feeling a bit more confident with my modelling abilities so im attempting to make this car this is my progress so far

looks nice, just some advice because i had a problem with it when i modeled a car. Be careful were the edge of each panel meets the rest of the car, because when you try and render it you can get a pinching effect, i found it helped to keep re-using the prior edge of the panel by duplicating it and extruding it etc...

you might be fine i cant tell for sure in your screenshots

ill post wires maybe that will give you a bettter look whether ill encounter those problems

are u modeling it panel by panel? the only real issue i can see is where the door meets the back of the car, just because i can see a gap. the best way to explain it would be to assign a really shiny car like material and have some thing reflect of the car near the door area. on a real car the light reflected is in a smooth straight line. i know your model is still at an early stage, but it is best when modeling the rear of the car to start from were the door ends. i find duplicating the door then extruding from that to make the base of the rear end mesh. then you will have a smooth mesh.

the tutorial shows you how to model a lamborghini in 3ds max, the technique the guy uses is all about re-using a panel to make the next panel, i would give it a quick look, might explain it better than i have

cheers

dont worry about the rear its cause i meshed smoothed the door and left the rear like that when i smooth them booth it should be ok
now i want to make the hed lights but unfortunately i have no idea on how im going to do it can anyone point me in the direction of maybe of a tut

Remove the shiny paing scheme murambai. Reflective paint looks awful without a proper lighting rig, bounce cards and all the trimmings, and you want to save that until your model is finished. Modeling looks pretty solid so far.

looking good

thanks open
yeah everyone is complaining about the lighting but im still a novice there so until i get better this are the last scenes you will see like that
anyway worked on the back i just need to iron out my mesh to make it less bumpy and the back should be done
