Looks great and what a good reason.

The Datsun brings back some memories and that is some beautiful rendering.

Wowwww, that is so impressive. How do you get the material applied so consistently across the model?

Thanks a lot for the comments, been modelling the cars I would like to own but can't afford. Buick is one of my favourites Modelling a jar?

Man, that paint looks good, will definitely try it. Thanks a lot.

Thanks Bolos Here's some of the reference pics I used and my modelling with the blue prints. I actually rounded off the back in the later renderings but hey, if it's out by a bit I'm cool with it.

Yep, looking soooo much better, you have filled a big hole in my knowledge. Going to go and make a few glass objects :) :) . Thanks again. Thank you, I turn the hypernurb subdivision renderer up to 4, mainly for the tight curves. First time I have used it but the boot vent corners were tight and had corners on a lower setting.

I think I got it. I ended up with only the transparency chanel, refraction 1.52, no exit reflections, Fresnel reflect 100% , Fresnel texture, mix mode normal and absorption distance .001 ( went from .1 to .01 etc bit couldn't see any difference.) Only issue is I believe the refraction is too strong.

Thank you so much for your comments, very encouraging. I 'tampered' with exit reflections but it didn't make any difference and I don't know how to achieve real world thickness, google just can't solve all life problems sometimes :)

Well I am really happy with this. A few firsts for me and a few mistakes. Any comments and consructive criticism welcome.

Got most of the front done, really happy the way it's turning out.

That is awesome. I wouldn't have the imagination to even think of it.

So far

Oooops, always forget them. Not sure how to do it so I just took a screen shot. Thanks for the comments.
