Vehicle: 1989 Sauber-Mercedes C9

Hi Eric....

Nice start for your 1st modelling attempt...

I'd do some small corrections (I compared you object with photos found on the web):

http://modellismo.marvel.it/3d/mercedesc9_001.jpg

1. This edge is different from the real car, on the very front the sides smoothly fade into the hood.

2. the edge here should'nt be sharp, its a curve (check the link on the bottom of this post).

3. this edge is a little bit rounder

4. the connection between the side profile and the main body has around 60-70 degrees, not straight like yours, should be easy to fix.

This is the link I checked that has the best images, try to compare them to your work, and keep tweaking... I know what your going through since I'm doing almost the same... with the difference that I work poly
:)

Thanks for the tips... I only did the basic shape of the front so it looks kinda like a C9.

I plan to do the front last, since I think it will be the most difficult part.

I will be posting updates :)
