This is a work-on-it-when-I-have-a-chance project... an hour here and there, but I will update here when I make some progress.

Any C+C would be much appericiated.

Looks great so far. Hard to cc at this stage.

A bit of depth around the wheel-wells would look good. Right now, they look like sheet-metal that just comes to a halt. Does that make sense? Lookin good so far though.

Yep. I think that would help it. I currently have another set of polygons inside the fender, i should probably scale them down to give it more thickness.

Thanks

Thanks Wilson3d.

JIII, are you suggesting making the tire a bit wider and the white wall area bump out more/rounded? Looking at the images more, I think you are right about the tire.

should your hub be a little larger as compared to the tire?

looking great...

if you look at those images you will notice how the metal bends inward slightly towards the tire giving the wheel well a rounder look.

yeah the tire could be diffrent but when you are done its not gonna be noticable anyway.

With all the cars being posted, I felt like I should post the little bit i have done since a month ago. The seem in the center is from the symmetry object... the points will be welded in the final. I need to fix the chrome bands a bit... the bottom band need to become half round in the very front, and all of them need to protrude a bit more from the hood. I am quite happy with how it is comming along. In case anyone wondered, I am point modeling it.

Hey FredSpeaks! Looking good!:thumbsup: I would just turn down the HDRI some at this point. I am probably getting ahead of you though since your still modeling. The model is looking great.

Small update. Need to find a better way of putting the ridge line on the hood, and the chrome exhaust is just a stand in right now. Hope you like.
