      Dolf,

      This looks nice so far. I just wonder about the seam running through the middle of the aircraft. It looks a bit odd. Also, a small tip is to export images around 6000 pixels then downsize them in your app of choice. This will help your linework to soften up and look far more crisp. Can we see the wires (hidden line mode)?

      Love the fact that some HATE my avatar.....

        Nice work, Dolphus! So you are really a man of wide interest - from sea to sky.
        Please keep the updates coming.
        BTW it looks like Cessna T 37?

                Cool plane, Dolf. Will you put texture/materials on it?

                Have a great one!

                  Hi dolf,

                  great stuff so far! I've also been modeling aircraft for a while now, here's a thread I posted a while back with some of my airplanes: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=26709

                    Numbthumb thanks for your encouraging comment
                    ken28875 I always try to make my models as accurate and "real life" as possible, with aircraft I am fond of trying to duplicate a particular plane flown by a named pilot, not always possible ...but i try so to answer your question as much detail. markings etc as possible
                    Ultimatez 32 I had a look at your thread your models look cool thanks for sharing

                        Well, from what I have seen so far, Dolphus I am expecting nothing less from you this time.

                        I was wondering how dcauldwell´s Sopwith Pup was coming along? 😉

                          What are all the antennae on the elevators? Looks like a spy plane used to do radio intercepts.
