Howdy,
I’m a newbie thats just started playing around with blender to give me something productive and entertaining to do. I’ve been working on the face tutorial last 2 days and came in here to post a few good questions in regards to my modeling methods (or lack there of). So I had a page typed up of questions, and my browser crashed :<
So, pissed off and unable to write I started to browse through the WIP posts, and found a number of great threads that answered all my questions !~ So In hope to help other newbies, I was thinking that it may help to gather alot of the best WIP posts that have alot of input to them. The Bruce thread in particular had incredibly useful links for modeling techniques. All my questions turned out to be answered with 2 words “Edge Loops” 
(I hope anyway!)
Anyway, I hope to be posting some stuff soon! Thanks for the great site.
PS: Some of the links that rocked:
