The Martian Rover

Hey guys,
Another work in progress thread, that hopefully will get finished! If it doesn’t, well it will be added to my list of learning experiments to add towards a future project. Anyways I watched The Martian recently and liked the design of the rover so I decided to challenge myself to some hard surface modelling. I’m using reference images, but no ‘tracing’, simply using 3/4 views and other references to capture the form and to prevent myself getting hung up on minor adjustments.

So far I have almost finished the main cabin body.
