Hey there,

That looks like a good start. There are a couple of things so far about the plane itself that look kind of odd. For example, the propeller blades do not seem to be angled evenly. I don't have a huge knowledge of air planes, but I think that each of those prop blades should be arrayed at around 120 degrees each. In my attached image, what I did was made one prop blade sticking straight out of the top of the rotating portion of the prop. Then I moved the pivot for that prop blade to the center of the rotating piece. Then used the Array tool (Shift + Ctrl + A). You can see the settings I used in the screen. Now you have a perfectly spaced angle between each blade.

Sorry for the lack of correct terms, don't know the proper terms for airplanes.

Also, make sure you have plenty of photo reference of the object you're working on. If you can't find very good reference, I suggest using what you have, and sketching out a large image of it. Good reference helps so much when it comes to modeling.


Keep it up though! You're off to a good start! Hope I could be of some help, if you have any questions, feel free to PM me, I'd be happy to try to answer any questions you might have.

Gaan dit goed daar in kaapstad? heh.

It looks good except for the uneven spaces, as mentioned.

The helicopter looks much nicer though, nice work.

Goed gedoen!
