    I've been having exams lately which make me a little bit stressed out. However these videos of you working on the stagea really make me cheer up and be happy. Thank you Tofu Auto Works!

  • @martinm4961

    Excellent work! I feel like your design style has evolved so much for the better from the Mazda. Your choice of lines and the width of the flares keep it very tasteful. Looking forward to the next episode! 😃

    • @TofuAutoWorks
      @TofuAutoWorks  Рік тому +25

      Yeah I definitely feel that too. I'm putting more thought into the functionality of the design rather than just "Let's make the widest widebody I can" which was my design philosophy on the Mx5.

      Absolutely, so many people are willing to do the wrong things and somehow thinks it makes sense to upload it and act like some sort of teacher. Theres a few guys I watch that still take it seriously but many dont.
      Heck I’ve been seeing videos where the comments get spun up because they are doing it wrong and the next video they are mocking the comments. If you are gonna do the wrong thing just dont upload lol.

    Loved watching you sculpt the foam from an ugly block into something that just looks right on the car. I don't think I'll look at an M35 Stagea the same way again after seeing this come to life. Keep up the awesome work!

      Haha, mate you're out there inspiring thousands of people everyday. Not to mention you have a proper grown-up job on top of all the amazing content you put out. I mean this when I say it, if it weren't for you and people like you out here showing what the car community has to offer, I doubt I'd be where I am today and probably wouldn't have ever bothered with UA-cam.

    So amazing watching the process... Easy to take for granted when you see the finished article but the amount of work that goes in to the design process, the shaping etc, let alone creating the moulds and everything else that goes in to producing the final product!! Massive respect! :)

  • @diklongley01
    @diklongley01 Рік тому

    And that, ladies and gentlemen, goes someway to explaining why a body kit for my car would cost at least 35% (before paint + finishing) of the car's purchase value .

    Thats very cool, you can really see the shape coming together now, the way you followed the factory lines gives it such a nice design. It will need a cool paint job after for sure, something bright or a cool pearl metalic maybe. Look forward to the next one!

    I don't know if you're already planning on doing it but I think that since the front fenders won't be covering the whole bumper you should maybe add a canard or something along those lines to make the car look lower and complete the front end. Awesome progress, can't wait to see the finished parts! This car might even dethrone the RS6 Avant as my favorite wagon ever.
