F-111 build thread

[legoman]

Got some stuff done on the plane. a little more mapping, collison mesh, then (some of?) the remaining parts in the cockpit.

Getting closer to completion, release ?
WOW can't wait (but I guess I will have to)
Thanks for the EF-111 test beta I am still having a lot of fun flying that model.

I see you are modelling in Wings3D, (great software) I thought you had made the switch to Blender. ?

Early January release hopefully

It is not that I am switching from wings. My 3dsmax license is running out (couple months) and it is much harder to get now it requires a transcript. so I am switching from wings3d/3dsmax hybrid to wing3d/blender hybrid.

I thought we had semi decided one the next plane. From page 10 Size: TBD There was also a dicussion on pages 5-6. I just kinda wanna make sure most people are cool with this as the next build.

 

[technoid]

Looks good to me.

 

[uncle twist]

Hell yeah, run with it, a very cool plane, a walk around in RF would be very cool as well.....let alone flying it...!!!...multiple camera angles would be a plus, by that I mean, left, right, up, down panning in any combination.

This reminds me of the plane I've been wanting to create I call the junk plane. It was going to have a frame with lots of stuff exposed like the control cables and the parts necessary to route them. I call it the junk plane because the person making it was a retired rancher with tons of parts laying around in an old barn so he decided to make a plane from it. That's why I call it the junk plane it's just a fantasy thing. Would you mind if I worked on it too?

Great work on the Breezy, the fuselage tubing looks awesome and the flat four engine is taking shape nicely.
Looking forward to all the detail you are going to pack into this unusual model.

 

[legoman]

the engine I had chosen the Kolm BX-310

 

[technoid]

Very nice I like the engine and the F-111 is looking great.

Dunno the gear looked a bit different in one picture. But it sure is a beautiful plane.
