Jaguar XJR-11 Model Done

Was a bit tough without a proper blueprint. There is a lot of eyeballing involved but I think it is going to be okay. Might be a bit "choppy" over the fenders and I think the front radiator duct is a bit high up on the nose. I may look at it, but the poly count is up there now so I am reluctant. I may do an automatic simplify by 90%, then add some to smooth the fenders. I put the wheels and driver in the libary, pretty useful. Will keep this feature in mind for the future.

Jaguar XJR-11 Model Started

Haven't found a proper blueprint, so I am using a pretty generic, (poor) one and going to have to eyeball the differences. This is one one my favourite cars, I have a bit of connection through a friend, with one of the Jaguar drivers and he always loves to see any Jag that I produce. (Don't they say, "Six degrees of separation to anyone on the planet"). The XJR-11 competed in the World Championship races, the XJR-12 was used at Le Mans. There are visual differences in the body but I beleive the engine was the key change.
