Cubsta Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) Hi, I was just wondering if any moddelers were up to the challenge of making a mk5 escort for the game. I can get pictures of the stripped out estate version as i am going to race one soon. I can also get pictures of the hatchback version the next time i strip one out. I don't mean itto be rude if you don't want to have a go then you don't have to i just thought it would make a great car for the under 2litres on heat. Cheers Cubsta#165 Edited December 3, 2007 by Cubsta
mcrew Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 Im sure that someone was making a mk4 ages ago now. Cant remember who, my memory aint as good as it used to be
Cubsta Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Posted December 3, 2007 kool but i'd rather like to see a mk5 in action online as i normally race them also i could probably get some pics of a mk2 mondeo hatchback if anybody is intrested in making 1 of those? Just a thought Cheers
Weasel Jnr Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 Ryano.. I think it was Rodder or Boogie that was making the mk4 escort.. Correct me if i am wrong
Nick M48 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 I won't be making one for heat but I'm always greatful for pics for future modelling projects.
Cubsta Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) Top banana nick i will get some pictures for you the next time i get my escort out lol i would have really liked to see it in heat though but oh well can't pester people when they have other things better to do Cubsta#165 Edited December 3, 2007 by Cubsta
Weasel Jnr Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 Cubsta..Why don't you have a crack at it yourself..Get some hints and tips on how to model and stuff then hav a go.. Just My Opinion
zarky191 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 nicks site has a tutorial on car making Nicks web
Cubsta Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Posted December 3, 2007 yeah cheers lads i will have a go after christmas because ill be racing my car on the 30th so i can start getting pics of it and if people are willing to help it would be appriciated alot Cheers Cubsta#165
calum Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 Mk1 is the lovely one, the 2 has been done/not done by boogie, i believe rodder started a 3, the 4 and 5 are best left alone lol
mcrew Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 The MK3 & 4 Escorts are so similar ( front wings around the bumpers/bonnet/scuttle panel/front panel and rear light cut outs are all that realy looks different ), so its hardly worth anyone bothering with two of them ( as they look so similar), plus they are so cack anyway. The MK1, now thats a different matter..........
calum Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 No sane human would race a mk1 escort they are making so much money now
mcrew Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 No sane human would race a mk1 escort they are making so much money now I know, Ive got one stashed away under lock and key.
dannyboy_530 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 the best thing to do with estrys is weigh them in and buy a mondeo!!! iisnt that right young spike
stig817 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) u cant way in a escort specially not a mk1 Edited December 3, 2007 by stig817
jamesy Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 Mk1 is the lovely one, the 2 has been done/not done by boogie, i believe rodder started a 3, the 4 and 5 are best left alone lol eh nothing wrong with mk5 i did 5 meetings in mine kept up with primers,cavs and bluebirds won a heat and had a gd few 2nds and top 8 finishes finished 12 races on the trot before i attempted a naughty hit and got stuffed in the wall lmao serves me right
calum Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 don't like em lol i have always wanted one crewie just the price is getting higher and higher! Dannyboy obviously does'nt understand the value of the ones & 2's. Ford killed escort when they put the diff the wrong end and thought it was clever idiots what do they know
Ryano Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Ryano.. I think it was Rodder or Boogie that was making the mk4 escort.. Correct me if i am wrong , that werent me
hotrod331 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 the mk3/4 was finshed as far as i can remember as was the mk2 but i dont think they ever got a proper release will see what i can dig up!
xj40 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 don't like em lol i have always wanted one crewie just the price is getting higher and higher! Dannyboy obviously does'nt understand the value of the ones & 2's. Ford killed escort when they put the diff the wrong end and thought it was clever idiots what do they know Quite like RWD Escorts myself, especially the likes of the Mk2 RS2000 and Mk1 Mex Mk3 & onwards they went downhill, some might be ok for Bangers but I wouldn't have one as a road car.
swindy Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 I could make a mk5 escort for the game but imo not a great banger car ,to weak at front and ppl that race free leagues are abit fussy when it comes to fwd (they dont like them ) had loads of problems with the mondeo and mk3 cav i made as they where to fast for the game ,i mean old mk3 tinas fastest 2ltr ever made in some ppls eyes make some old rwd and it will be a hit with ppl Thanks Swindy
Cubsta Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) i aint fussy mate i just want it in game i will get you pics if you want to? i love mi fwd cars n ill even help with it of whatever i can plus we could always armour it at the front just give dan steele a ring haha =D would be greatlt apprieciated mate. Cheers Cubsta Edited December 4, 2007 by Cubsta
hazy Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) i aint fussy mate i just want it in game TBH i think you ment to say ..... you would really apreciate all the effort someone would be willing to put in too satisfy YOUR needs We all have cars we'd like to see modelled but unfortunatley we dont have the skills and abilities of nick/reg swindy/dazza/rodder/boogie etc(sorry if i've missed anyone!) just sit tight and keep your fingers crossed the car you want will come along - it's good to offer picstures etc but as swindy says pointless making a car for you only - then in a few weeks you decide the physics are "bleeep!!!", it's not competitive and you race an allready existing model or worst still you cry please make me a new car cos i love it................. Edited December 4, 2007 by hazy
Cubsta Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Posted December 4, 2007 i meant to say that i would appriciate all the effort and time people are willing to put in but im sure people wil use this model and especially people from this end will definately use them i would greatly apprieciate it
FbF 656 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 ALL escorts are crap. mk1/2 are so common, they all look the same, same wheels, paint etc etc. mk3 onwards are all fwd.. need i say anymore? you wanna proper car get a mk3/4/5 tina
Cubsta Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) Many people think that because they are FWDthey are crap, in my opinion because ive actually raced them they are pretty strong if built propley and can be rapid with a zetec engine dropped in.
