Very nice to hear! However be careful! It looks like you are about to loose your upper wing and your landing might be a little bit rough :costumes:

Thanks Shawn..I need to email you a little later m8 about something too.:d

I customized the Bird,Huub. I Installed the anti-grav unit and the magnetic clamps from Lionheart's Death Glider.:costumes:

I've modeled the early DII resevior that sits on top of the engine and some of the metal hatches. I'd try to get more done today,but, my friends band called and I've been informed that they need me to substitute on bass guitar tonight for them. With that said, my day is shot, I have 3 sets of material to learn in the next 8 hours..yikes!:isadizzy::ernae:

Lots of Birch, Huub.:ernae:

Now that I've played the show, I'm back to working on this thing. Here's the new exhaust system added.:d

 

[Baron von Blutwurst]

I'm back at the model again folks. Got the Radiator textured and built a new prop for it that is quite a bit more accurate than the previous one I was using.

Hope you dig it.:ernae:

Wunderbar mein Herr! Mike

 

[Bomber_12th]

It looks like you are having a lot of fun creating this, Randy! It definitely looks great!

 

[katonic]

Outstanding! It will look very nice next to the Floh in my hanger! Any thoughts regarding a float equipped W.4?

regards,
Chris

 

[Baron von Blutwurst]

Thanks Mike, John and, Kat. I sure am having fun with this one :d

And "Yes" Kat, I will be doing the float version too.:ernae:

Cheers
Randy

 

[Baron von Blutwurst]

got a little further along folks.:ernae:

 

[Baron von Blutwurst]

I got the aileron wires modeled and animated with the coresponding turnbuckles and started to rough in the "bungee" type suspension so that it can be animated as well for the gear compression. Here's a quickie of where it sits for now.:ernae:

Cheers
Randy

 

[huub vink]

I already love it! :costumes: :ernae:

Thanks guys..this thing is a blast...I'm loving all the compound shapes. Here's a quickie shot since I decided to map the lower wings and access hatches with rough-in textures. It's getting there:ernae:

Cheers
Randy
