        I like this lovely model. It is wonderful.
        It is [kawaii-lovely/wonderful-suteki] in Japanese.

          Thanks Jeff. All modeling is SketchUp and the output is V-ray with no textures, a line overlay and an infinite plane for the ground.

          Coen, I plan on posting the reference image once I finish.

          Thanks again all for the comments.

              Heh, I was thing that the model had the semlance of T-6, F6F or F8F aircraft. Pretty neat, very nice work with the modeling! Actually, it looks like there's a little Gee Bee racer mixed in there too...

                      Thanks.

                      I don't think I will make any propellers. The author of the source image wrote the following:

                      However I am adding missiles...? We'll see. I may just make some landing gear as well. Now on to the rivets 😲

                                  I added the rivets tonight. They were easier than I anticipated. What I found really interesting was viewing the rivets while hiding the rest of the model. I have added some shots for you to see. Pretty cool actually. My wife said it looked like The Invisible Man's airplane πŸ˜„

                                        Dear Eric,

                                        Perhaps you could take some of the trickier modelled parts and create a few 'how-to-do' tutorials. Perhaps some of the engine components?

                                        Kind regards,
                                        Bob

                                          Eric, you freak!!

                                          business slow? as the detail is getting insane...but amazing.
                                          If I may Inquire, whats the poly count and file size at this point?

                                          This is going to look friggin amazing, this needs a great render and even an Animation (offering to do an animation if you willing to loan the final model out for a test flight)

                                          http://www.solos-art.com

                                          If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

                                            I just may do that. I am at work now so I don't have the model, it is at home. Will check the poly and file size later.

                                            I only hope I can do the model justice with a nice rendering and not make it look cheesy. Still learning.

                                            And yes business is slow but I have done all this at home on my time, not at the office. I reserve office play time for stupid visual puns πŸ˜†
