That looks super, very cool.

Front dash and wireframe.

Very nice.

No wasted edges as far as I can see. Very clean Abaser. Where do you find the time? Work, family, sleep, and modeling? Bravo

 

[abaser]

Thanks. Let’s just say I’ve adapted to getting around 5 hours of sleep a night. Once or twice a week I’ll try to get a full nights sleep, but honestly I feel it’s overrated.

 

[uncle twist]

HA..!!!...Nothing you do is overrated Andy, you do fantastic work, if I had half the patience for modeling ALL the modelers here have, I`d be modeling, keep up the great work. Notice I said ALL, we`ve finally got a great group of modelers back here in RF on the forums doing there thing, just like the old days. I hope it keeps up... ? ?

 

[technoid]

I think he meant getting a full nights sleep is overrated.

 

[Boof69]

Yes he did and he's right. I don't get much and I seem no worse for wear.

Yep, you`re probably right about that Tech., I was thinking about it in a different way, but hey, my comment still applies regardless. Heck, I even included you in it.... ?

 

[abaser]

Yup, sleep is overrated. I’d love to see my brain on a good nights sleep in Max though. I’m usually propping my eyelids open by the time I sit down to model. But, it’s all worth it in the end.

looks excellent i will be keeping a look out for this one Andy

 

[abaser]

It's all in the details on this one. Still managed to stay under the 10,000 poly mark, but I'll blow past that real soon. Tonight I started adding the fuselage formers in the tail until that got to be annoying. Then I worked on the fuel tank and fuel line before starting to cut out the top section of carbon fiber. Threw a rough set of gauges on the rear instrument panel for looks, and a few other fine tuning adjustments here and there. I think the next time I work on it, I'll probably try to get the exterior roughed in. I'll add the vertical stab/rudder first, cut in the control surfaces, then start on the landing gear. Once that's done, it's all detail work from there, and I've got a lot of that planned for this one.

 

[technoid]

Super Slick !

Excellent looking and progress Andy. Ya know, I don`t know what made me think of it, BUT, this would be a nice plane to stash an Easter Egg in. Willsonman put one in his "Spirit of St. Louis" model, it`s pretty hard to find, but it`s there, I`ve seen it. It`s also a pretty cool fact, that very few know/knew about, I never knew about it until I read his description of the model, which made me look for it, Here`s a link to it if anyone wants to try and find it, I will tell you it`s in the interior of the plane.....OR, just maybe.. the inside of a particular part of the plane.

Bravo sir! Looks beautiful ??

Awesome detail, looks fantastic, I like the fuselage formers I hope we can see them all down into the dark tail end of the fuselage, I wonder if a ~cs_bulb would shine some light on all your incredible work.

I’ve got an idea I’m going to try first. It should work ok. If not, the CS_bulb might be another solution.

 

[Rc51dude]

This is looking incredible!!

 

[abaser]

Anybody got any tips on making this guy? My first attempt didn’t go so well. Planes I can do, people, not so much. ?‍

Can you not search for a 3d print file? or similar.
