    cool, I'll have to take a look at that. Thanks for the clarification about the order. I was trying to think how to get a clean reduced mesh like that from an sds mesh πŸ˜•

        Well I for one am not enjoying this thread. Every time I see what you are doing I want to put my hands in the garbage disposal! (right after I buy a garbage disposal. and after I take a hammer to my computer). Your methods are so far beyond my capabilities it really drives me crazy. You, sir, are the Grand Master of car modeling (picture here a smilie humbly bowing)

          Dear sir, trust me it is not something that you don't know ! You know how to build things, but you have not found your own efficient way of building cars .
          With blueprints it is even easier(because u have a design to follow and you don't have to create another one) and harder(because you have a design to follow exactly) . But,with line tool you create the geometry and with move tool you place it in position . I think it all remains up to your patience .
          Yet on a scale of 1 to 10 about car modeling(in all 3d softwares) I consider myself somewhere near 5 .
          I am almost ready for final subdivision, taillights details are just the ones left(I hope) !

            Elisei, you're doing an amazing job! The deal with this real model, is that you can really show your sketchup kung-fu. πŸ‘

              Hi Stefan !
              How have you been ?

              I wish SU could handle a bit more easier heavy models(or is it my PC slow).
              I am ready for the paintjob !!

              The heaviest part is the rear bumper which took about a minute to subdivide !

                    A work of art! What's the poly count on this thing? It's got to be HUGE!

                        And I think I am done with it !! Though I want to add the logos and publicity stuff on it, I don't quite know what is the best way. Maybe I will make some extra mesh with the logos on it and place it very close to the body, in this way the geometry will look smooth(as I did with the windshield decals).

                                        I would like to have a pink one! I just can't imagine what faces will those big fans do when they will see such a beast in pink ! πŸ˜†

                                        Meanwhile first good render in hypershot with postpro in photoshop !

                                        I haven't made any post processing so far(at least not that much) on my cars,so it is a new field for me .
