Don't know if it's worth the hassle, but if you´re not going to model it yourself ...

I have no idea. But I´m wondering if those are P-40 plans

Somehow I missed this. But it doesn´t change the fact that I enjoy every look of it. Plus I´ve learned something new today

Please see this topic: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=37621&p=332148&hilit=render+choice#p332148

Indeed,
Great stuff. Can´t wait to see it textured & rendered.

Hi,
TBH, I don´t use this, just got it bookmarked, but maybe you might find it useful: http://vterrain.org/Plants/misc.html

Like the review says - this one looks exactly like what it's supposed to be.

Nice work, Rich.
How heavy was the model after the polygon cruncher treatment?

What? Jack Nicholson?
Excellent work, unigami

I send him a PM before I knew about his cancer treatment, but he never replied.
A gesture of encouragement is the least we can do. I am sure no one would object . Please do so, Gaieus.

I may be mistaken, but it looks like dolphus turned 69 today.

Then I stumbled upon this cr@p: http://blog.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=6147172660&topic=47619&post=723467#topic_top
That is him, right? Unfortunately, it doesn´t seem to be any recent news.

I would really like to think that everything is OK. My thoughts and prayers are with him though.

Well, if a poll about this pops out, you´ll know for sure.

From one of his previous posts:

Ive learned basics in 1 day(Im a good learner , I can show you my Iq license if you want:) )

I think he´s very well aware of that polyline stuff. Somehow I am under impression that he´s doing this on purpose, asking the same questions all over again. Yet hardly any explanation is good enough.

@unigami said:

Hard to pick which one is best!

Indeed. Imagine how hard it would be if he had posted more than a few

It looks a bit rough around the edges.

Never mind that fortress, Marian, you have some really nice looking car here
Was it rendered with Composer?

It´s about as good as it gets
And I don´t think that the slow progress is a bad thing if this is the result.
Now could you please make a cr@ppy model so we can criticize it?

Are you working on Spitfire?

It´s the rod antenna mast.
