There are so many wonderful pages on the Internet related to modeling, that it would take pages and pages of links to list them all. This is especially redundant because the bulk of them have already been captured, and excellently organized by Tony Matteliano on his site at:
Tony Matteliano's Modeling Links
I highly recommend that you visit his site for so many great links. There isn't a better modeling links page on the web.
