ORION - more of a striptease than a chop

[2b2]

Based on web-speculation & a misleading magazine faux-pic...

heavily camo'ed spypix...
< click for more CarAdvice pix
my new xray glasses...

and a judicious amount of bourbon (cue exotic dancer music from 'Gypsy')

Orion?

That is looking good, I like how it hunkers down towards the front,

It seems like Ford is doing something with the Rear windscreen design here.. there are two bulging spots on top of the red car

[B.R.]

They almost look like the side of the MKS drawing.

Thanx NDW. I kinda think(hope) the whole roofrail of the CarAdvice spy pic is padding something sleek underneath.

Spot on, B.R. The original Wheels magazine article used a doctored MKS sketch as a tease
but
recent discussion at CarSpyShots (sark021) makes it sound like the earlier specualtion of the Falcon having some MKS resemblance wasn't as wrong as later thought.
I basically used my idea/delusion for the roof, tried to emphasize the lower side sculpting of the MKS sketch AND the Reflex! (reason for the mid-side crease),
and threw in some Iosis/Bondeo (I think there's camo covering a 'strake' on the doors),
not sure about the front wheel arches so stopped there.
If the Falcon shows up as international-style influenced, that'd be best imho and in keeping with Mr. M's 'OneFord' philosophy.

Is Ford doing a RWD thing down under with Lincoln as the North American Partner?
I wonder what the Aussie mates think

[joeford]

Hey all, this is my go at the new falcon... what do you think?

(this isn't a chop...only the wheels and colour are copied on the photoshop one)



and if that doesnt work

Hey JoeFord, Welcome aboard!

I like your renderings (as you know). Looks a couple levels more sporty than mine.

Have you tried doing any perspectives yet?


edit: btw all 3 links work for me.

[joeford]

hey thanks again for the support

i haven't really done much perspective drawings really ever(besides chops) .... but i am trying. I'm so used to drawing in paint where you have to almost incorporate the dodge pixels into the drawings... so now im taking on photoshop, then maybe a 3D Cad one.
I'm thinking of doing a design course after my BA.... but my pics are still very amateur atm.

[2b2]

Well, I don't think the lines of your design are amateurish at all - hope you post more (if you check the other threads, you'll see they don't even hafta be Fomoco)
I had one semester of pre-historic CAD as an elective - it was lots of FUN.

Also good to have you here since Australia is gonna be very important in Ford's future plans & you can clue us in on that perspective! (bring your friends )

Wanted to do a new chop based on the latest testing pix
or my current favorite:


but this seems sooo close imho, it wasn't necessary to change much:

hint, if you can't tell the base car;
