A car is not necessarily the easiest first project to take on but good luck anyways

Kinda makes me feel like im wasting my time doing this when its already been done. And to such a high standard, far beyond my skill level.

you need to realise that not all of CG is about modellers and I think that that fact sometimes gets a bit forgotten... Im not a modeller by any stretch of the imgination but I do other things quite well. Find your strengths.... 
hell I sound like a wise old man... Alan

Thanks for the advice Alan, I think starting out with a car as my first project was abit to much. But I guess I wont know if it is to much until I have tryed as hard as I can.
Stay tuned for more progress.

I stay away from anything that looks realistic.. I find it way too hard to get the proportions close enough... thats why I tip my cap to you my brother!
keep up the good work.

that's what blueprints are forOriginally posted by howardporter

and lots & lots & lots or reference photos to make up for things the BPs don't show you. it's too bad Maya can't just take the blueprints and make a car automatically. maybe i'll email Alias & ask about that:p the car's looking pretty good, but i think the edges need to be sharpened up on the bottom edge all across the car, especially near the front. keep at it
