So I've just starting whipping up a vector-profile of a RNZAF T-6. Cockpit took a while to do, but the stuff you don't see, is the stuff that hasn't been done. If you see problems with what's on there now, let me know how to correct it. Will keep you guys posted, and I'll flick you all a high-res when it's all finished!

High Res (3000px X 1500px)
Keep in mind, the 'rocky bottom' is because of the lack of fins, undercarriage, and refinement, specifically under the wing. Will keep working on it.

looks a good start, what program are you using for your drawing?

by **tomkilpatrick** » Wed Feb 26, 2014 4:20 pm

Just dirty old Photoshop. Thanks!

Looks very promising....

Thanks guys! Just a little bit more today, not a lot though - landing gear. Just doing basic outlines first, then I'll get to the details.

This is where I get Blueprints from if you want to give it a shot yourself. This being the primary layout image for my aircraft. So have a crack at it Marty! It's bucketloads of fun!

Another wee update - Stage one complete. The second stage is adding the decals, rivets, panel intersections, and little knobbly bits. Stage three being weathering and Lighting. Whoo!

Good to see you guys are keen on it! All the decals are on, and now I'm weathering it, and working on lighting. What aircraft and livery should I do next? I'm thinking a RNZAF 757-200. Gets me into airliners. Thoughts?

The best way to do it, is do what you like - find something that may really interest you, rather a template - why not a inside information and break down of parts and closeups in each corner of the drawing.

Maybe a new concept design ?

by **tomkilpatrick** » Fri Feb 28, 2014 9:53 am

Oh I see! That sounds rather fun actually. I've been wanting a vector print of a local replica Spitfire here, so I might do that and a little conceptual aircraft. Maybe even do a Cresco or something! Ah, time will tell. I'll post little teaser pictures on here, and you guys have to.guess what it is or something. Then the first one to get it gets a free High-Res 5000px X 2500px image of the aircraft. Sound good Ian?

Sounds like a plan
