this is looking like it'll be photo realistic in terms of modelling.

What was your basic technique to make this car? poly/ nurb, seperate panels or one piece? What was the tutorial you followed for the car you did before this as u mentioned in the first post?

Just one thing though, the scoop on the roof seems to look a little ugly. Maybe its like that on the real thing but imo it spoils an other wise nice looking car.

hi Aidan

sorry I didn't reply to your post ok my basic steps are to start off with a poly plane then extrude the edges to create the panels then you can seperate the pieces using extract I can't mention the tutorial on here as it wouldn't be allowed and will proberly get deleted

thanks
Rob
