Modelling the Eagle: take 1

To begin modelling i created a box shape in 3D Max, and started to extrude the middle bits to shape it into an eagle, creating some wings and elongating the body. I used an image from the web to refer to its shape and from there I converted the shape into an editable poly and selecting the edge tool I shaped the bird. This method took some time as I had to keep refering back to the eagle image to make it look realistic. As you can see from the image below I have the basic frame of an eagle and need to carry on tweeking it to look more realistic.
