Hi Guys
im decided to try and model a train.
ive set up my image planes (Ive included a screen shot), can someone please tell me where a good place would be to start coz i dont know, and also, would it be best to use polyons or nurbs.

it's all a matter of preferences of course, but I would simply start with a cube and go from there, extruding and splitting as needed. There are some who disagree with this method, though.

Look at the train and break it down into parts...that part looks like a cube with a hole in it....a cylinder here with the top widened,etc. Then use what you want to create it. I frequently mix Nurbs and Polys when I can. I prefer Nurbs but I always use poly cubes
