1/12th X-Wing Part 4

Here is part 4 of the series: the cockpit!

Probably one of my favorite parts of the project - maybe second to playing with laser scans of the original casts. Oh - hell - it's all my favorite part of the project.

Each post gives me more and more to drool over!!

Absolutely amazing!

Love seeing and reading your process. As a poly monkey I have for years tried to convince myself to pick up a CAD package, 3D printing may be the push. And your awesome looking XWing!

Thanks!

Yeah - it's good to know both. I use Maya quite a bit for poly modeling, but having a CAD tool or two in your toolkit really helps. moffeaton uses Rhino. I use Fusion 360 (solids) and Alias (surfacing). Each has it's strengths and quirks...

And more than a little Modo, here and there... ;-)

Of course!

The rest of your toolkit is black magic...

Nahh...just a little Syntheyes, Photoscan, RealityCapture and PFTrack.

The tools we have today and a team of experienced eyes...Good Times.

What a cool project. You guys are actually having way too much fun.

Great work!

 

[joberg]

Wow; that cockpit is the bomb!!

Part 5 is up. This is pretty much the last of the 1/24th scale CAD stuff before we started looking at the actual 1/12th scale project in earnest. Enjoy...

That's the sexiest angle I've ever seen of an X-Wing.

It gets sexier.

Don't tease me.
