Craig and Matt's Sopwith Pup Project

Had to share with you these screenshots Craig sent of the Pup... for the first time its out of its pajama suit of temporary textures... but please bare in mind what you see is still WIP. The metal for example will be looking different (I've already worked out a way of doing that which looks real good)... more well metal like .

Craig did such a lovely job of the leather texturing of the cockpit combing I felt it should have 3D stitching and so over the weekend I made some and as you see Craig has already added it. What a job that was to do but I think it was worth it.

Details, when scaled proportionately add a lot of depth.
It's nice to see where the realism is being taken. :medals:
 
Yep, looks pretty much the same as the one I was photographing yesterday!

Very nice work indeed :salute:
 
Is that the shuttleworth one? Its a beauty. It didn't fly at the flying evening I went to not so long ago because it was too windy which was a shame. There is a difference in the shape of the side metal with our model and what you see above, but we've modelled it as contemporary photos show it. What you see in pic above may be a result of its conversion from a Sopwith Dove. Gotta love that original 80Hp Le Rhone engine.

It is, yep. They put on a great show yesterday, and a few visitors added to the excellence. I'll be posting a thread soon hopefully, with all the decent shots (same as I did for the Duxford show). If you see anything you like, or might want for reference for future builds, just let me know :)
 
It's a bit difficult to tell the differences from the model to the real thing. Real nice piece of work!
 
Looks incredible! I've got the Camel and I love it, so I am eagerly anticipating this one! When are you looking at this being available?
 
Look forward to seeing the other pictures you took Private Custard

Release... sorry to say it wont be in a few weeks or anything like that. There still a lot to do, however we will keep you posted on progress here. This project is getting a lot of TLC from me and Craig and we want it to be something special.
