New parts are :

• Part of side mirrors : is missing the base plate for the moment
• Preliminary rear fog lights
• Proximity sensors at the bottom of the rear bumper
• A license plate at the rear (with nothing on it for the moment) : I think I’wont put anyone on the front, it doesn’t suit the car at all !

I’ve also played with colours : here’re some test renders showing 3 different colours for the same model :

The last render is a test to have an overview of rendered headlights. Materials will be enhanced, hopefully.

Not so many words here, please pay attention to the pictures. All information is in them.

Step 0, I setup my blueprint :

Step 1, I model major bodylines, to have a sketch of the car :

Step 2, I can close polygons to have a real mesh. This step needs tweaking of bodylines to get a clean polyflow :

Step 3, now polygons are set up. I need to get smooth transitions when needed. Or hard edges on some places. So I subdivide my mesh with Blender subsurf modifier. That way all defects will be visible with default in-scene lighting.

Step 4, I move some vertices rows to create empty space between body parts :

Step 5, it’s time to give some thickness to the body. I also add extra vertices rows to give hardness to edges needing some

Step 6, time to model details (work in progress as of writing) :

Time to test a render. Here’s a clay render, using relatively simple Yafray settings :

Here’s the blueprint I’m using, found on www.smcars.net. I don’t know credits for the picture :
