I'm going to try a car this time
- 
Your making great progress

 - 
Thanks tuna!
 - 
Ah! I just remembered. The Mercury Merkur 4xti.
 - 
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.
  
 - 
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)


 - 
More front end refinement.


 - 
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.

 - 
Added tire texture from the 3D Warehouse.

 - 
Thanks Dave!
Still have a few more details to finish before I do the first render.
Do know where I can get a good city street HDRI? It has to be free. I can find a couple of parking garages, but that's all I can find.
 - 
OK - that looks good to me. IMO it kind of brings the car alive.

I just updated with a second picture in previous post.
Thanks!
 - 
Again, JMO, I like the look of the car better in the first image but like the setting in the 2nd image. Maybe the is a way to combine the best features of the two images now. Again, JMO, rendering brings out the good features of your work.
Wish I could visualize and produce something like your car.
 - 
Thanks again Dave!
It takes the right HDRI. I'm rather limited with what I have available. I'm still pleased with both of them and these are just quick test renders.

 - 
Quick test render in Raylectron with stock HDRI.
