Magnum 50cc Scooter

It's December, whoohoo!! means I get to play again.
I have a few niggling odds and ends to complete before fully playing however today I started on a new model, after being inspired and jealous by a few awesome recent models.
Anyway, I decided to model a popcorn machine/scooter, I bought a couple of these a few years ago for the wife and I, and really enjoy riding them to the pub (coming home can be dodgy sometimes)
I'm going to be using SDS 2 for most of my modeling and texturing, I'm alpha/beta testing it as most here know. Okay, here is the fairing in stages of proxy to subdivded.
Here is what I have so far..

Great to have you back Pete! I wanna see that Batmobile you mentioned on FB
-
Looks great.
-
Thanks, more playing, gonna change a few details and add a few new one when I get to play again.
Rich, I will take a look for it, it was on my old dual core that I gave to my kids a while back, I have an old 60's version as well as an attempt at the tumbler.

wow nice modeling pete!!!

Very nice Pete
In the first image that shows the front end, are you roughly shaping out the fender then applying Sub Divide & Smooth? -
Yes, I create a rough proxy shape, then run SDS2 1 iriteration, then I use the SDS sculpting tools to refine the shape before subdividing a second time for finished shape, if I make a mistake I can just reduce the poly's with the SDS poly reducer (like an undo)fix and divide again.
Here is an image of the proxy undergoing a divide, I can see how it will look before committing, really cool feature.

Slightly more progress, here you can see the wires.

I never saved any screen shots, however, I have an old tutorial (really old) that I made for a car tyre/tire, I used a similar process.

exquisite modeling, Pete

The trick is knowing when to stop.

Wow, really nice model and a terrific render you have here, Pete. I am quite impressed.
How long did it take for you to model it?
What rendering engine did you use?
Best,

wow Pete you have amazing modeling skills. So did I miss something, is there a SDS v2 out? or are you lucky enough to test it out? -
Great render Pete. I haven't kept up, what renderer are you using these days?
-Brodie
-
Thanks. I use Thea render.
-
That is fantastic Pete. Makes me jealous that I don't have much time to play myself.
-
Beautifully done, Pete. It's great to see quality work. I'm still playing with Thea, and so far, I like it. You reminded me a while back that because it's a WIP, tutorials are not available yet. Do you know of any decent lessons or tips that may be out there currently?
Thanks.
