Great work Pepper! I take it you did this with blender? What technique did you use to create this? It looks like Curve loops to me. Just sort out your texture a bit more and I agree maybe add a subdivision to the wheels and you will have one great model! A nice yafray render would really sell your work!
Best way for adding scratches and such is by using layers in photoshop.
eg. 1st Layer- Base coat, I tend to use textures from places such as http://www.mayang.com/textures/
2nd Layer- The undercoat ("Paint Primer") Just create a plain coloured coat and add some grunginess and small scrated with the sponge or burn tool.
3rd Layer- Paint Layer, this is just the top layer that will be seen the most. Again add some more grunginess and then ur ready to "scratch" the surface.
Now find some good grungy brushes and erase parts of the top layer slowly working down to the next layer. Remember to take your time and get as much detail as you can get into your UV map.
Good Luck,
Blackravent

Try going into your C:Program FilesSteamSteamAppsyoursteamnamecounter-strike or half-life etc. and then delete a file that its name is this or something like this --------->steam_103377_2004_11_5. It worked for me!
Good Luck!

The US are only making a big deal over it because they wish to send a message out to hackers that they will get punished. Load of bullshit tho, its not like he threatened to start nuclear war. He does look and sound like a bit of a shifty bloke though dosnt he! Aliens! pah! Oh and Armstrong didnt land on the moon. :
We got Beef Jerky quite recently, I dont think us Brits liked it that much tho cause it hasnt been back on the shelves for a while now! I did like the stuff when we were over in the US, good stuff, that and the weather seem to be the only thing going for the place!
You call that Food! Jesus! Think of All those E-Numbers and all that jaffa goodness!
Whats stoping us from putting an open source license on content that can be accessed just by being a member? FOR FREE! Stop Pickin On me! You know I get sensitive about these things.
Nice Job! I dont use 3DS but it looks like your softbody needs a few more subdivs! Would Be nice to see it fully rendered! 
YO SHUMERMUCKER! Anyway Job In Hand, Modeling; i dont know how many other peeps can model but I would like to start a Open Source TWHL Model Collection for use in maps, for TWHL members only. I think It would be rather good personaly....
Hey! Leav my deslexea out of this! 
Yes Most likely, for a price... Nah! Im not that stingy! Have you any plans?
Hiya dudes, dudesses and all other folk, I know these kinda posts are intensly annoying, but after a long time wondering around in the desert of what we call the world wide web I have rediscovered myself and TWHL is finally back in my bookmarks. I may call this past time, "My Nomadic Period", but in the words of great forum spammers "Im Back!!" And this time with more skills than ever before, After a great deal of time I have to a certain line, mastered the art of Modeling. This combined with my relatively mediochre mapping skills (compared to most of you guys) I will try to create my own new totally original models for use within TWHL maps. So any ideas...? 
Fix You -Coldplay
Its all created using an open source 3D App called Blender (http://blender.org/). I sort of gave up with softimage as it all cost a lot of money which I cant afford, So I decided to support Open Source which is just a capable in some places even more. Thanks for a critisms.
Yes there are trees. I'm not sure which folder their in but I think theres a nature folder. They where used quite a bit in ravenholm oaks etc.
Try constraining it to big wooden physbox.
HL2 does have func_detail.
Make sure your env_cubemaps are in place. Check what your skybox is as it might be a dark one and or increase the brightness of your env_light.

Hiya guys I'm back from a 2 week surfing trip in newquay and after much consideration I'v decided that it wont be humanly possible for me to finish so as sorry as I am, I have to decided to drop out. Im going on a 2 week drama course in brighton tommorow and I wont be able to complete by the deadline. I will post my map in the vault for you guys to look at, edit, play and do whatever you people do with unfinished maps! So goodbye for another few weeks although I may be round via Internet cafes and such.

You cannot do that if you have a concave polygon. Hammer dosn't like it and will treat it invalid.
Get rid of all the gradients their tacky and hate them.
Ok I know how to solve this but why is it still happening?
Have done it works. Sorry about that I was to quick to panic. Leakfree.org is the best, and thanks rabid.
Ok so I'v Got my competion entry, and i load up hammer to start working on it: I load it, then 2 nasty errors occur:
Out of Memory Loading Solid and:
Error Loading File File C:........., line 10460: error 7
Help please or else I certainly won't be entering into the first ever source compo!

Use the cordon tool. Its like a box round your selection and then when you compile thats all it compiles.
Could we make an option, to sort, the map vault by the game eg. HL2 CS CSS???
WTF!! Do you have to buy another motherboard?

Use a fire input form a ambient_gen on a logic_timer and then on fire- timer- start. Then "on timer"- ambient_gen-play noise. This might not be entirely accurate but its the basic idea that is pretty much down to common sense.
Woh! Those docks look spectacular!
Yeh I did. I think its due to a brush that has negative area values, I'v copied the map and that seems to of sorted the problem.

You gotta cover them in a really sweet maple syrup and they are just scrumdidlyumptious.

What seventh means by "random parts" is that try removing things ie. Brushes, entities etc. in order to source the cause of your problem.
Habboi, Mature.... Do those two words go together? Nah only Yokin Habboi you rule and you were a key member of the forums to get me off my feet!
You are ? thats the sound of a default button noise.
Cool. I'v just made a right prat out myself though! Yeh i'm sure it would be quite easy to do in a database.
