Wolseley Landcrab

Recommended Posts

Like the Sovereign one, I'm not sure if this will be of use to anybody, but I thought I might aswell post it up. I've changed the front grille etc on the Austin 'Landcrab' template to make it into it's Wolseley equivalent. I think it's reasonably accurate, but I couldn't find a pic of the back end, so I just replaced the Austin 3 litre badge with a Wolseley one, should still be usable though.

I may be wrong, and no doubt I will be corrected if I am, BUT the Wolesely was 1800 and 2200 (not 3ltr) and, erm, it was FWD :shrug:

 

I don't know much about them, but I think you're right, though I can't really do anything about it. The only thing I could do would be to edit the physics file, if the original modeller agrees. Does anyone know who made it?

Hmmm there was never any made so its a fantasy car...crab 1800 in wolsely guise ok but not austin 3 litres...though BWC may have made a prototype...I have not seen any pictures of one. With your max experience Erik another attempt at modelling may be worthwhile..but do try and do a real production car...not Postman Pats van or Noddy's runabout. :unsure:

lol reg. I was thinking about another attempt at modelling earlier today, and I might give it a go. As for the template I'll have to rename it "Wolseley Landcrab with Austin 3 litre running gear" then?

I know absolutely naff all about modeling etc, but would it be possible to play around with the physics of the 3 ltr Austin model and change it to FWD?

Then rename the FWD.car conversion as a wolzly and its another model for the pre 68/2ltr class. :shrug:

That's kinda what I meant by editing the physics file. It would be possible to give it less power, not sure about the FWD bit though (I don't really know enough about it).

 

I decided to have another go at modelling, as I was pretty bored. It's kinda difficult to make out as the render is cack, but I thought I'd post it anyway. I attempted a Sunny coupe from the pics someone posted up a little while back, as you can see it still needs quite a bit done, but I intend to continue with it.

just use the scale tool to make it a bit wider :thumbs_up:

Sorry about posting the same thing 3 times, the forum was kinda playing up last night.

 

Thanks for the advice pazza :thumbup:

 

The last few times I've attempted this, the cars have ended up looking too wide, now its too narrow lol.

Yes Crewie, the physics could be edited to create a slower FWD version :thumbup:

That would make a great addition to the unders/fwd class/pre 68's should anyone ever agree to the physics on their Austin model being adjusted......hint hint. ;):rofl:

you are correct boss. i had an 1800 one. they made them in 1800 and 2200, both fwd and the later one was known as the wolsley 6 i believe. engine was similar to a mini with gearbox also being the sump. mine was auto having a gearstick on the dash board lol. its now in 280 simon goodales yard in exchange for a p5. cheers, damo.
