@HRH Thanks... it isnot so simple... just a little bigger would peek out through the hood:)

The engines of the F103 series were "M118" developed by Daimler-Benz (as part of a military project that never came to fruition). I didn't have that engine, so I used parts of various engines from "Forza" ... I put together something that in the end looks enough like it (at least to me).

I moved the rotating part slightly towards the driver's side, because for some reason the animation doesn't work on the passenger's side. Is it a "Z Modeler" issue or something else - I don't know. If anyone might know I would appreciate the knowledge

@Frostelis Thank you. What I’m working on is a two-door version. There is a lot of work and it will take time. Will I have the will for some more versions (Maybe a convertible) after that ... we'll see later

F103 is the internal designation for a series of car models produced by Auto Union in West Germany from 1965 to 1972, derived from the earlier DKW F102 . The DKW marque was dropped and model was launched simply as the "Audi", a brand that had been dormant since before the Second World War...

Never mind, Volvo 142 is published, I am satisfied with how much and how I made it. There are two versions without tuning. I hope everyone finds something for themselves.

All LODs are mapped UV2=livery and UV1= Dirt (vehicle_paint4).
LODs also have a satisfactory number of polygons, and a small number of textures (lower resolutions). The performance should be good.

@GreenAid I almost always make multiple versions. For the Volvo 144, for example, I made an additional 6 versions with different looks. I don't see the point in doing a separate version for each spoiler, bumper or sunstrip ... But there will probably be at least two replace versions with different grills without tuning. By the way, many people want cars with a lot of tuning options ... We don’t all play the same way.

Testing tuning:

@HRH Yes thank you. I will definitely include that. I'm working on it


However, I don't think I can include the "facelifting" from 1973. Apart from the grille, the turn signals and the rear lights are also different ... I don't think I will be able to fit that through the tuning. Anyway, there’s no reason not to include livery from that year.

To complete the 140 series, I still need to make a Volvo 142. This model has some racing history, so I’ll focus on racing tuning . Here are some pics:

The LODs for the "Add-On" or "Replace" version are slightly different. It should be noted that in both versions a lot of polygons are contained in “Extras” that do not appear at the same time.
Add-On version :

Replace version:

Replace version is made for "Ingot"

Some roof and livery tuning:

After I finish my "Volvo 144" it's time for the station wagon 145. All I have to do is "just" change half of the car

Here is the progress:

LODs are done:)

testing...

The model didn’t really have an interior. It took a long time until I created a satisfactory one. This little video shows it:

@GreenAid This is probably not final look of the engine. I might do some more changes, especially about textures... I ll see what looks better or more natural.

Model had no engine. I had to make up something... I knew it was Volvo's B20 engine, I searched the pics like this one:

Volvo Amazon also had similar B20 engine... you can find it in "Forza"

...I adapted it, made some changes and here it is:



...not perfect, but good enough I guess.

The Volvo 140 Series is a line of mid-size cars manufactured and marketed by Volvo from 1966 to 1974 in two- and four-door sedan (models 142 and 144) as well as five door station wagon (model 145) body styles—with numerous intermediate facelifts. More than a million Volvo 140s were built.

I want to make a model 144 from the early 70s because in 1979 my father bought a 7-year-old used Volvo 144 S (His 5th car). He sold it after two years, and bought a new VW Golf1 which he kept for the rest of his life... and yes, that is very young me on that pic... just about 40 years ago

The 3D model I found is from the 60s ( https://www.desirefx.me/volvo-144-sedan-1967-3d-model/ ), in the 70s facelifting brought new grill, so I decided to create such.
I might leave 60s grill as tuning part option.

In addition to the 144 version, I might try to make a 142 or 145 version as well ... maybe. But I work slowly because I have to exercise and walk for health reasons, after three new stents implanted in my coronary arteries
