    Hey all!

    I have been a little short on models to make recently...
    I would like to re-brush-up on my skills a little. However I am running out of ideas of what to do...
    Would someone give me a model to make? I mean anything I want to try something a little harder....
    This would be a big help!

    Thanks in advance!
    Taylor,

    P.S give me something specific to model, not like "build a car" tell me what car to model...

            Should be a fun challenge, depending on the level of detail you intend to model I believe it would make a great model for your portfolio.

            Have fun.

              And in fact it is not even as hard as it would seem first. It's all regular, geometric shapes and (yes indeed) depending on the level of details you want to add, it can be built up from simple to detailed step by step (and this way it's a good piece to practise on).

                  Found this, which should help with proportion.

                    hey all
                    thanks earthmover, but I need something with High detail
                    can't seem to find the plans i need...
                    its too complicated a model to do with out perfect plans, sorry....
                    any other thoughts?
                    I need some thing that is a lttle less complicated maybe a little smaller?
                    how about something modern? (does'nt have to be buildings!)
                    Thanks again!
                    Taylor,

                      Come on Taylor, you can do it!
                      Gaieus is right, there is a lot to learn when you work your way up, starting off with some primitives. First lesson: keeping it simple. Adams plans seem to be good for a start, they even have a scale.
                      Don't want to push you, just trying to encourage. 😉

                          C´mon, don´t get so discouraged!
                          Perfect plans are hard to find, but they are not enough anyway - as it was mentioned before, it all depends on LOD you are going to put into it. If it is going to be a highly detailed model, you´ll probably need lots of reference images as well.

                          Now what´s the challenge in that? 😄

                          EDIT: However, take a look at the http://www.collectibleblueprints.com/Index.html - you might get some ideas and inspiration.
                          Good luck!
