                  Very cool! The only thing missing is the "prop disk"...

                      I love these models. Could you explain a little on how you modeled the body and the wings, thats what I am stumped on from looking at the wireframes. Great job, thanks!

                        Thanks. Those shapes were simple really. Just a cylinder for the body, using the scale tool on segments about the cylinder. And for the wings I made a profile and pushed the shape, scaled one side, pushed again, scaled or rotated...

                        Hope this helps.

                          OK, that makes sense, I guess I was confused from the amount of triangles in the wireframes. I thought you used the sandbox tool. I have never used the sandbox tool to create that clean of shapes, only landscape. Thanks for the reply.

                                Thanks Bruce.
                                Well the original author called it "Big Bird" so I think I will stick with that.

                                Edit: Thanks Dan.

                                      No, this was just a first try. I may even do multiple color schemes and what not.

                                        A sharks teeth WW2 paint scheme would look pretty good you up for that?

                                            Big Bird flies!

                                            I did a few short animations, compiled it quickly with basic 'ol Windows movie maker, slapped on an audio track and we have the Big Bird music video.

                                            If I had more time I'd have done better clean up and editing.

                                            Sit back, crank up the sound (earphones would be best) and see Erics baby go.
