New Austin Mini

[allseeingi]

Hi Eyesight,

Overall it's looking pretty good so far. The overall shape of all your body sections look perfect. To a certain extent it's probably a little early to go over it in detail but I did notice a few details that you were probably aware of already ;).

First off, the door. Check your references regarding the door window, it doesn't have a frame around it, the top meets the roof section itself. Also, it's difficult to tell from your image but it doesn't look like the line of the top of the door body runs straight with the line at the top of the rear main body. Also, I think maybe the gap between the door body and the main body is slightly too big on both sides. I'm not sure but from the shading it looks like the section between the door body and the bonnet doesn't run flush with the door and body. Also, it looks like you've modelled a frame around the windcreen incorporating the A-Pillars. If you look at a photo the A-Pillars are actually seperate sections, each side runs directly from the main body to the roof section in a straignt line and the top of the windscreen meets the roof section directly. Check your references on the headlamp surroundings and obviously you haven't finished the front bumper yet.

Sorry for my crappy explanations. Some of these are a bit anal I know but I'm too much of a perfectionist for my own good :rolleyes:.

I'm really looking forward to this one. I'm a MINI nut!

You might already know about this but I would have thought this website would be invaluable to you (The main gallery especially has some good pics):

This picture in particular I hope will explain my above ramblings:
