Heinkel P.1080 (Luft46)

I've started a new project over the last couple of weeks.
Here's a summary of the work done so far:




First, I created a low poly model of the plane using the 3-view diagram from Luft46.com as the guide.


After the low-poly model, I let Metaseq produce the wireframes. From there, I used the Knife tool and lots of Boolean Ops to simplify the wireframe and make it Pepakura friendly.


Unfolding and UV-Mapping.




Texturing/ skinning.


Originally, I wanted to do a winter camo pattern with the squiggly lines. But the squiggly lines kinda killed the details of the joints/seams on the plane. So I took them off.







Test build!

I'll post more pictures as I progress with the build.

The scale is 1:48, by the way.

Hi Eric_son

a very nice job both in 3d and test building.

The texturing looks really good especially when you done them right on 3D phase.

Nice project. Reminds me of the canadian CF 100 Canuck.



Let me know if you scale it to 1/33 . I'll love to build it.

It's a Friday! The weekend draws near and I can continue my build.

Isaac -- Sure, I'll do a quick resize to 1:32.

For this model, I only used Pepakura for unrwapping and uv mapping. I'm not using Pepakura to produce the final diagrams. I'm sick and tired of that 1024x1024 texture clamp on Pepakura, and I'm not willing to shell out 100bucks for a plugin that removes that limitation.

This time around, the diagrams are in pure SVG! I can resize as big as I want without loss of texture details.
