+1 and well said!
 
The Dornier looks real good, Craig. Another nice GA twin for my hanger. I'm really looking forward to seeing (and hearing) more news of your work :)
 
I love normal mapping! Its a tricky thing and really hard to get those fine details. Are you using Xnormal or the Nvidia tools in Photoshop? One trick I found was to put a drop shadow on the rivits and then do the normals. It gives the rivits a dimpled look, like the body skin is slightly pulling away. Keep up the good work!
 
It looks amazing Craig I can imagine it will be very popular model as there are many who love GA aircraft. But as you might know GA aircraft aren't really my thing. Therefore I still have hope you will redo the He51 an Dewoitine 510 for FSX one day....

Cheers,
Huub

Yeah its great ! thats exactly how I do rivets as well, although I use Crazy Bump. Heres a couple more shots with some paint added this time to check the mapping is all correct.

Thanks Huub, lol I hear ya.

Which one.... the He51 or the Dewoitine....
 
You got it looking good Craig. From the looks of the paint lines you're using for your mapping, that should do the trick alright!!
