Blackhearted,

Very nice work.

"an object modeled in NURBS is about as useful as a kickstand on a submarine"

Not if you are going to manufacture it.. !

"there are TONNES of free VW meshes to be found on the net"

Maybe so but for every free model you find on the net there is ten(10) that sells for $50 and up...like this, http://www.the3dstudio.com/product_search.aspx?id_category_0=1&search=Volkswagen&id_affiliate=242147

Today in 2012 perfect mesh is more important then ever. The market is insatiable for 3d models if they are properly done.
