This is what I've been working on for the past 7 weeks. It's for the complimentary 3d course at the university I'm in as an exchange student. Awesome lecturer-guy just gave us free hands on doing whatever we want on the course so, naturally, I wanted to try out building my first 3d car. Since I have a personal connection to W201 Mercs, I chose to turn and old work of mine into the next dimension. Click the image below for it's dA address.
