So I am currently making my first car mod, which is going to be a Peugoet 205. I am new to modelling so I decided to do something simple and quite boxy. I have the blueprint for the car and am in the process of modelling it with zmodeller. Here is the blueprint I have and I will be adding more as I progress throughout the mod, all the way to release.

 

Turns out those blueprints were off, although I did find some good ones for a 2008 135i which will be my first mod. I have the blueprints and am getting ready to get the mod started

You don't need to follow the blueprints religiously when modelling something based off them. I usually use them as a reference for the ratio of components, so that the overall proportion of the model is decent when I check against them. I have many photos of the real object/vehicle open at many viewpoints (usually google tabs or saved images) when I model, and I find them quite helpful when also following a blueprint.

It wasnt all because they were a bit off, but more the BMW blueprints are all seperate for front, top, sides etc. so it was a bit easier to change them from .jpg to .bmp. If I am able to get the 1 series done right I will move onto another sports car, maybe Audi TT

blueprint is very important if you want a perfect model ... 

Yeah I have the blueprints, changed from a jpg to a bmp so im waiting for 3DS Max to download so I can start the mod properly

 

I will show parts of the model when I finish them

I can't work on the car much in the next few weeks as I have college and stuff
