Nubbie making a car

[ironwing]

Hi I'm new to this forum. I just learned how to do textures a year ago and I've been using Maya on and off.
I'm always very impressed with the kind of work i see on this site and my teacher said this is a good place to learn too :)

Been working on this Lancia. I'm really not much of a car person but I always liked how this type of car looked.
based off this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00/Lancia_Stratos_HF_001.JPG

i'm just starting to texture it and i've used a few source images on the tires and the lights but i'll paint my own later i think.

Care to show some wires while you're at it?

As for the initial impression, the smoothing groups don't look too bad but because there's no reflection or anything on it it is hard to say with the crimson red paint.

Edit: Now I see it, nvm.
