        Had an old cockpit and wheels I made from another project that I am using for interior and exterior scale.

          More rear end details.

          But nothing is set in stone right now. You will also notice some more side refinement near the front fender.

          I can't believe I've gotten this far in just 3 days! Just a few years ago this would have taken me weeks to months.

          I should note that I had made the wheels last year and the cockpit I made was an aircraft design I was working on 3 years ago.

          Still, I can't believe how fast I'm making the body.

            Fiddle, fiddle, fiddle. I just can't do a little. πŸ’š

            Adjusting proportions and adding details.

              I think you are going about it the right way, slowly adding things until it feels 'right' for you. If it's worth anything, I would have one. πŸ‘Š πŸ‘

                More adjustments to come. I hate those headlights. 😎

                        Still working out the front end.

                        Widened the roof pillar. Hid some more lines. Changed the side window back to the other shape.

                          Didn't like it so I simplified it again.

                            I kind of like this front end. Maybe a little more refinement, but it's very close.

                              Some minor details left then choosing a color.

                                How does blue look?

                                  While the blue looks fine to me, given the style of the car I would expect for it to have a little more of a spaceship look. This might be more obvious in a rendered view, Again JMO.

                                  I should also mention though that I think the design of the car is really neat, eye catching and something that Elan Musk might be interested in building. πŸ‘ πŸ‘

                                    Thanks! I'm not set on any particular color.

                                    Most spaceships are white, which works as well.

                                    So, white?

                                      Here is a white version with black trim accents. (and some more refinements)

                                          I like the white.

                                          Now try Twilight Render Hobby with a metallic shine parked in a neat city setting. I think it would be neat. πŸ˜†
