Completed the modeling part. These are 'Ambient Occlusion' renders. I'm quite happy with how they look, except the tail needs some refinement. Next step will be UV layout before working on the texture.

Jun 2012: Started a new project - the 'Night Watchman' - to learn how to model, texture and animate. A lot more work needed!
May 2011 to May 2012: Apache tutorial project from Simply Maya . Took about a year to model, texture, animate, render and composite! Here's the end result:
Mar 2011: Sports Car modeling tutorial from Digital Tutors. This was the first time I used Maya Mental Ray to render, and the results were very satisfying.
Feb 2011: Futuristic bike inspired by the movie TRON. This was a tutorial from 3D Magazine.
Dec 2010: WWI Fokker D7. Tried texturing with my limited knowledge. Not very realistic.

Jun 2010: Jet Bike tutorial from Digital Tutors
May 2010: Learning how to add texture with help from Digital Tutors
Mar 2010: Modeling a Russian WWII T34. Still no texture. Managed to figure out how to do a simple playblast.
Feb 2010: Attempted to model a Star Wars X Wing fighter using blueprints found on the internet. There was no texture/ color as I had not learnt how to do so yet.
Jan 2010 - Learning how to model an organic object (Tutorial from Digital Tutors)
