Any news?

[just champi]

well, after the laaazy summer, social life commimments (and pleasures), and some hardware issues, (time-to-buy-a-new-one type of issues, I mean) I don't have real progress to show lately (not the kind you'd probably like to see) other than the usual, probably boring, "more modelling bits here and there". 

In regards of work done, have been mostly in Do 24, Bv 138, and Albacore shaping, some Imam Ro internals, Bloch 131 interior bits, some Bf 108-D and trop version details, mapping test with the Bv 222 for alpha cuts, plus some skin layout test with the Hs 126.
This needs to be changed as I'll be redoing some work to take into account some good advices from skinners.
 I've updated the pics for the Do 24K and the Bv 138 to have something to show.

Some of those planes are very interesting (Do24 for example... and Bv138 is great too).
why don't you focus on only a few planes to progress faster ? ...(there's so much work to complete one single plane !)

Took this one week before last when at Schessheim (Munich)

woau, that's a big picture!   and of very good quality.   This model is a restored T-3 version originally serving in Spain as SAR, since 43 or 44, and it was flying, still in the late sixty's. I got other pictures from it when it was being reassembled, and I've being using some of them to pick some details for the K and the T versions. It will come handy for that, Thanks!

is the A/C at the background of the picture a HA 300?

how is progress getting on, really want to fly these planes 

[just champi]

not much to show, sorry. Like with others projects I'm doing some testing with mapping layout, to see how much resolution can I have for the skin with the current (rough) layout that each model has now.
Also finding what would be the best way to map some areas and avoid stretching and distortions. I use a skin for this (in many cases, from the "random crap pack" by Phas3e) The big area on wing and fuselage with good rivetting and panel lines make the He 111 skins in this pack very suitable for the task, so I choose often this one but also others skins in the pack. I also have used for this a stock p-39 skin very often before.

Some examples for better explain:


A bit late I remembered that pilots figures help to visualize scale (this one was a big floatplane for being single engined):


Awaiting engines and weapons:


I'm letting this one to be the last in line, being more complex, no changes from last screenshot:


doesn't show but this one had a big reduction in polycount from previous screenshot:


I got a corrupted file with this one, after having being reworking them, wing roots got screwed and dissapeared partially, a very funny thing when (sh) it happens :
