LTDigital Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hi, Everyone, This is my first serious attempt at modeling something other than a deck of playing cards. Any suggestions are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSpleen Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Looks great to me! Is this going to get animated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTDigital Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks. Yes, I'm going to try to model Albert Ball, whose plane this was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 5, 2011 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 5, 2011 that looks nice! What do the white marks on the struts signify? The wings look a bit flattish. Are they really that thin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTDigital Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 I think they're simply metal supports. I also think they're a bit flat. I'll probably change the image to show corroded metal (like the machine gun) to make it look less conspicuous. Also, anyone have suggestions for weathering? Is it done in the program or do I need to get AM Paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted December 6, 2011 Admin Share Posted December 6, 2011 Looking very good. I can almost hear the engine running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakerupert Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 A:M used to have a weatheringfunction once upon a time, when I started, 8.5 it was a decade ago, that was dropped sometime, so I guess A:M paint would be the best way to go. Nice plane. Did you use blueprints as rotoscopes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTDigital Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Yes, I found some blueprints, but they were very cluttered. I only used those for the wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakerupert Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Yes, I found some blueprints, but they were very cluttered. I only used those for the wings. theres some good blueprint and also sideview image of a N 17 there.... you are very close, some minor details, seems your nose is slightly too round for instance. ehhr...I mean your planes nose naturally.
