This is what a Beamng car would look like if it was converted in real life but papercrafted

Ladies and Gentlemen let me present you (not my original creation) the Ibishu Dove . Its a kei car that succeeded the awful but useful pigeon . Fun fact but the Dove is inspired from the pigeon but the only thing they kept from the pigeon is the car especially the both of the front door sections and a little bit of the front. Cause the front of the pigeon is getting narrow the further you move to the front , the front of this car has been normalized by putting the front end at the same width of the rest of the body . The Dove comes with a four wheel drive and two wheel drive configurations. What we got here is a four wheel drive configuration. And with pickup and wagon (seen here) are the options for this . The interior has been remade , a newer steering wheel , some new wheels and reworked suspension as well as new paint pallet for making your car more flashy. The car was supposed to be more thinner cause of the rear window but that’s a long story. Problem is most of my cars are probably twice as wide as the Dove. I took my Ascona Voyage and compared the width and it was a half of the width of my voyage . The thing is when I do my cars , I always homologue my cars to American cars , which is a bad thing cause I want to make the as the same width as them and it’s not realistic. This car (despite being fictional) , I’ve tried to make him realistic for it’s original counterpart. From now I will make my cars more realistic, to the width , to the long and to the height. That’ll teach me a lesson because I had to remake all of my cars to be homologue at this Dove. (In other words this Dove will now be my model for all of my cars. But i like the new chassis system I did ,

Cause it ads realism to the car and it’s more precise in term of height so like this you can make the seats either high or low because you know where the limits are. The old chassis system was two cardboard that imitates the bottom cab and it was super imprecise. You could not recognize if the car was supposed to be front wheel drive or rear wheel drive so I avoided showing the underside of it. The bottom of the new chassis system is firstly the same material I use for making the cars (grained drawing paper) and a cardboard piece that imitates a frame plus thats solidify the underside of the vehicle. I can also decorate the underside of the vehicle by making them dirty , clean , beater or rusty . I can decorate at my own advantage. I would like to point out that the original idea of the car is not from me , you should give credit the guy that came with the idea mike94 for making a (almost but the mod is old) dev quality mod that you can download on the beamng.com website.

A new car has been added in your garage, come have a look…

🧔🏻John object: Not good but not bad.

Sorry it’s not the car I teased you but it’s not that bad is it? It’s an Ibishu Dove wagon GTz 4wd with 1.6 lt 4 cylinder engine for your car to go vroom vroom. It’s actually the newest engine Ibishu put in their Doves like this one. I’m happy they put this engine instead of the previous one. The 3 cylinder engine from the pigeons wasn’t worse but this car needed a little upgrade and you can thanks Ibishu for this. We found this Dove in Sweden for a bunch of bread, as you can see on the license plate. The car is definitely not in great shape on some angles there is rust especially on the rear bottom where there is the fuel tank. The exhaust pipe is full of holes and 100% the catalytic is broken or missing . But what’s good about this car is that the 4wd is still functional (WHAT A MIRACLE) the diff lockers are intact but I recommend to not mess to much with this unless you really have to. Oh yes, I think the old owner forgot her baby seat on the back bench seat unless she offer as a gift for us . I will recontact her for her baby seat cause she have a beautiful baby girl. Also don’t mind the commercial 80’s style cause I grew in that era and it’s nostalgic for me seeing those cars today, part of the reason why I own myself a 3rd gen Firebird . Okay i think I said everything you need to know and have fun with this toy (but not to much cause you know…).

I decided to bring my papercraft at school. They look good. (Part 2 : the same day)

The same day , morning (Wednesday) in the same classroom from the previous post. it was a little rainy but a lot windy but I day go at the end of the morning it was bright blue with little clouds. The building next our classroom is elementary school .

[grandfracturalexact1970]

I decided to bring my papercraft cars at school . They look good .

Every end of school season or just before the holidays , when some teachers decide to let us doing what we want , I take occasionally my papercraft cars to my school so like this I can not only enjoy at my home but I can also enjoy at my school where I go everyday . And it makes me feel like I have a little bit of freedom , today’s kid will bring a ps4 and play fifa22 like what happened today on Thursday (cause I’m currently writing this the next day) but I stay simplistic and bring some paper to draw on and rarely my phone (for listening only music cause I don’t got a portable connection).

I usually do this to collect reactions . For exemple my arts teacher (yep the same from Contemplating Sunrise) when he saw the two cars he was really impressed and repeatedly told me why don’t I go to the Beaux-Arts school , which is a really serious level of school , this is where most of the local animations artists are from . And he told me that if I had to present myself at this school , I can actually bring some of my cars and I definitely pass the registration . He’s said “you like old school cars then” which I of course responded yes and he told me “do you want to own one later” which I expectedly responded yes too. And I brought them onto his desk and he took a photo , and he said that they are just beautiful and asked me from what material they are made and told him grained drawing paper.

I was supposed to bring some American cars in the lot but it would take a second box to carrying it . And I already use a box for the european cars and two boxes in one half full bag was to much for me and plus it was starting raining so I gave up with the American cars for that day and I will do another round the next week with fully U.S cars.

My friends reactions the first time they saw the cars (but they saw first the box in what I carried them , it was a freaking medicine box) and one of them told “what you’re gonna do with medicine?

Me*pulls the cars out of their box*

Him : ah ,ok… *visibly look shocked*”

And he told me “the way that you actually did the interior is impressive”.

And the French teacher enjoyed seeing those cars he said it’s like one those fast and the fast and the furious movies . And by the way this his classroom that you see on the photos , that doesn’t include the first photo who was took in the art class. And this his second time seeing those two specific cars and he started to guess which brand those cars are from . He first took the green one and he said “Chevrolet” and I tell him no it’s a AMC . And then he took the white one and i tell him it is a bit easier , he took a little while , rotating the car around , and he asked me what car was it , i tell him it was an Opel . And the same for my friend he was impressed by the interior detail . That’s it for today .

Keep remember that I have an another account where I post my drawings called Moindre (moindre for the search).

I may gonna do some movie posters, comic scenes , and probably sketches of characters.

A 3rd gen Charger from 1974 that I built for a friend.

In the middle of the 60’s , car manufacturers in the USA wanted to make some sort of compact car “pony cars” but fast at the same time. And the Mustang was born. Ford basically refined the muscle car industry by doing it small. There were 3 variants of the mustang you could see.

Hardtop coupe 2 door (square top)

Fastback coupe 2 door (bubble top the first year but fastback the next years)

And the convertible 2 door

But Dodge saw that the car has a success , he begins doing on his own project. We had to wait till 1966 to see the new model: the Charger.

The first two years were extremely looking fastbacks. The car was heavily inspired by the AMC Marlin (despite being a 2 door , this car is soooo loooong!) and Dodge basically took the concept out of the Marlin and and rebranded it as Charger . The front however , is was from the Coronet , a lower class before the Charger and it fits very well. The rear is nothing you ever saw in the the 60’s. This is probably one of the parts that stayed or the concept . The rear is just a big light bar and a metallic bumper. I mean I’m not a big fan of light bar taillights but I just have to admit that on the first gen Charger , it looks ugly. (I probably lost some people now). But the first gen are my favorites along with the third ones.

The second gen are the most unique ones. They downgrade a little to look almost as a Coronet. But we can clearly see that it has his own inspiration. You can look at the photos above while I tell you what’s unique about the second gen. The front wasn’t straight , it was curvy ,the same for the rear too, you’ve got the windows that go up for the rear and all of a sudden it falls . (And for the video games enthusiasts, yes I will tell you what impact those cars got in racing games). And probably the most recognized muscle car cause of one movie that change the car chases in cinema history. This movie was called euhhh… hmmm… b… bull… hmmm… pfff i don’t really remember the name but It was from 1969 or something. Bullit(1968)for those who didn’t get reference . But the worst of it is that this wasn’t the biggest (in terms of lengths,width or height) muscle car , it was just placed between the mustang and another car that I didn’t remember. Yes we can talk about the general lee but it didn’t impact me as much as the Bullit edition. and it was also present in the movie Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974) but encounter a pretty tragic fate. From the three years the second gen was built , my favorite will be the 68 version. Because he has hidden headlights without the split grille , that makes car more mysterious and dark vibes from the one from Bullit. And it’s my favorite taillights combination for this car.

After 1970 , the Charger received a new design and it’s not disappointing at all. Really love the 3rd gen variants R/Ts like the variants SEs (which is the civilian version of the Charger or economy version). Actually the one that I built is not the version I prefer the most , if you saw the original movie Gone In 60 Seconds (1974) at a certain moment, there is a garbage truck blocking of the road after a good moment of pure chase , and when the truck stop at the intersection this green Charger with black stripes and vinyl roof with what seems to be dragsters wheels in the back with classic rallye rims , had to do an emergency stop by doing a fishtail because this truck is in the middle of the road and (she wasn’t the escapist, yes cause the driver was female). The next minutes will broke your heart but I leave it to you to watch this movie with intense 40 minutes of pure carnage. Really unfortunate cause this car didn’t not have so much credits and it would’ve been a great thing seeing this Charger in action on another scenes or maybe have its own movie . But i can talk but nothing is gonna be down to make something about this car , and it’s gonna be forgotten just like some other cars. But yes those cars really aged well and still appreciate by muscle cars communities and video games.

After 1975 the Charger got a new look. This was the fourth and the last generation of Charger after a long Time. This one , despite being a nice looking car, doesn’t look like a charger at all. It looks more Chevy Monte-Carlo than Charger. If they rebadged it into another name , I would have love it more (and I do know it’s was also named ‘Cordoba’ but since Dodge is division of Chrysler , it doesn’t really count. Both Cordoba and Charger are the same cars).Don’t have l a lot to say about that generation rather that this was the last after a long time. As I am writing this post , I read that this car actually partipate in the 24H LeMans and it was named Olympia Beer. Is was also one of two nascar cars that participated in this race.

While we gonna make our way into the video games part , I would like to add that there’s the variants of the 69 Chargers that were called Daytona as the same for Plymouth with their Superbirds. Beautiful cars indeed with what Richard Petty race it and (unfortunately) accidentally wreck it and Richard Petty also raced the Third gen Charger.

I first knew the Charger when I was a little younger when we played ( what is gonna be Race driver Grid) Pro race driver a racing game not everyone knows but I’ve grown up since I feel that it is a little off track to see this car in this kind of game along with another corvette and a Shelby cobra AC. But It was my go to car. And we’ve got a whole new package of racing car games that my big brother bought , and this was Need For Speed Undercover (PS2) . The PS2 version was widely criticized because of his cheating AIs but apparently had a better handling system that the PS3/XBox version. I am not going to go spend talking video games specifications because this is not the goal of this post and it’s gonna take 2333 more lines to read. But maybe a little fact about Undercover , one of the only NFS games where you can do a 360 and recover from (and your points bar count that and starts to rise). No wonder why my brothers hated me because every time we did a split screen race battle , they would always win because I’m still rolling in this b-body while they already finish , and this is with this game I discover the Challenger but this is for another post. And it’s just a beautiful car indeed, but yeah I already knew this car in The Fast And The Furious (2009) the fourth, where Bryan O’Conner reunites with Dominic Toretto for stopping a villain in Mexico. I was so young maybe 6 or 7 y/o and it was my big sister who was watching the movie, and I loved the Charger in the movie along with the Chevelle. This is the first Fast And The Furious Movie I’ve watched. The Charger from the fourth, is so far my favorite variant of the Charger In all of the F&Fs movies . Still today the Charger have a meaning to me and to be the first muscle car I discover, i am not disappointed to have discover classic cars and everything. I’ve downloaded two Need For Speed games I’ve never played. Need For Speed Carbon (2006) and Need For Speed Pro Street (2007) I will do a post to show you my whole line of muscle cars .

I’ve met this new friend but is gonna be anonymous, that my parents knew his parent via zoom . And one day my mom told me that I should say at least hello to their son who was the same age to me but a little older. And I said hello to the family and we go to know each other really quick , they know that I love to draw (that’s something that everyone knows when they first meet me) and my mom thought it would be funny to also show what I loved to built , and (this is something not everyone knows) and there were really impressed. And he was really interested to me , something I’ve never feel since I was born (except my family) outside of my family . So his mom decided to come to our house to delivering some food and stayed here for talking . So we talked for hours and never see the time flew really fast . But at the end , the reason why I did this for this, was because he offered me a twin sketchbook and now I can draw characters without having to take out a A4 paper. When this is your family that offered you a gift , you can kind of expecting that it will happening, but this their responsibility and because they love you , but when it comes to someone outside of your family , it means something to you , like you have the confirmation that you exist and there is people that will care about you in the future. I want thank him for the sketchbook he gave me and the package of pencils that he presented to me for my sister when she’s gonna go into France for job reasons , to buy me those packages. I want thank him in advance for that.

“A car that never cease to amaze the public either by its technology or his look”

It’s no man’s secret! You may kind of want to have this car, or at least take a little drive onto a test track .

No worries , this car has every advantages to make you buy this car even if you’re not finding this attractive. Let’s step into the performances :

For this this little comet , you have a gorgeous sounding V4 that sounds V8 at times that made a good 168 horsepower for a ratio of 360 NM of torque and in addition to that it top out at 230 KP/H. 4 speed manual transmission in N pattern for ease of gear shiftings and buying time on the track, 4 independent suspensions that has been think to handle like plane around the corners and with the help of the racing tire Convea . Useless to say that the winner of the compacts series is by no hesitation this bird .

By his inspiration from the name of the famous french aviator René Fonck , the main objective of this project was to implementing a feel-like plane behavior into a car . And it was a success. The car has been tested by professionals plane pilots and the reviews are pretty positive. They are agree to say that this is the closest you can get to a plane without having to fly! The stripes has been inspired from his personal drawing on his aircraft ;The Flying Stork was his personal drawing, the leaf was his squadron’s logo he was in.

For a fair amount of price here at Grand-Fractura , our goal is to make rich cars for an affordable price that even the maid of the house can buy herself a limo . So feel free to negotiate the price if it’s not in your possession.

No , this was an hoax from the beginning till here. I was trying to simulate a vintage advert from the 70’s . I am not a full mechanic fan but I was trying to be accurate as possible (even searching the real life counterpart performance of the car to just double it which is in here a AMC Gremlin) and I don’t think I did a good job to the performance but the only real thing out of it was the French aviator part. There is indeed a real WW1 pilot named René Fonck that existed . You can google his name you will find it , and how did you find the editing of the video . Surely not the greatest but at least it got cuts and music synchro. The part where it’s at dusk was done intentionally by pure nostalgia . It took me back to three years ago when my sister gave to me her used phone and I learnt how to editing videos while I started making paper cars and I made a an earlier model of the Lexact .I’ve made a similar video with an earlier model of the Lexact with the same song (but this was a Karaoke version) but this is actually a pure instrumental .Just to say this was a nostalgic experience to edit this video.

Keeping good habits. The music is obviously not mine (I will eventually tell what music is mine but that will never happen and I don’t know how to properly make music) and just a cowboy experience with this music. I do not own the rights on this song. All rights belong to the owner(s) of the song.

Music used : Tito & Tarantula - After Dark (Instrumental) from the Quentin Tarantino movie From Dusk till Dawn (1996)

No “real” maid was assaulted during the making of this fake advertisement. I respect your job just like everybody respect everyone’s job . So I don’t have anything against you and you’re doing great . Force to all the maids.

Another set of photos of my Lexact with some friends.

Grey car: Suzuki Swift mk2 1989

White car: Opel Ascona[a] Voyage 1971

Main car : Grand-Fractura Lexact Fonck edition 1970 (amc gremlin)

(I keep forgetting to tell but all those cars you see on this account are paper cars , except I will say which photos are not papercraft cars and also the ones that are not mine).

[grandfracturalexact1970]

1971 Opel Ascona [a] Voyage (Nightime) . This is probably my favorite car of all the times . In case anyone wondering the car is Switzerland registered and France passeport I supposed ? You can see it on the license plate that the red emblem is actually the Switzerland flag and the black and white emblem is a France “passeport” I supposed ? But anyway I just love this car . By 1970 , Opel decided to drop the Ascona wich was a successful car . It was supposed to be between or replace the Kadett and Rekord I think it was and it did the job pretty well . Multiple variants exists , a 4 door sedan , a 2 door coupe and a 2 door station named “Voyage” . The engine at least in Europe came with 1.6 4 cyl that made as far as I know 95 hp. However in United-States the car got named 1900, wich is exactly the same as 1.6 or 1.6 sr . So both Manta and Ascona by the mid-70s in U.S got black plastic bumpers , and the wagon version of the Ascona was renamed as “Sportwagon”. Wich if you want my honest choice , I much prefer the U.S specs over the EU specs. And after 1975 the car got a new look , the car looks also great even my dad drive the [b] 1976-1979) and had a happy ending with this car back in the 80s , but I much prefer the [a](1970-1975) . The concept behind 2 door wagons is old as the 40’s and maybe 30’s . But half of the Opel’s wagon in the late 60’s and early 70’s came with as 2 door . That doesn’t mean that Opel only came with 2 door wagons , the Rekord as far as I know came with both 2 door and 4 door wagons . But if you know how to make a 2 door wagon , “Now you have my attention”.

A music thats fits in the perfect shades of lights.

A classic 1971-72 chevrolet malibu chevelle 2 door coupe . Normally when I think of a classic muscle car , i always come up with chevelle . I always don't go for famous ones like Charger , Challenger , Mustang... to tell you how different I am . Because is 70's , it's Chevrolet , Its massive , colors are vintage and it's just powerful.

This version is not a sport variant but a economy version but still equipped with a v8 . This car is supposed to be one of my character mom's car in my comic story name "Students In Freefall". When I got a moment , i will upload a least one sheet so you can have an idea of what the comic book will talk about .

More photos of the GF Lexact Fonck (no filter). This is a car that I wanted to make for a long time , first blueprints were made in late 2019 . But after that the car didn't make a return even tho my Google account has the name on it (note that at that time I didn't have any social media). In the late 2021 , the idea came back but to make it more devilish and dangerous even if this is a compact and were making fun of it . But before making it

I had to finish my work experience and that car was in my head the entire time til i finished the work experience. Note that this was already almost 2 years gone by and I didn't see it passed by .This was my only motivation until I finished my work experience . At the same time I've downloaded and play for the first time a flat out game , it was Flatout Ultimate Carnage , the only last and good flatout game ever made . I wish my car could have finished in a game like this I've said

But i'm looking forward to see my car appear in a racing arcade video game or a simulation like Beamng Drive as a developer idea or as a high quality mod , but this is still a dream and I'm just grateful to do something like this with my fingers rather than sitting on my bed browsing on internet . I will post more photo of this vehicle and other vehicles too and explain you the concept behind this car .
