nice competition. that will be hard - but i am up for it: as soon as i get some done i start my own thread - and very good this one needs not be textured ...

would a hero on rollerblades count as hero plus vehicle? user added image

another question: what is the difference of villian and hero? it does not make any difference, unless you see how they act ...

some questions: the rules say no texturing, can i still make different colored lambert shaders so the different parts are distinguishable? and if lights are allowed, what about slight shadows? should the model be connected, or are seperate parts grouped together ok?

and another question: if work effort does count, what is better: a wireframe you cannot look though (thus needed years to model) or just minimal curves that look like more as they are good choosen? (right now the only thing i have is some nurbs circles that get lofted.)

you can texture or color.. but for final the final render no textures are allowed.. shadows are allowed, since lighting is allowed..
as for the wireframe you post what you want.. after all it your entry.. :p
in the challenge everything counts.. but most of all it's the Idea.. hehe user added image
