Thanks Tom. Sorry to say it, but it's all manually done :P
I'll send you the file if you want to have a look at how its done. It's basically turning a cylinder inside out :P
Only do GMax tutorials too by the way :P
Also,
Something nice and different for a change. Two hours for this one :P I just love doing this. I guess I could add a nice little interior, but this was just for the shape and "feel" of it...

V1 Doodlebug
The last doodlebug to fall in the area of Essex that I lived in during 1944 was reported by the ARP warden as having struck its wingtip on our chimney, rolled over and exploded on the house across the road killing the sole occupant.
Of course the last phase of flight was always silent, apart from windrush, all OK if the engine was running but once it stopped!!!!
Blew all our doors and windows in too and of course we had no chimney pots!!!
Some fifty years later I was given a hearing test and the specialist said that I was deaf to certain frequencies in one ear and had I ever been near a loud noise? He got quite disturbed, he was half my age at the time of this test, when I asked him if 2,000lbs of explosive going off about 40yds away would have done the damage! I did not tell him that I later spent many hours on the small arms ranges OHMS.
Dreadful things - in the true sense of that word.

I had a go adding a texture to the fuselage (basically a screenshot of the mesh) and I got it kinda working, however it seemed a little "short" and didn't fit itself to the body of the glider correctly. I'm a little dumbstuck... probably my crap texturing that was the problem though. I put her in the sim for a quick look, and she looks ok... I am going to make a little cockpit for th visual model. I can pop her in the "finished" pile then
