Hey guys. THis week we are starting a new segment, and our last, in my Graphics class at school. Its one that will most likely take up all the rest of the days at school. 16 of them to be exact. Here is what we have to do.

"Students will create a 3D model in Google Sketchup. This model can be a house, plane, building, or anything else that you want."

So I was thinking, to go along with my car-themed work this whole semester, I thought I might do, you guessed it, a Nissan Skyline!

Now I think my school should allow The-Blueprints.com, so I'll link it to everyone. I want to pay tribute to a number of great things in automotive history in this class, one being Lancia's Rally days, to the Stig. Now how about the mighty R34 V-Spec II, my favorite car ever.

My teacher will never teach us how to use reference images to work in Sketchup, and I don't really know how. I can on 3DS Max, just not on here. Thats where hopefully you guys come in. I do know how to set up the images, so no need to help me on that. But if you guys could tell me how to actually model the car, that would be great. It would be nice to link me to some good tutorials on the internet as well. Thanks in advance!
