I submitted a contest on www.smcars.net about modeling lightweight cars : the “Light is Right” contest, of course name after the famous quote from the very famous Colin Chapman. Nothing more than about 950kg !
The deadline is for end of August. So far, we’re 12 competitors. Of course I’m in the contest, with a 2004 Ariel Atom II.
I keep trying to get some nice studio-style renderings. Last render I’ve got is here :
I like the way the paint catches the light. Still may be improved but a nice step took from my previous attempts.

Just a few screenshots from my DB9 model in Blender to show the way I’m getting from blueprints to a full model. Still to be completed, as the model is not yet complete.
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 :
