Looking amazing Sergio! Well done!

Hello Nate
Thanks a lot my friend!!! I am inspired now and still working on exteriors. When the time is right, would you be so kind to lend me a hand?
Keep up the good work on the EC155, she's a fine aircraft and you're doing it extremely well.

Take care my friend.
Sergio.

 

[Nater]

No problem! I might send you the texture files for the EC, so that you can do the texture work....Photoshop is not my forte...

 

[antaris]

Hello Nate

Sure, I'd love to help you.

Hello lads

Some new shoots of the complete fuselage mapped and textured. This time, I remodeled the tail rotor and add the winch...
Exterior fuselage almost done!

Cheers!

Just a note, you may want to review the shape of the fuselage when viewing it from the front. It's not quite that round. Looks nice otherwise, though!

Brandon, thanks for the head up. You're right... fix this may be a problem.

 

[Hughes-MDflyer4]

Being a helicopter guy, I feel bad that I didn't catch this sooner. I know just how hard something like this is to fix at this point. As I've learned over the years though, one can never have too much practice at modeling a fuselage. Remodeling the same thing 4-5 times is not something uncommon in this hobby/field.

I'll buy you one of these if you'll do the rest http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-model/bell-aircraft/bell-429
Are you gonna do a ems version?

 

[antaris]

Hello Michael

Yes I do, the EMS version is in the plan. However, I need to export successfully the model, textures and animations to the simulator. Regarding the offering... is this looks so bad? I'm still working on it.

Remember, this is my first model...

Kindest regards,
Sergio.

Hi there!

Now, the beginning in the interiors...

She's starting to look alive...

Cheers,
Sergio.

Hola Sergio, yes I worked on it. Unfortunately I don't have access to the models anymore, and they don't allow cameras in the flight line. They don't make them where I am, but we do training here. let me know what views do you need, may be able to find you some.

Looks pretty damn god to me!
