    It's a been a while since posting here and I've been in the mood to model cars again, so I decided to choose a car I can just dedicate myself to that hasn't been done a million times before. It's the Buick Riviera. One of my favorite Malaise era cars. I was surprised to find out this car was front wheel drive. Anyways, I will document my progress here, and at the end I'll have a model perfect for beam.ng once it's done.

    Not much today, just body work refinements. Tomorrow I will work on reducing those polys and then I'm going to cut the panels out.

    Can you make a 4 door version? Or it's 4 door originally?

    This guy makes everything the real deal and doesn't steal from other cars.
