[WIP] F1 1986

ok, let me see your retro helmet

 

A traditional Arai or Bell mid-late 1980's helmet (or others) could be made as a community resource not just for this mod but for others who have pre-1990's stuff in the works, so it would be a nice contribution.

 

Okiee dokiee. I'll try that then. There were many helmets pre-1995: Shoei, Arai, AGV, GPA, Bieffe.
I'll see what I can do !

 

Haven't started yet lol, give me a bit of time
First I have to find the right blueprints (which is not going to be an easy task... not as easy as finding car blueprints).
And if I take Piquet's reference, he had about 5 different helmet models in 86 alone...

 

...Well, hardest part right now is, strangely, the visor of the helmets. I've yet to figure this out.
End of afternoon I should have the base AGV helmet Piquet and de Cesaris used to wear.. Keep fingers crossed

 

Well, this is my first try... I can only get better..

 

Ummm however, how is the mod itself coming? I mean the cars ?
ChiefWiggum any news ?

 

looks nice, progress is a little slow now, still working on the williams

 

maybe someone have a good pic from a FW11 cockpit?

 

i think is FW11B but it must be similar

 

Love that Williams ! See you've put the turbo air intakes and modified the rollbar, looks smacking !! Good job mate !!
validated choice for the cockpit! I'd thought they'd have the W emblem on the wheel:

I think I'm going to open a new thread (if that's possible) for the modelling of the helmets.
I don't want to pollute too much on this thread which is dedicated to F1 1986

 

hi chief
one question

here dylbie search help (driver model/steering wheel animations) for his lotus cortina mod
https://forum.studio-397.com/index.php?threads/historx-mod.59836/#post-942262
is it possible to use your ferrari 1967 driver model for lotus cortina?
or can you help him?

 

sure, no problem, he can use the driver from the Ferrari

 

working on the cockpit now.....

 

Looks great.

 

Great! Do you think you will be able to make the full grid? Or would it just depend on what images you have?

 

I think the important thing will be to keep the motivation high
