The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

Ini I will Grab some screen shots from modeller to show ya, it wasnt done from a box.

1. i setup modeller with four view panes, top, front, side, perspective.

2. dropped plans of car into each view, created splines and patches from scratch.

i had a lot of help with this as well as its the forst time i have ever tried to model something like this,

a good example tutorial of this i will post here, the one for this is a purchased tutorial so i cant post it here.

Hehehe Hope some of you 3d Bods try some of these, these were the best tutorials i found when researching this project.

But seriously take a look at that lewis guys portfolio site His work is awsome, and he created probably the best ever tutorial as linked above for modelling a vehicle.. It's a freebie.
