So, I'm currently a college student for video game design (as a modeler) and I'm looking to boost my portfolio. The school projects I've done so far are nothing spectacular so I'm looking to boost it outside of school.
On that note, there's a model of a car I have been wanting to make. I've seen this car (1970 Dodge Charger) in movies, TV shows and real life. However, I have not modeled a car yet and I'm unsure on where or how to start. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. My modeling skills itself still needs some work, but I'm hopeful that doing more models will help adjust that.
