Best regards.

[Krzychu74]

Hello!
Today: pilot`s cabin, gun, Pitot tube and trusses of a horizontal stabilizer (is it a correct name in English?: trusses of a horizontal stabilizer).

Best regards.
Krzychu74

[Krzychu74]

Hello!
And this is finish of the design in 3D. Now I`ll be unroll of parts and test gluing, but... I think that isn`t a sense farther to show, because I see that nobody is already interested in it. I had high hopes to your opinions, remarks and suggestions (particularly from designers more experienced than I). I asked you for help in the correct name in English and... nothing. :(
I wanted to show you step by step a test model is rising. Ok, I`ll show you when this model will be ready.
See you at one time.

Best regards.

One thing i would really appreciate is telling how you texture the colors and stuff. I always have a tough time figuring it out.... making it line up and whatnot.
Thanks

Hello!
Chris: I`ll try make a little tutorial how I do textures in models. A little patience. :)

Parts are more and more (I like very much the background of renders which gave Nurung in his report (blue and white), and I also tried to do but with in a different color. ;) )

Best regards.
