My first WIP. Criticism? Yes Please!

Thanks, I'll try that.

I was trying just now to export in 3DStudio and it seems like it's making progress, then I get a pop up screen that says "Export host is not valid". Then one that says "Export model failed" - or something like that.

Hrmph. This is getting old...

I thought I'd post a few more pictures of my progress. The entire model is exported into Gmax - except the door handles, not sure how I missed those.

The glass is not present in these pics because I haven't textured anything yet and I wanted to be able to see out for the test flight.

The model is just standing in for one of my other planes currently for FSX viewing purposes.

Nothing is animated either.

She's still oversized and flying backwards. I tried a resizing method that Mathias recommended (thanks again!), but it didn't take. I'll have to retrace my steps and see where it messed up.

The yoke and the front tire need some cleaning up at the mesh level, but I've made more progress in the last 2 hours of work than I had the entire previous week...
