Looks good, Nando! This'll be a MASSIVE plane, no matter the scale. Only thing tiny about it are its engines when comparing it to the whole plane!

Looking great Nando, thought I agree it looks a little dark. The new engine shape looks much closer to the real, although without the comparison I probably wouldnt have noticed. Cant wait to see the finished product.

I think the dark color actually looks about right...

Here are some pictures I've taken locally... There are two C-5 squadrons nearby.
   More coming if I can find them. Ryan

There are some other pictures in my Picasa web account... Here's another I shot last year.
 The direct link (and more pictures are there in the album) is here: Picasa Web Albums - Ryan M. Short Ryan

Ryan, thanks for the beautiful photos. Almost always, the Galaxy is taken while on the ground or while flying but portrayed "officially". It is the first time I've seen the giant flying against the background of the land: the size of its shadow is awesome!
I saw in your gallery that You are master using Sketchup and Inkscape. I need Your help for the textures. I use Pepakura designer to unfold the 3D model that I exported from SU, but then I'm not able to export the unfolded surfaces in vectored format that I can manage using Inkscape , so I have to export in bit mapped format, and the result is not scalable. How can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance, Nando

I'm not really that good at either SU or Inkscape at this point. I'm working mainly as a flight instructor here in town...
Inkscape CAN be used to create a vector out of a BMP - but you'd have to look up the process. I'm no expert at that. BTW, here's one more picture I was looking for: Photos: Lockheed C-5A Galaxy (L-500) Aircraft Pictures | Airliners.net My aerial photography boss got that shot one day while we were taking photos of another target. The C-5 just happened to be at the right place and time... Ryan

Ok Ryan, but I think that here most of us aren't professional designers: it's just an hobby.
BTW I completed the Beta 2 build.   I think that now shape, color, texture are Ok and I can pass to another part of the project, but wich? I have to think about the general strategy: the easy part is ended. Nando
