I've been tinkering around a bit here and there on the Boeing 314 Clipper.
Info about how this request came to be is here:
"One time special request"
and
"Vote for the special request" where the Boeing 314 Clipper requested by kmot came out the victor of the polls!
I've passed a couple e-mails along to kmot as I progressed with the model, and thought I would now share the progress on the forums. (I didn't want anyone to think I dropped the ball or went back on my deal!!hehe)
The first attachment is of the 3-view plans with the 27 fuse cross sections in place. That was time consuming feat in itself. (I was very disappointed in how the plans didn't exactly fit together.....a lot of fudging was needed)
The 3D modeling is certainly no where near finished, but the overall "look" is there. I will not be using the engine nacelles in these attachments....I just made them quickly to visualize the aircraft better.
I started adding some of the windows in the fuse.......I have many left to install yet. (So yes I do know there are several missing!)
I was curious to see how the model would look in G4 so I did a quick export to 3ds then into G4 so I could take it for a flight!! It's going to be fun!!
The model is set at 1/18th scale (with about a 101" w.s.)
