My latest model

That is REALY NICE model.

Well, I’ve been quite busy recently creating this model of an A-10 Thunderbolt. Why did I make it? Well, just for fun, really. The model I made in a relatively short time, but the unwrapping took ages.
Then I textured it using Paint Shop Pro, which also took ages. Any comments/criticisms would be welcome. Myself, I’m a bit skeptical about the detail lines. But I don’t know what I should do to them, if I do anything, so any ideas on that are also welcome.

Thanks people! I have a lot of trouble rating my own models, so I always think that something is wrong with them.

I did have a problem with texturing the fuselage, though. In PSP, I make textures by keeping the original unwrap, and adding on layers on top of it for the other things, eg the colours, the detail etc. So I can view each layer without the others, and can add the detail using the original unwrap for reference.
BUT, I forgot to create a new layer for the colours on the fuselage, so I didn’t have the guidelines from the original texture to help me put in the details. I had to go through a lot of trial and improvement to get it right (drawing the lines, opening 3dc to see if they are in the right place, adjusting them…).

Well, thanks again for your comments!

Wow! Thats real cool! The texturing looks great too! Keep it the way it is.

I agree… <!– s:) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!– s:) –>
The texturing overall, and the detail lines look great. I wouldn’t change anything……….
Great model.
