pontiac-color

This project was a little springboard from my usual office work. I needed to rest after all Archinteriors and archmodels collections that i done in last year. The main idea of this work with old car abandoned in some wild area has got more then 2 years now and was invented by one of my team friends. He started to model a car and some environment, but decided to leave the project. Recently, he asked me to take a loot at it – this was nice piece of work and i decided to finisch it.
