Started splitting more body parts away from the car, so that I can detail them up...

Here's the car without all of the parts visible...to give you a rough estimate of how much of the car body itself is still there...

Okay, if you are going to ask me questions like that...I would prefer it if you would actually READ the thread, I have already answered that 5 times or so, and this will be the last.

Not to criticize your work or anything, and I hope I'm helping you out some, but I'm not totally convinced on that front end. It seems a bit too rounded on the upper part of the bumper and a bit squished.
There are a few other things I noticed as well. The headlight covers shouldn't be rounded at the corners, take a closer look at a few of the pictures. Another thing is the front fenders. They are a bit too rounded as well. I don't see the definitive crease that we normally see. I think to get a better idea of how it is, you might want to look in the classified section for some stand-alone fender pics.

Again, sorry if you're already conscious about these and I hope this helps some when you get into some of the precise details. Other than that, I honestly can't wait for you to finish this so I can make some killer wallpapers.

I do know about the front, I was looking at it the other day and realizing that it is not neary as detailed or as complete as the rest of the car, I may need more help with the front yes, but I am aware of it and will be working on it as soon as I am able to.

I've been working on a showcase room for the FC and FD for the past little bit, and hope to have it done by Monday or Tuesday night.

No real updates on the FC yet, I've done a little minor work on it, but not enough to really make an important update; but I'll keep you all updated.

Once again, thank you to all those who have donated in order for me to continue modeling without a stable job, so I can focus on things...but my money is slipping again, if you are interested in helping me out my paypal email account is cgstemplar@hotmail.com

Thanks again for all your encouragment...and here is the show room; keep in mind it is still a WIP (Work in Progress)

If you don't have the money to make a showroom in your house... then build one using graphics for free!

Hehehe... j/k looks great. Can't wait to see the finished FC.

Another update, fixed some problems with the back, it looked like I had two ends to the rear hatch if you look at the pic directly above this one...

Also fixed some more errors around the car, and have pretty much perfected the basic body shape...

Alright, several changes have occured in the past few days. My friend that I was living with said that he wanted to actually start learning modeling (he has had interest in the past) and so we are getting investors around here, and are going to try to start up a professional modeling company here in my hometown next to Portland, Oregon.

If anyone is interested to donating to this fund, please contact me through PM, I'm going to be making a separate PayPal account for this just to keep things between my business separate...

But also, besides helping me out that way, I need GOOD high-resolution pictures of the following angles and angles like it....preferably S4 just so that it will match my blueprints, or point out to me what makes it a S4 over an S5 or something....

Thank you for your help.

EDIT: Alright, I was contacted by someone on the forum, asking why I was turning greedy, so PLEASE let me clearify this last post....

This last post above was "This is what I'm doing, if interested, you can contribute" not a "I HAVE A BUSINESS HELP ME NOW BITCHES!"

I do appreciate everything you have done, and if you can not or will not do anything to help, that is fine, me as an art student would love the help however.

I'm sorry if the original message above came off the wrong way.

Nice work so far.

The visual differences between S4 and S5 are quite basic.
Differences:
- front bumper
- mirrors
- molding down side of car
- tail lights
- Wheels - but they are all ugly (I'd go after market, unless you want it completely factory)

Other than that, I don't think there is much difference styling.

Could you tell me the details of each of those? Just knowing that the mirrors are different, aren't going to theoretically help me...
