This is a quick and dirty mig-21 I whipped up. One of these days when my 3D skills get better Im going to take my time and make something serious, but for now I just keep popping stuff like this out. I did use 3-view drawings for reference this time instead of just making stuff up on how I think it would look. I did the modeling in Wings3D and painted it in Nendo.

you'll get better. But hey, so far it's alot better than that other guy who used to post pseudo rendered models in this forum. Just keep it up!

Looks OK for a quick and dirty. How many hours does it take to get that far Mixtec?

hammy- Thanks, appreciate the encouragement.

Gray- This couldnt have taken me more than a couple of hours working off and on. The shape of the plane is very forgiving of bad edge placement, so it came together really fast. It only took me about 5 minutes to paint it because I used the paint tool in Nendo, the only 3D app I know of that has a 3D paint tool.

A couple of hours of work and 5 minutes to paint, I'm impressed. 3D opens up so many new options. Some of the 3D work around is unbelievable. I don't think I would have the patience for doing it though. Hope you post more as you complete it Mixtec.
