Cheers for the feedback all. Robdob, I am just following a tutorial step by step (the Gryphon Aviation one as recommended by good old Paul Foster) so technically anyone can do it with a copy of GMAX, a lot of patience and an understanding wife! :lol: :lol:

It's pretty good. There are parts you'll have to research further or get help on (like I'm doing with Skippy's help on the FDEs side). It's not bad for modelling though. It also really helped that his subject was an a/c not that dissimilar to mine. With Skippy's direction, I finally got my head around the basics of FDE editing last night and got the Sea Hawk to sit on all three legs properly! One bug down, six million left to go ;-)

Patience is definitely the watchword here.

Cheers mate, it's coming along nicely at the moment. I finished the canopy last night and am adding various details and ironing out some smoothing issues on the wing. I hope to start texturing fairly soon, but you know how best laid plans go. :roll:

Here are a few shots of how she's coming along...still got a long way to go, but most of the tex mapping is done, now allowing me to cut out the u/c bays and add other details. She is still not stitched up either before anyone asks, so the overall smoothing will appear a lot better shortly. Currently I am working on textures, but haven't got very far.

Still, she flies herself, as you can see! :lol: :lol:
