'Grey Falcon' Surveillance vehicle


#21

Cool I actually like all the camo variations you posted! Yeah those won’t make much sense for border patrol but maybe once everything is done you have room for a military version :slight_smile:
What would be cool and what I haven;t seen too often yet is the dark grey/blue russian camo pattern, I wonder how that one looks here. Like this one:

Looking forward to see the progress!

Cheers

@ Utopia780: Thanks! I like the develop a little story around this bird, so i came up with this border patrol :slight_smile:

@ Andre: Thanks man! Yeah that pattern looks awesome! maybe I will do that just for fun :wink:

Progress is slow because I have little time to work on this bird, but yesterday I finished the nose gear box:

ooooooooooooooooooh!! That’s looking really good! :bounce:


#24

Thanks Utopia780!

Currently working on the rear gear. It’s a giant puzzle to fit everything in the fuselage when retracted :wink: updates soon


#25

Here is an update regarding the rear gear. It’s almost final accept for some parts which are still rough blocking. For now the retraction is going good and it almost fits within the gear storage:-)


#26

Very nice progress and clean mesh. I like the triangle carvings on the foot area!

Cheers
Andre

Wonderful work Jonathan!
Beautiful model and mesh.

Here is a small update of the rear landing gear. I like to do lots of detail, so that kept me busy the last few days :slight_smile:

Really nice work there! You seems to love to model small details as I do with my Apache :slight_smile:
Are you going to do animations on it?
What software do you use?

Thanks Iceman! i love small details:) i use maya for modeling and zbrush for experimenting for details like panel work for example, works great! Much faster than modeling in maya and then find out the panel work isn’t what you are looking for :wink:

 That being said, it has been a while since i posted an update on the grey falcon. Now it is marked; Grey Falcon mark II. I changed a lot especially the tail section and panel work, new main engine design and some more detail along the fuselage of the bird.
 
 comments & critics are more than welcome! 

The engines are working differently than last time, now the are more like the F-35
