THE VANGUARD  - M.H.C. 006

Since I’ve known Ash, he has been sharing his passion for big trucks and constantly passing me references, pictures, and crazy videos about those Baja machines. Obviously, I couldn't resist getting involved in this vast Baja universe with such an ambassador.

I'm super excited about this build because it is the first time I'm doing something outside of a racing sports car; so I’ve had to learn and adapt to a new mind setup. At first, I was going to build out a Ford Bronco for this new venture.  However, during a brainstorming session with Ash, he showed me a super slick, elegant Scout 2 and I knew immediately that it had to be my next build: The Vanguard!

THE VANGUARD - M.H.C. 006

On the Vanguard, I wanted to keep the integrity of the original design with just some adjustments to the wheels and suspension…pure functional design.

THE VANGUARD - M.H.C. 006

Overall, the final build of the Vanguard is a result of a deep study of how these Baja trucks work and the reasononing behind these particular design choices. So I started with a pretty basic Hum3d Scout2 model as a base.  From there, I shaped and developed the new look by doing some rough sketches and notes on top of it.  This process helped to make sure there was a clear vision on the exterior look before starting the hard-core modeling process.

"I can easily say this is the most enjoyable car I have ever built… and it's not even a supercar."

"The livery hand-drawn illustration was inspired by those classic heavy metal band covers and just fits perfectly on this brutal machine."

I really enjoy working with Ash because we have such good synergy.  We work side by side helping each other and sharing shaders, modelling parts, and lighting setups back and forth until we get the right result.
It's been such a blast working together on this one.

"I view every single build as a good opportunity to improve the preset materials and to push to myself to the next level."
