Will do it if i got some time. Visit me on www.prayorpanic.com then just click talk.

Matty really nice car you choose there! Seen 2 of them last week over here in Berlin. i think the blueprint was somewhere over @suurland? Really nice progress. maybe we can see a wireframe of the polycage under the NURBS?

Thanks.
prayas: The doors are cut from the body shape and extruded inwards as well as the body. You can kindof see the faces I used in the wire frame pic.

I quite happy with the whole thing, there is a few bits to finish and some texturing to do, but it will suit the purpose it was built for at this level of detail. thankns for the help...
