        Ok, now we're getting somewhere πŸ˜†

        My one thought is the front grille might be better integrated, somehow the lines don't quite mesh.Andy

        Yeah, I know what you mean. That's one of the areas I'm not happy with. I'll work on that, might make it even worse, but I'll work on it. Thanks

        As you pointed out, maybe for some folks, the body could use a little more subdivision. If you did that, would it mean a complete reassembly of the scene?

        Yeah, it's lumpy. Maybe that'll be it's name. I've never been able to use that Subdivide and Smooth, always messes everything up for me. Have to do it manually, one line at a time. But you're right. I won't actually attack that until I'm sure the design is finalized tho, easier to make the changes that way.

        Yay, Speed Buggy! Maybe I could replace the grill with that smile, solve two problems at once πŸ˜‰

        Ummm....yeah, I'll get right to work on that.

        Thanks for all the input. Remember, I'm a Vulcan, I have no feelings to hurt!

          I love it! The body shape is really cool, (I don't see any lumps!), and the wheels look great!

          The only criticism I have is the red trim stripe...I would tone done the saturation of the color, it just seems too bright compared to the rest of the materials. Try it out and see what you think.

          Really nice model!

            Thanks. You may be right about the red trim stripe, I'll try toning it down.
            Sorta like building a car by remote control, huh πŸ˜„

                Thank you sir! Here are a couple monochrome shots. Lets you see all the imperfections (well, some of them)

                Now I've gotta get into town for some supplies, our first winter storm of the year is starting to hit us, with some really high winds, and for some reason Michigan doesn't seem to know about the use of (or existence of) snow fences.

                  I would really like to criticize your work, but thereΒ΄s almost no room for that here πŸ˜„. Should I ever try to model a car, your c&c would be very much appreciated.

                  i agree with that opinion. that's why the only thing came into my mind about the image, was a hot figure standing and showing the expression of how hot they are πŸ˜†

                  it looks perfect to me πŸ‘

                    Thanks, but on the road it has a lot of rattles. Tough to track them down.

                      I suggest you save some modeling time and forget the bikini! 🀣

                            Nice work, I like this one much better than the 1st roadster, it has an interesting combination of muscle car and hot rod. πŸ‘

                              Thanks. I know what you mean, I look at the first one and say "Jeez, what was I thinking". I did like some things about it, the interior was pretty good. But hey, I learned from it, and that's always a good thing.
