hi, thought id show what ive been up to lately. while im waiting to find some more reference for my 300sl model i thought id have ago at a plane. so after a bit of research i settled on an old WW1 fokker. here is how far ive got so far: http://img.i7m.de/show/45gvc.jpg http://img.i7m.de/show/pwirj.j...

i personly use illustrator, have done since version 4 and have never had a need to change. But saying that, i only use it to apply colour to line work that ive created in Isodraw. I would never even entertain the idea of making technical line work in anything else but Isodraw, especial not corral dr...

Only because your model is so complex and the price of C4D does not seem outrageous. I just assumed that if one wanted to create such complex 3D objects in CAD one would need something like Catia or other high end app you can create very complex models with any of the ploygon modeling aplications o...

That is impressive all on its own. can you explain a little why? ive always been more interested in the construction side of tech ill rather than making the final illustration. im at my happiest when i can construct ...

That's fantastic Glen. Have you any clue as to how many hours you've spent on that? Modelled in C4D? literaly hundreds and hundreds of hours spread over about 5 years. and all modelled in C4D. i decided from the start to not worry about how long it takes but to focus on getting it as acurate as pos...

hi Don, ok ill bite.. http://img.i7m.de/show/7c6ud.jpg http://img.i7m.de/show/driza.jpg http://img.i7m.de/show/viz93.jpg http://img.i7m.de/show/bvrlh.jpg ive been working on constructing this 300sl for a few years now whenever i get the time. when the construction is ready, the plan is to make a gho...
