for the moment i can only work on CGI end of things. I have the Seawolf ready for test build but have to wait. so not wanting to sit idle, i started working on this.

that will make a great looking ship.. I noticed some artists drawings of that a few months ago and thought it would make a super paper model. I send them to you in case you have not found them.

i probably have them i scoured high and low for images of this ship.

been adding details here and there. threw on some color to break the monotony of staring at white forms for hours.

also added a MQ8 Firescout. think im going to finish up the fire scout. any one feel like testing the scout when i get it done? it will be 4.2 cm at the rotor.

it will look good when it is ready, I love the way the bow is, gives it a nice line. Really sleek in the drawings I have seen of it.

Every time I see what you're up to (and there seems to be a new project every time I look!) I can remember back to the times when all you seemed to do was build other people's models and quite well too...

You've come such a long way in such a short time as a designer and you are pumping out some amazing stuff, this just being one more example to add to an ever growing list...

Three thumbs up... keep up the good work!

thanks jaffro! a little story. i tought myself 3d modeling years ago. after learning that i just had no idea what to do with it. so i quit for a couple of years. then i found paper modeling. all the models i built gave me a basic understanding of how things work. watching other design threads i realized i had found an outlet. ive had a lot of help along the way. and still have a way to go to get to the level of barry,kooklik,and ken. when i get settled into my new house i plan on getting back to some builds.

i started hashing out the SH-60. i still have a problem figureing the level of detail to translate to paper.
