FSX, A Plane in a Week 'Challenge'...

How about a 'hot potato' project where modelers have the design for a week or so to work on then hand it on to the next guy. The design would evolve as it was built each designer posting W.I.P shots. Perhaps it could be a friendly competition of sorts between the GMAX'ers and FSDS'ers to design a fictional racer or something. Might end up fairly unique looking!
 
I have done alot of planes that I never finished.. I call them Gmax sketches.. I'll start a plane, rough shape, put it in FS, and sometimes stop there.. Some dont even make it to FS.

All one has to do is make a shape, paint it with textures, cut out the parts, animate them, export to FSX, tune the airfiles for that plane, install gauges, install soundfile from another plane, done.....


Most of these were done in an evening.. The Spinner was high detail.. done in 2 weeks.. But very high detail.. (For me anyways). The shuttle craft was later textured.
