know where all the bolts go, but what you've done there is an absolute talent. Nice one!
Haha, no chainsaw experience here, but I'm pretty handy at stripping and rebuilding laptops and desktops though!Cheers for your comment

Excellent write up pal! I did Automotive Design at Sunderland 3 years ago. Really enjoyed the write up! Good luck with the job hunting! If only MG had made something that looked like that....
Cheers Guys. Really appreciate the nice comments It seems looking back through the posts I could have engaged a bit better, apologies.
I don't know how to multiquote properly on here so :-
@Slomax
I have basic knowledge of Alias. Although the industry is going further in that direction I still prefer the hands on approach. I found it very frustrating, sometimes asking it to create what I felt was a basic surface, yet it would disagree and produce some of the most horrific shapes I doubt would be possible to recreate. I managed a very basic Audi TT rendered in showcase during my second year. I wasn't required to do it for the MG as I done the clay as "3d representation". Since switching to Mac from Windows I also don't have the software anymore, so I'm a little rusty.
Glassing the clay was relatively easy, just the same as glassing anything else. I was hesitant as it was my first time, but as long as you take your time there should be no problem.
Online folio wise most of my stuff which I still have is on my facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/BenRichardsDesign), then I also have duplicates on Coroflot (http://www.coroflot.com/benrichards1989) and Behance (http://www.behance.net/BenRichards1)
A lot of my stuff is still at the university as I didn't get it back after submission.
@bigmacmoomin
Yes agree, looking back at it since completion, I do sometimes regret not putting a spoiler on it.
@les3002
Just practice, lots of practice. I'm still useless at 3/4 views now!

I did try a black A-pillar on early sketches, but in order to make it look right it forces alteration to the roof, and I didn't like what it looked like. It was something I implemented on the convertible though as it works well with the split between the A pillar and the canvas roof. Its also reminiscent of the RV8s and Early MGFs.
Cheers,
Ben

This was also put up today, and there is also hopefully going to be a 3 Page feature done by MG Car Club in the March issue of their magazine.

Welcome to PH and that was a fantastic first post. I really enjoyed reading it and seeing the progression of your design.
If you want it moved to general gassing then you can possibly post in the website feedback session to request it or send a PM to Garlick. Not sure what the best option is so hopefully someone else will also be able to advise.

Thanks Guys,
I did report my OP and enquire to get it moved, as did another PH'er. Seems it's staying firmly here!
Anyway, the project has a 3 Page feature in MG Car Club's Magazine this month. Below is a link to it on their Facebook Page...

Whats the head room for the driver?
Cheers
I can't give you an exact measurement as all my core work is still in possession of the uni (if they haven't binned it). I only have the model and graphic work on my PC.Cheers
What I can tell you is that when I was working on the vehicle packaging I designed it to accept a 98th percentile male in both the front and rear. This means that a driver of around 6 foot 3 inches can sit in comfort, and the vehicle will also accommodate another person at that height in the rear at the same time.
Hope this helps.
