So far the body is comeing along failry well and its something like 91 points for all tuts currently thats over 20 hours of pure modeling bliss.

As for when its going to be finished thats not really known, because Philip does a tutorial or two then adds them to the list. So its hard to estimate a timeline/point cost for its completition.

As for cost, just go out and buy 20 hours of dvd training it will only cost you anywhere from 500$usd-1,200$usd. The cost here is on average 50%-90% less than other video training.

The Quality of the tutorials here are very complete. I dont know of a video tutorial that takes you through an entire modeling process such as the stratocaster which is complete and the mclaren which is comeing along nicely. Haveing someone tell you what to do with a tool on a training dvd then show you a couple quick examples is one thing. Watching someone skillfully use the tools to create highely detailed models while he teaches you is Priceless.

If you have questions just shoot away. Please feel free to try some of the free tutorials here. The Peppers, Ocean scene, are fun and complete free tutorials. The Strat and Mclaren are a total blast to go through.

If I had to guess the Whole Mclaren tutorial is going to be quite a ways over 100 points. Thats for the whole interrior modeling as well as the exterior modeling. The Exterior is comeing along very nicely and at 91 points A good portion of the exterior is done already.

I see well I have already spent 150 and I was only hoping to spend 200 at the most do you think that would cover it. And I already purchased the points cause I new you vids here were good.

I am not makeing the tutorials but I can only kinda guess here. Philip would know better than me because he is makeing the tutorials. I would guess yes, the body is comeing along very nicely and looks like its nearing completion at least for the body. Tires are easy cause you only have to make one.

Once the body and tires are done then Philip is going to do some textureing with renders. Then I do beleave the interrior is going to be modeled and textured as well just have to check with Philip, because he will know a lot more than me for sure. He might even be able to give a really rough estimate on how many more parts for the body. Note I said rough estimate because Philip has stated before it can be hard to estimate how many parts are needed to complete a project especially something as complex as the Mclaren.

Yes just click on his name and send him a pm. He frequents these boards so nearly 99% chance he will read this.
