Kodiak update

Lionheart

SOH-CM-2014
Hey guys,

For the ones that are into the Kodiak aircraft and have been waiting for the updates, I thought I would give you a heads up on what all has been happening to the girl since she was torn apart..

She has a new cabin, new panel, new seats, refinement on the fuselage, all new graphics on most all of the bird (or at least will be, wings are still the same), new struts, etc, etc.

Slowly though, she is coming to shape! (yayyyy). I never dreamt it would take this long.

Included is a screenshot of the brand new, redone cabin which features smooth window openings, thanks to the teachings of famed polygon guru Gerard (Kweetnix). Cant thank him enough.


Cheers,

Bill
 
Nice work Bill. I love the detail in the pilot's door skin. It makes me want to reach out and touch it....lol.
 
Love the smoothing of the window openings, looking great Bill! :applause::applause::applause:
 
Looks great Bill....hope you don't suffocate the pilot with the engine exhaust gases entering the cockpit:costumes:

LOL....! (imagines the screen slowly getting tunnel vision, then fading to black... 'ding!' MS window; 'Your pilot has just passed out from exhaust fumes' ).

The new Kodiaks are usually shown with their doors fully hinged forward. Many pictures of them are like this, so I figured I would do the same on the model.
 
Very nice Bill, will be picking this up as soon as possible!
 
Bill you never cease to amaze me. Every product is better than the last and I can't think of any of your last products that I didn't absolutely love. Outstanding my friend!:applause::applause::applause:
