Its been a whilesince I started something new so this morning while the girlfriend is out I started on the Avenger. Polycount at the moment is around 2500 but I anticipate this to reach around 5000 by the time the mesh is complete.

I have just got the turret, cockpit, tail, hook and rear undercarridge to finish



I give up with this banner thing as it never seems to work for me. I will now stop wasting mu time.

That is a pretty cool model you got there. I would love to see this thing finished and textured.

Oh, your sig has a typo in it, thought I should point that out.

Cheers mandric, yeah I know my sig has a typo, I was drunk at the time and now I kinda like it. your the first to notice/ tell me in six months.

I have manged to get the bomb bay done and animated as well as the undercarridge, tweeked the cockpit a bit and made a start on the tail. To be honest I am shattered now and gonna have a rest before a big day at work tommorow, will post some pics soon.

Made a start on the turret and just have a few details to add to the cockpit but other than that nearly finished the geometry. Managed to find the source of the jump in polycount, somehow I had managed to clone the fuselage ! Its now down to a more respectable 3200 polys.

Ok finished adding all the geometry, I am quite happy with it now, thought I would post these up before I start the texturing.

Poly count is 5793 so I may do a LOD version as well

Is it just the render or is that extremely smooth?

Oh, well, I'm no modeler, and I won't pretend to be.

(I can't even model a simple ship without screwing something up. I'm still really good at programming. )

Ive got the base colours done and am just beginning to add the decals.



Ive got most of the limbs turned off to make selecting the correct object a bit easier, I really should name stuff properly as I go along instead of doing it afterwards.

Hope you like

No problem Alucard, Many thanks for the comments, This model has been a lot of work.

Stunning aircraft there Frap.

What will you be doing with it? ... selling it or giving it away?
If by chance giving it away, I could desperately use it for my little flight sim project .

Thanks Fraps,

It is a wonderful creation, and I totally understand. I do wish you all the success in the world .... there are many very talented creators on this site.

I am basically making this project for the fun of it ( it has been a great learning experience so far), and it will be freely given away (non commercial), so I am not in a position to sink any money into it. (the pension is not very much in Australia).

Keep up the great creations.

EDIT: Damn your aircraft look great. I have bookmarked your site. Might have to try and scrape up a little money and get 2 of your creations when the opportunity allows. They are just too good.
