Description
The Kart from Mario Kart 64, arguably the best of all of them. Better version HereI know this model looks simple but it's actually one of the most complex models I've ever done. Pipes are a real pain.
On the bright side I learned many new methods for modeling that will allow me to make better models in the future.

For pipes being a pain you sure made them look easy! this model is very nicely done! the only problem I have with this is not the model itself actually... but your composition!!!
You spent an awful lot of time and effort getting this to look as great as it does, why stop there? Just with some ray shadows, 3pt light setup ([link] ) and an infinite bg ([link] ), this would look as wonderful as the modeling is!

Thanks for the tutorials they really helped. I Managed to get it to look pretty good but it took a long time to render. Several hours and even then my computer kept freezing. But eventually I got it done. If you want to see it it's Here Thanks again.

Good eye. I did indeed use the mirror modifyer on the chassis(pipes), first time I really used it. The pipes were really hard cause I wanted all the joints to look realistic, fortunately I found a good tutorial online that allowed me to do that and make the chassis all one big piece.
Thanks for commenting.

well, it's not really something noticeable, I was just wondering if you did 'cause Mirror can save a lot of time and effort
about the tutorial, do you think you could dig up the link? i'm curious to see it, i'm sure it would come in useful
thanks!

Yes it does.
Here's the Link A word of advice I would give that isn't mentioned in the tutorial is about removing doubles. Sometime's it's good but other times it's best to leave the vertices as is to keep the desired effect. I found out that removing doubles sometimes ruins the effect of pipes.
If you have anymore questions feel free to ask me and I'll help out if I can.
