Modeling tutorials
In view of the list of stickies getting longer as more people contribute to this forum, I think the best thing to do is to minimise tutorial stickies and consolidate them into links instead.

RE: Modeling tutorials
Updated, added the video tutorials made recently.

I'd sooner spend my own money helping new modellers than to spend at an undeserving shop.
