      Great work...can't wait to see more!

      I'm curious, are you using physical dimensions taken from an actual car or blueprint, or are you doing this by eye from photo references or something else? I'm always amazed when someone successfully captures the complex body shapes of a car ..it would be interesting to know your workflow.

      You've got the idea. A precise blueprint is essential in this case.
      I mostly look up from this site http://www.the-blueprints.com/
      I usually split the blueprint into 4 parts: front, side, rear and top view. And then rotate, align them into precise position.

      In order to speed up workflow, I divided the scene into 4, using parallel projection : "top", "right", "back" and "perspective". This allows you to switch among them easily just by clicking those tabs.
      Once done with these things, we're ready to start.

      It's really hard to decide which part of the car to start but I usually begin with the front fenders. The key here is the number of segments you use when create the circle. It's quite hard to describe by words, let's just look at the picture:

      The more segments you have here, the more resolution the other parts can get.

      These are only some of my "tips" to speed up the workflow. If you're planning to creat some kind of car with good attention to detail and clean, highly recommend to use other software like 3DsMax, Maya or Cinema4D. No need to "play" with SU 🀣

        Looking very nice. I Love the topology.
        Btw, when modelling, have you used QuadFace Tools? http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=39442

            For some part of the car- yes. Couldn't apply QuadFace for the whole model since I didn't intend to model in quad from the beginning. I definitely love the ruby! πŸ‘

                  newest update! sorry for the delay but I've got lots of crazy stuffs to do since getting new computer. Almost finished! I'm already taking steps into rendering. Hope final results will be fine.

                  A "sneak peak" rendered scene. Done with Keyshot. Pretty good one, isn't it?

                    Since I don't have good reference images for the brake disc and caliper, just grab that one on the Warehouse πŸ˜„ hope it didn't bother the author. I'll fix that one later.
                    And I think this is not RS version, just... 2010 sportback version, you know, 4 seats, 4 doors πŸ˜†
                    I definitely love this 2010 version, because of its rims and headlights. They look kinda...sexy to me. They also took a lot of time to model but it's totally worth it.
