So thereA’s been a time where I was a bit out it. Kind of a creative meltdown.
Thought IA’d start up the olA’ brain farts nice A‘n easy with a simple SketchUp design IA’d come up with after reading NausicA?a and playing some Crimson Skies.
This is supposed to become a single-seater jetfighter. Think Crimson Skies set in the fifties. First step is to create the hull & tail boom to get a feel for the proportions. IA’m a little twitchy, havenA’t touched SU for almost a year now.:o
First image is just to make the thread look more interesting from the outside

That's a good start and looks interesting. Hope to see more
Now, it's giving me a headache. I'll fix it later.
Completely forgot time while doing the cockpit... whoops. Decided to do the instruments with textures iso modelling all the little dials & switches and things.
Any comments or critiques are welcome, folks!

Anyhoo, it will have shiny aluminium plating, although Sketchup doesn't do shiny. It'll be a nice model to try rendering it in the VRay for Sketchup I just got a hold of...
The odd quadracycle configuration is intentional for reasons explained only when the whole thingAâs finished.
I figure IAâm about half way with the engine. After that itAâs finishing the canopy, creating some more AâoptionalAâ parts (gun pods & RATO boosters), a couple of different liveries and I want to create a hangar maintenance scene. That ough to keep me busy for some time to come
I also included a simple mock up of the plane in flight to get an idea of how it'd look up in the blue.
i can`t wait to see the end product of
this project.
Sooooooo, here the first end result of my little Dutch (alternate history) fighter! Paintscheme of the aircraft are true to the Royal Dutch Airforce markings at that time.
There's still a hangar maintenance scene in the making, I'll show that later.
Enjoy!
P.S. - Will there be any flying battleships?
