Citroen BX Break

Artwork Works in Progress
1

Hi everyone. i’m very early on in the stages of making a citroen BX break, my first proper car model. i chose it because 1) i actually quite like the car and 2)because the design itself is very angualr, so it should be easier to model. Here’s a screen shot of where i’m up to at the moment, maybe a bit early for C&C but if you have any please share them!

This is also a method to model cars, its called box modelling, it can be a headache sometimes (when mesh details scale up).

you are doing good, now I would suggest once you get the basic topology right, separate the parts and detail em. :wink:

cheers
