Sunbeam Tiger

It is moving along.

Strange hub caps... they look more like posh manhole covers, he he!!

Early style Halibrand.

... It's moving along at great speed! Thanks JD.

Great stuff

Looks like a car for the vertically challenged !!! Wire wheels would look best I recon.

Excellent!

JD, better be on your guard if GeeDee likes your wheels If not, the Tiger will be up on bricks by the morning

That reminds me of an incident way back in 1966. I started working when I was 13, by the time of my sixteenth birthday I had saved enough money to buy a brand new 1966 Chevelle SS396, and a set of American Racing Torque Thrust wheels to go on the US Royal TigerPaw redline tires that came on the car. All was good until one late night snowy December Pittsburgh evening. (Play suspenseful music here)  

 The next morning I awoke to find my "Baby" up on cement blocks in front of our house sans wheels and tires! Well as fate would have, the small town local police force of Ben Avon PA (3 total officers) actually came up with the culprit. It was a guy that would be considered a "Usual Suspect" in such matters, a kid from the next borough who admitted to the dirty deed. Well I got the wheels and tires returned to me and I did'nt press charges since I actually knew the culprit. When later, I asked him why he took them. He responded "they were really cool, sorry". He really was'nt that bad of a guy and grew up to be a lot more considerate of OPP, (Other People's property)  

True Story!!  So the moral of the story is the Halibrands must stay on the car, or the BAPD might be paying yinz guys (If your from the Burgh you know what that means)  a visit!

He might have taken the wheels for the good of the community! The thought of a 16 year old running around in a 396 Chevelle is pretty scary...

Maybe that's what I am doing... but did anyone think about that

Can't think of a better excuse at the moment... so yes, that is correct sir!

VERY COOL!!!!! I've been waiting for the Tiger/Alpine to be in a sim.
So I'm still waiting , but now looking at the light at the end of the tunnel.
& yes GeeDee I walked into that one. So no need the make the comment.
I know the train's over due.

I'm on it, reworking some bits of the Tiger a little, because otherwise you'll end up with some weird shadows in the template. Gotta admit getting back into modding comes with a steeper learning curve than I anticipated. I'll see that I'll shoot over a pic later

As promised, pics. This is, what JD sent me:



Subtle difference, but notable smoother around the corner:



Still some work to do, like that shadow between radiator and headlight or that blank space in front of the fender, as well as getting rid of some irks at the rear. Then I'll be ready to remap this one in a single texture and creating a template. If one cuts that work, one will end up having those shadows in the texture, and that is not a quality that should be released

Good stuff an good luck m8!!!

Good news! I have a lot of improvements in other areas that should make this a neat addition.

This sounds very promising indeed!!

really looking forward to this car!

jd, I just wanna says thanks for this level of concern for a car most of us would gladly take as is. The modders that take this level of care in the mods we enjoy so much are to be commended. Thank you
