I can't believe nobody has commented on this yet. This is very good so far. I downloaded the same pic quite a while ago just because its such a cool design. Nathan Campbell is an awesome concept artist. keep posting updates. I can't wait to see this thing textured!!

This thing got a great potential, the mesh details are awesome :D
If the same work and detailing are put into the textures this will be a masterpiece :thumbsup:

That looks great, I like the detail. Reminds me of something from Metal Gear or otherwise.

This is the concept art I mentioned by Nathan Campbell.
I hope I'm not doing anything wrong by posting it here.

that's amazing!

I wouldn't think so, you are giving credit where credit is due.

Thanks for the comments guys. Really appreciate it :D

Been experimenting with texturing and shading. I'm not very good at this but I'm finding it very interessting indeed. I'm thinking heavy camoflagepaint on this models panels. It is supposed to be moderatly weathered, and I want the scale to be quite big.

This is my first ok result from experimenting. You can notice some seams probably. These are actually intentional, as I will try make a slight bevel on these using a tiny gradient on the bump, making it look like panels, And maybe some small screws along the panel edges.

Please make suggestions. :)

Haven't really gotten anything done on this project the last week but I finally got back on it again. Layed out the texture on the Engine fuselage here and did the basic. I will add details in the texture like white patterns, small labels and perhaps some grime later on. I am totally blank on what to use on the rotorblades. I want your advice on this. I'm wondering what carbon fibre would look like.

Next up is making the hatch mechanism for all the equipment\maintnance\weapons ports on the side there.

That looks so good. I love the whole overall design. I got nothing really to critiq from here but could you post a wire. Keep it up:D

[jjcoolio]

[Davidium]

Discontinued while I work on some low poly stuff for a game.

Hoping to pick this up later.
