Ultra Stick 1.1m

The amount of detail you have put into this is impressive!

Thanks. Yeah I wanted it to look decent.

I can't think of anything else I want to add so I guess it's time to start mapping it. Mapping is my least favorite part but it is easier on a plane that's been mapped before.

 

[technoid]

I started mapping the Ultra Stick. I haven't got much done, just the wings. But it's a start.

 

[technoid]

Well a bit more mapping, the hstab and vstab. Now it's time to do some house work.

 

[technoid]

Sorry. I always seem to do lots of little updates when I'm mapping, that's because after a while I need a break from it so I stop and post where I'm at. I've finished the 1st pass of mapping on everything but the fuselage, and the landing gear, and tail gear.. But that's still lots of work. But it's moving along nicely none-the-less.

 

[technoid]

I just finished mapping the landing gear and tail gear. All that's left of the first pass of mapping is the fuselage. It's funny I used to do the fuselage first, now I seem to always do it last.

That`s because it`s the easiest to do, it`s all downhill from here.

Oh goodie.. I like ths sound of that!

I finished my other project and released it this morning so now I'm only working on the Ultra Stick.

 

[technoid]

I finished the main mapping. I may do one more tweak to the mapping (vstab looks a little small) but here's a picture of where it is now. I still have the 1x1 mapping to do after I put some stripes on it to align.

UPDATE: I increased the size of the vstab a little bit and also fixed two other places there was some position and sizing issues. So the main mapping is complete and I'll do the 1x1 mapping soon.

 

[technoid]

I went back and tweaked the mapping a little bit in three areas. I made the vstab a little larger. I fixed a position issue in the hstab trailing edge poly. And fixed a sizing issue on the wing trailing edge poly. I also updated my previous post with a new picture of the mapping.

 

[technoid]

I added stripes to do the 1x1 mapping, but I haven't started the 1x1 mapping yet. That's tomorrow.

 

[technoid]

I just finished the 1x1 mapping so now the fun part starts, painting it.

 

[technoid]

I started on the color scheme. Not much done yet but it's a start.

 

[technoid]

The stripes are finished but I still need to add the decals.

 

[technoid]

I've put a lot of time in this plane but I find it hard to keep going. I almost want to shelve it and start a new project. Sometimes I get that way.

 

[BILLFITT]

Can’t blame you if you decide to shelve it for a while. This stuff should be fun. I have learned a lot about the process and appreciate your work on it.

I couldn't resist so I went back and added the decals to the wing.

The trouble is if I do that the project might just sit there and get dusty. I went back and created an AV some wanted for my last project, so that helped me get over the 'I've done Sticks before thing I was feeling'.
