1975/76 Plymouth Fury rework .. started!

[FranknFurter]

thx Dark One, me too ..

The first one will be - since I promised that to my friend Max the ..



'75 Fury:



Nice decent scheme btw .. can't wait to see this on Sergi's Dolphin Valley



a frontal view of the two-door variant with Twinsonic lightbar but giving a good impression of the paint scheme:



the 'Double Dietz' lightbar is already prepared and ready for service:

Frank, you might want to do the Dodge Monaco too as it's the same car and also used as police on TV.

[FranknFurter]

.. all in good time Zpectre, but I'm pretty shure you mean the Coronet?





or do you mean the later '77/78 Monaco? Since we already have that:







but they all could use a rework now that I did better bumpers, lights and stuff .. pheeew

Another question is what might be your most favoured Sheriff Rosco car since ..

His patrol car (in the first season a 1974 Dodge Monaco or a 1970 Dodge Polara (First 2 episodes), 1974-5 AMC Matador and 1976 Plymouth Fury. In later seasons a 1977 or 1978 Dodge Monaco or Plymouth Fury) which also serves as his daily driver except for a few episodes where he has other cars, such as a 1977 Pontiac Lemans in the 3rd season episode "To Catch a Duke" which he apparently saved his nickels and dimes for, as he claims. This car can routinely be seen parked outside the Police station in stock footage exterior shots for the rest of the series ..

[Dark One]

Oh, I remember that one from the old thread. Really nice paint scheme. Simple, yet cool.

[Zpectre]

Yeah Frank it was the 1977, haha.

[Paul Spain]

Frank have you thought of the Satelite? It's the body ALL those cars are using, They just moded it to create Furys and Monacos.

[FranknFurter]

Frank, can you show wires on different angle, more like from centerline instead of side of the car, and grill hidden? I think that there should be no problem with doing correct polies for that part. However, it seems like some original polies around the area will need some work, too. It's always about additional work here and there, eh? 

Absolutely correct Rider66, that's what the Calgary cruiser mapping painfully made clear to me, the bonnet needed some more rework .. .. I scaled the rear bonnet verts in width and also aligned the frontal V-shaped edges to the headlights' centre lines.

The Racer '75 Fury is already updated with the new bonnet, too btw ..

@Paul: Do you have any info about how the historical CPS uniforms looked like? And no, haven't thought of the Satellite yet but shure is a nice one, too. The grille reminds me of the GTX btw, had that in HP2 ..

[FranknFurter]

.. one last detail added to the Racer Fury, a Plymouth hood emblem like it can be seen on pics ..



Not all contemporary Furys had that let alone Fleet cars but a nice detail of yet another 74 polies



.. some more pics of the Calgary Fury, driver has a uniform now ..

Nice work again.I like the idea of that emblem.

There are dashviews in nfs4 (mainly Mercedes Benz) were you can also see the emblem.I especially enjoy driving those cars in nfs4.Offcourse you need to see the hood in dashview, so it's mainly for older cars like your Pontiac.

I used to add a hood to the MCO dashes, and used them for some cars I made with Reight (f.e the Mercedes 220 S)

[Rider66]

Hey Frank, I see you're doing some great work - and, with all respect to your previous works, great improvements in difficulty level too! Hope to see it finished, and it will be great to see some of your own scratch-mades too some day. Keep 'em coming! 

[Dark One]

I have to admit the boxy rear window that Baardk for some reason left us with still pokes in the eye, but you've done really nice work of the car! Can't wait to chase some speeders through the Canadian countryside.

[FranknFurter]

thx @all sry. got lost in details again (as usual ) but I couldn't resist giving the driver nice 'old style' sunglasses and mapping the steering wheel's middle strut to a higher trim level with 'wooden veneer' imitation like the dashboard has it ..

I just uploaded the Fury Racer now, the Calgary City Police cruiser is to follow 'on the foot'
