Right here it is a Volvo 240...

Ok thats pobably not going to look very nice, but I have seen worse cars for MM2.

I was looking through the forum when I decided to try modeling, and in about 2 hours I had built this.

I don't thinks it's too bad for the first thing I have ever modeled!

My first model was worst.

Seriously, it looked like it had been through a wreck (front was very scrunched up and it had a good amount of unconnected polys.

A bit more complete, I finished the wheelwells and bottom but I am struggling with texturing.

Any help would be apreciated.

lol my modeling abilities, i managed to create one of those kiddy trollies that yuo see, like the 1 below

except it was a rubbish model and i couldn't work out how to fit colours. I have never tried again since.

best of luck with it though

It's an enough good low polygons model, but it can much improved. You really need to calculate the normals.
But as you've told it's a modelling practice model; you can do a new better one.

Update!

I finaly got the textures working (I useed the blueprints).

Good, now just edit the blueprint texture to make some paintjobs.

I know that this is a practice model, but the polygons planning is totally wrong and the whole polygons placement isn't linear.
Keep in mind these first rules to start a new model making.

Right, I plan to finish the car and then start the new one properly.

But I have had a problem, when I come to weld the two halves together it will only select one side (the original).

Anyone know how to fix the the problem?
