[WIP] B-17 Flying Fortress

Explosive American · Post by **Explosive American** » Sat Sep 23, 2006 12:58 am

My second serious venture into the 3D Modeling world. I'm making use of Image Plane this time around, and it's helping me greatly. The images aren't one hundred percent accurate in terms of small details, so I'm using them for a general shape, since they are graphs of sorts. Flat, with the least possibility for getting a disproportionate model. I'm using them in conjunction with several referance pictures I'm using to give me an idea of the finter details.

Pics:

This is pictures... Where was it?

It looks good, but I'll wait 'till I see it with wings.

uh, where are you getting these pictures to use? All of the pictures I have seen of your models are very detailed plans. For example, the abrams tank.

What modelling program is this? I'm still playing around with SketchUp.

B-17 is the Flying Fortress

B-52 is the Stratofortress

Know your planes before you try to name them

I don't think he is. All you need is google to find that out. But maybe...

silly explosive -_- know your ww2 facts

that looks pretty good so far, i'd like to see the inside modeled too though :p

Unnecessary. Well, maybe a little bit. Might want a glass shader on the cockpit with a view inside.
