You should really stick to a single project per thread, it makes topic search more effective when looking at thread names.

About your 2D sketch, you should first try to produce a 3D cage of your model. Here's an example of what I mean :



The model shown in this picture is a standard mesh, but without any faces. Just edges with enough vertices to make them looking smooth enough.

Achieving such a model is a good first step toward 3D modeling, as it will get you thinking 3D about every single shape of your car.



Currently project : Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster
Previous : Marcos 1800 GT (60's winner), Ariel Atom II (LightIsRight winner), SuperSeven (WZA #4)
