You're doing great UT!

 

[uncle twist]

Thanks FE, believe it or not, I know nothing about modeling. I watched a couple of tutes, about 10 mins. worth, and got some basics, so I figured what the heck, I`ll try this for about an hour or two. Well, you can see I`ve done more than a couple of hours worth..

We all have to start at the beginning. Much of the terminology was new to me when I started. And with much thanks to all the experts here on the forum, I've learned a lot. Still rate myself in the newbie class, but maybe closer to a senior newbie after a doing this for about a year.

Addiction? You bet!!!!

Am very glad to see you "taking the plunge" UT! Combined with your excellent CS skills, am looking forward to what you'll be bringing to the swaps.

 

[uncle twist]

Hopefully this will see the swaps one day.....we`ll see

A LITTLE more progress

Very nice UT. Is it fun or frustrating?

 

[uncle twist]

At this point, a little bit of both, however, I`d have to say more fun. Learning is always a good thing. I did`nt turn on a computer until my wife purchased RF for me. (approx. 2008). Did I say old school hard headed SOB

UT, I want to mention something. Under the file menu, there's a save incremental option. When learning, I recommend using this often. Each time you save this way, it'll add another file in your folder. This is good in case you mess up your fuselage for example to the point of no repair. Simply go back to the previous file and export/import the old into your current file. That way all is not lost.

Serious 2008? My 1st PC was a TRS-80 that I got in 1980.

Well, he's more of a veteran than I am. Christmas 2009 for me.

I'm 46 actually UT

Well, my bad, my first guess was going to be 45/50, then I did a little math, guess it was wrong, oh well.. all in fun. Hope to put a new CS on your P-38, if my PZL-P1 isn`t preoccupying me..

 

[uncle twist]

Some progress shots. The wing was a learning experience, can`t wait to do nose area. That`ll be tricky for a rookie like me. Hopefully I can get the mental vision

 

[abaser]

UT, do you know how to cut down the middle and mirror so you only have to model one side? If not, I'll explain. It's really easy and makes things go much smoother.
