Everything looks ok, but I would avoid putting too much of the same thing in your Portfolio. You have 4 or 5 renders of the same house, pick 1 or 2 and then use the other. And its good to see your car coming along so well, I cant see the issue with the front of the car, maybe the wire is hiding it. I thought it looked good.

Did you use polys only or did you start the NURBS first, for the car?

Good Luck

I like to start with a single polygon plane of 1 division and fit it to the image planes and then just extract the edges and match the flow untill i get what you see.

the thing that popped out at me of your interiors was the repetition of textures.
The floor texture is overly repetitive, infact all of you textures that have a wood grain (the little cabinet) and the floor, seem to reuse the same texture too many times in one render.
If you are rendering just those shots, you should tweak the textures to look scattered and varied for a more natural and realistic look.

Otherwise things are looking really good.

Peace, love and Anarchy~~~~~~~

And here is the wireframe. Also there is a little bit of clumpy look in the front part of the car on that square under the head light

This is coming along nicely!

The model looks nice and relatively clean.

Nice work!
