Working on my first “actual” modeling project inside Houdini. Not the most complex or sexiest project, but I learned a lot and thought it might be valuable for others. Rather than just show the finished model, I chose to record the entire process realtime as I worked, then sped it up 10X. Yeah I know, this is a long video that drags on, but hey, skip around if you like.

This is Part 1, which is the modeling. Part 2 will be shading, lighting, and rendering. Hopefully I'll get to that in a couple of weeks.
If you're interested, the scene file is attached.
