Nice design!

@dave r said: Patience. The author has always updated it in the past. I'm sure it'll get updated soon. yes, version 12 which works until 10 april 2012 was released. http://www.tensile-structures.de/sb_software.html and taking system time back worked for me for last 2 days.

Looks cool Dolphus, I thought of helicopters from the firs moment i saw these cars.The Mark II reminds me a little of my Airdrop car, that red thingy that looks like a cute bug .

Aww... how cute... I like the colour because it makes it look even cuter...

Its hard to sya without having the model, but im guessing the wing details arent showing because te geometry isnt pronounced enough. If you make the gaps between the geometry a bit bigger that should accentuate it a bit, although youve got to be careful not to over do it.

Bingo !!!! thanx i downloaded the installer - up and running thank you very much

as always you are a star thanx

Itd be cool if you could find a better background image, the one youve got at the moment really doesnt do the model justice.

This render is fantastic!

Thanx jim i found it (Red face )

Yes, that's what I also meant. Most of the (modelling) ruby plugins "only" automate ways SU can do and you could also do by hand - although admittedly very slowly and painstakingly. There's nothing wrong in using plugins of course, I was just going to say that in order to fully "master" SU, you have to be able to do most things by hand also and this way understand how things (and even plugins) work. Then of course there is definitely a kind of "shortage" in good tutorial examples about using ruby scripts and good demonstrations about how different plugins help you with speeding up modelling would really be cool.

Hang in there with Kerkythea. The learning curve is steep. I am getting there at a snail's pace and still cheat a lot with PhotoShop but it is a rewarding program to work with. --Roger
