Cripes .. phewy ... lucky you started build models .. a P-40K tail on a Spitty .... you could get into serious trouble for that

Looks like you're off to a flying start...

[Kelvinr]

There's always something new to do. Developing would have been my next choice of career i'm sure.

Well, hows this for a couple of hours work under the hood of Hercules C-130 and sketchup! I introduce to you The Chrome Herc! No environment mapping yet but the Outerra devs are working on it.



And the original paint job

Ok, last one for the day! Chrome ATR.

You could start a whole new craze in aircraft paint jobs... Nice work, BTW. Are you building these totally from scratch? Or are you able to import parameters from some database & then "massage" those into a 3D shape? If you're building from scratch, how are you getting / inputting the specs?

Actually, not as hard as one thinks. I use Google 3d models people upload and download from within Sketchup, then I modify the colour scheme. I am trying to work on flying models at the moment using JSBSim flight dynamics here: http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/aeromatic2.html
