Hey all,

This is my second model ever... I tried to learn modelling many months ago, but because of lack of time I had to put it on hold for a while.. I started on a new model yesterday. This time around I'll try to make the Bell 427 helicopter... Keep in mind that I'm new, so I may have done lots of things wrong here :p

* What do you think of the model so far? Can you spot any problem areas? Is there something weird about the windows?

* What should I watch out for when modelling stuff like this? Do you have some tips for modelling in general?

* Now.. there's something weird going on with the front windows of the 427 in pictures I've seen of it... On some pictures the bottom right (on the right window) and the bottom left (on the left window) is pointy... while on some other pictures, it's rounded... In the blueprints the windows are slightly rounded in the forementioned corners... :shrug:

Here are the blueprints I'm using: Top (http://www.webpixels.net/bell_blueprints/top.jpg), Left (http://www.webpixels.net/bell_blueprints/left.jpg), Front (http://www.webpixels.net/bell_blueprints/front.jpg)

Here are some pictures/websites about the 427:

Just that there really isnt much there to critique. Make some signifigant progress and you should get comments. All you have is the nose and the windows...and they look fine, so nobody is gonna bother saying anything. So update with significant changes or ask questions.
