This guy has done some great work, he's currently working on modelling a mk 1 mini.

Very very very high standard, i'd say there are som scale issues though.

On the dirty mucky rally style mk1 (which is gorgeously done!) the front grille is too small due to the bonnet being to large.

And the boot lid looks mahoooosive!



however, I think they look great, fcukin brilliant infact! nice one dom

One word...WOW! Thats amazing so life like! Im going to be using Maya at school for my art. How much does it cost? Bout same as Photoshop likely!

I'm not sure how much it costs, but you might be able to get discount through college

Search for the free download on google though...you can use it, but it puts "MAYA" all over it when you print it out!

Maya, like a couple of other high end 3D modeling/animation packages cost several thousand. The last time I saw the cost of 3D Studio Max it was about 6k. There are learning editions though, which are very powerful, but usually add a watermark to renders and limit the size of those renders. They also forbid you to use those renders for commercial use.

Its a very VERY good model, most people don't bother with dirt when they model and render cars, but I think its worked really well with this model.

As for the scale issues I not too sure. Have a look at some pics on this page. People who model things in that kind of detail tend to spend the majority of the time looking at blueprints, but more so, reference pics and sometimes even scale models (dinky cars, etc), so any inaccuracies are usually just tiny things that even the most anal of people wouldn't spot!

Also, this has been done for ages, I remember seeing this when I first got into 3D modeling, all those years ago....
