3DS Max....we meet again

Started the tedious process of 3d modelling today, its both therapeutic and enraging at the same time. Max has a tendency (with me at any rate) of picking and choosing when it wants to work. But to start I created two planes (like pieces of paper) and placed the images I drew with the topology onto them so they can be by guidelines, then I used the line tool to draw in all the topology lines for the polys. at this point the side profile doesnt really come onto play, its only when all the polys have been drawn out that I'll need it later.
