Modeling; Phase 1 of many.

As I had all the blue print views sorted out I could delve straight into the modeling phase.

As you can see here, I decided to start by modeling the largest structures to give some shape to the truck as quickly as possible. This allowed me to get the basic curvature a scale of the truck from an early stage.

I then decided to move on to modeling the front of the cab as this was the clearest section on the blueprints model from and it kept me motivated by seeing how cool it was starting to look =D.

There are a few sections that I might need to break apart as my edge loops seem to be bunching up in parts and are too spread apart in others. I will quickly be able to see these errors by adding a highly specular material to my model. I will do this at various stages of the modeling process as a simple and fast quality control.
