Hi, while not at all new to 3d, I’m completely new to Blender, so to learn it, I chose to model one of my favourite cars ever, the VW SP2. Here’s the progress.

sick! can we get a topology cage?
Very good work. Keep going. How do you make sharp lines in your model?
Glad you like it… The sharp lines are made with supporting edge loops on either side of the crease… I’ll post some wireframes as soon as I find out how to render them 
To render wire frame, juste add wire frame node, plug output in a emission shader for instance. Add mix shader with your existing shader.
Alternate wireframe method. Go into edit mode, select all edges, mark all edges for Freestyle. Then enable Freestyle rendering pass and set it to render marked edges. A bit more setup, but it can give some rather clean results.
Now that’s not bad at all, quite nice actually. Now show us the wires [strikethrough]you skilled 3D modeler you[/strikethrough] ya silly Blender noob! 
Wow, the freestyle rendering method is really cool! So much potential for so many things. One question though… If I use Cycles in Progressive mode, is there a way to stop the rendering, so that the Freestyle overlay gets rendered as well? If I press ESC, it just stops the whole thing altogether…
in the meantime, here’s some wireframes.

I remodelled the tires, as there are just too many details to model and use as geometry, so I created a heightmap to use as True Displacement combined with Bump for the tiniest details… THis way, I’m hoping to keep things a little more “procedural”, allowing me to have more detail and at the same time keeping it easier on the viewport and frame buffer at render time.
nice work, very clean! 
couldn’t keep myself from doing some rendering, even though the model is still far from finished. This is pretty much a raw corona render with only some tone-mapping and contrast applied inside the frame buffer.

Hello, will you make the sp2 file available? Your sp2 looks beautiful.
