ok this is after i mirrored the side to the opposite side now the thing im not get is what points do i weld. i welded all the spline endpoints to the center spline points that run through the entire model.is this wrong? should i weld the splines not to center but to the same spline but on the mirrored side? i dont know if anyone knows what im talking about but if you do please let me know thanks all

it would be wise to start patching without the splines mirrored, that way you would only have to model half of the car

and any area you want to patch must be surrounded by 3 or 4 splines that are welded at the corners of this area...

concerning the lack of credit card; read the FAQ; you can also buy points by sending a cheque... please contact Kevin for details.

oh and you might want to have a look at our challenges; you can win points there, too.
