Looks good, but try to keep poly distribution a bit better, it seems to me that you have some parts a lot more heavy than the others. It may give you some problems later on when smoothing.

yea just what Scionic said. Its lookin like a way better start then ur mazda. Make sure u get ur hoot and bumper looking good before you move on because it will help ur poly plow stay better looking and more evenly spread.

Cheers Scionic & 99Gs Turbo.
It was pretty late last night and I guess I wasn't paying attention or something. I cleaned up the mesh though.

Ok.
The inverted colors really increased the file size, so I had to resize this one.

Did a little more work on the Audi. I'm starting to get the hang of this. I haven't done any details yet.

smoothing problem

When I smoothed the mesh, I ended up with these dark edges and I don't know why. The pols are all hard, so I don't know whats goin on.
