I'm back after ages of hiding lol. Well anyways, I still havent fixed my comp because I have a lot of bill to catch up with and trying to finish that skyline on this new computer stinks bad. It keeps freezing so I have to hold out on it a bit but until then..........I decided to redo the eclipse this time add real details since the first time i was just learning. I have my friends eclipse outside to use as reference so Ill try to make it as good as possible.

and last wire frame shot. Again, the mesh is a bit uneven in certain places...some too many verts...some too little but it will come to play once the headlights get started.........

Nice work there fella!!!

I don't know if you knew that there is actually a tutorial on how to build this!!!

I've got some pictures of my progress so far and will try to attach them. If you can see anything on mine that is wrong then I would be also grateful for any help, but likewise, if there is something on my model that helps, then please use it!!

But great work there fella and keep it up!!!

I want to see how this goes!!

Hey 99GsTurbo. Haven't seen you in a while. There are millions of bodykits for this car, are you gonna use any or are you gonna stick to modeling stock?
