Good job on the modeling. I would add the shocks on the inside of the front wheels since they would be visible. Looks like a nice project. Can't wait to see it finished.

Hey ashimator, I'm guessing this is a U.S. army jeep, right? The model looks good and I know it's a W.I.P. so I don't wanna rip it apart, but there are some important modeling details that are missing, have not been added, or need adjusting. Check some references and you'll see. Just off the top a few things that stick out from the angle of the shot....

I feel ya should add the running board along the side that you would step on to get into the jeep.

The part where the bumper connects to the grill needs some work because it looks like it's just floating.

The head lights should be set back into the grill.

No offense man. Like I said before it's a nice model, but it would be so much better if ya added the little details before you start texturing.

Keep up the good work!

good to re-read to get it into long-term memory
