 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.

 Ok, here is a first run at rendering this "Big Bird". Shiny out of the box...

 the third one is epic 
- 
 Thanks Bruce. 
 Well the original author called it "Big Bird" so I think I will stick with that.Edit: Thanks Dan. 
- 
 Spud? 
- 
 yeah that third image in the clouds is good, is it finished yet? 
- 
 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? 
- 
 eric 
 that really looks good.

 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.
