Crank up the way back machine...

...and throwback with that same great Pepsi taste, with real sugar.


I posted this in WIP form a while ago, and realized that I never posted the finished product.

I was going for a classic, simple look, which mimics the Throwback packaging.

Template and contingencies from SRD.

Base, #'s, Logos, et al by me.


Comments welcome.

Awesome job! The only thing that irks me is that the side number looks kinda choppy in a few spots on the outside.

 

[Mike24]

Thanks. The 'choppiness' is from the contour/lighting on the side from the render. I assure you, at 2048 res, the number is crystal clear.

Awww, when I saw the title I was thinkin' a Bullwinkle/Rocky/Sherman/Peabody/Dudley Do-Right car!

But great looking ride anyway.

Great job, Mike! I could actually see this on the track as a Jeff Gordon retro, similar to the Pepsi Challenge throwback car he ran at Talladega a couple of years ago.

This car is a beast! And I'm not just saying that because I love Pepsi and especially the throwback Pepsi, this car is pure goodness.

 

[Mike24]

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the kind sentiments.

I'm gonna throw my $.02 in here...everyone could use a bit of constructive criticism.

First off, it's a nice car. The scheme is well balanced and suits the product.

However, I would recommend two things to tweak on it:
1. Balance the color a bit more. Pepsi Throwback is equal pars white, red, and blue, as illustrated here:

You've got a bit too much red right now.
2. Move the hood logo down a bit. It could help the point #1 by bringing more blue to the hood.

Other than that, it looks good. Solid work Mike
