Description
9 years ago I had the chance to look at many vintage and rare cars which had stopped during their rally through the Pyrenees : prewar Aston Martin, MG, Delahaye, Alfa-Romeo, Bentley, Jaguar etc. and a post war superb Mercedes 300 SL Gull Wing.
I have made a lot of shots of a Delage 1936. Though the lack of blueprints on the web but with all the shots I had done, it has been easy to have a very good 3D model. As a wink, the radiator emblem, the fog lights and the headlights are coming from my photos
This model is a DELAGE type D6 70 from 1936, sport, two-seater, 6 cylinders, 3 litres, mechanical box.
The Delage D6 is a six-cylinder luxury car produced by the manufacturer between 1930 and 1940 and again, after the war, between 1946 and 1953. (The final cars were still receiving their bodies from specialist coach builders and being listed for sale during 1954.) For much of this time it was the company’s principal or, from 1946, only model.
The Delage D6 was a popular model, and it's longer wheelbase sister, the inline eight-cylinder D8 model, was more so. But both were expensive, and demand was too low to sustain the company.
The 3045 cc engine of the original D6 placed it in the 17CV car tax band which, for many contemporaries, would also have defined its position in the market hierarchy. During its long production run the car underwent a succession of changes, many of which involved enlargement or modification of the six-cylinder engine. During the 1930s there were, for some of the time, two or three different engines sizes offered. Principal changes and differences in engine sizes were marked by changes and differences as to the suffix at the end of the car’s name, generally reflecting differences in fiscal or actual horsepower. For some purposes it can be helpful to think of the D6 as a succession of closely related individual models, but the basic architecture of the chassis and engine did not differ radically between the different versions.
3D model soon available on RR for Poser and Daz.

Epatant, tout simplement épatant, cher Alain :) J'adore comment ton reportage restitue le processus de ton projet ; ce qui met d'autant plus en valeur ta maîtrise dans la restitution du modèle.

Fichtre ! Ca c'est de la voiture ! Excellent travail de modélisation ! Merci aussi pour ton commentaire sur ma dernière image. Je pense que l'Italie est effectivement un must pour tous les amoureux de l'art
