WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's very impressive!

FSX or 2004?

VC planned?

Default avionics or systems sim?


Looking forward to more! 

That's awsome! Very detailed rotor!

Thanks guys...its my first go at modelling so at the moment I am only thinking as far as the body and outside..I am using 3ds max.. so still figuring out how to export the model..but yes I plan to include a full VC and avionics and sound. It will be for fsx..
will post a few more screen shots later..

WOW!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! Model is looking awesome. I can take the MD600N off my to-do list now. If you need any help with textures, feel free to give me a shout!  8-)

Cheers MdFlyer! Lol I have never modelled anything before so best not to take it off your to-do list...yet.. I am working in 3ds max9 and so far so good..but will def need help with textures and advice on exporting and things I don't yet know about..
Started to work on the the Landing Gear but still way off detailing..also will redo the nose and rotors..
Day 11 shots...

For your first model, it's looking great. I use gmax. (Have the 3Ds demo currently installed, too) I haven't worked with 3Ds much. Never had much success. Lets face it. GMax is much simpler. But 3Ds can do much more. I wish you luck on the project, and I will help you out anyway I can.

Ok,just to help you

Hi Alex , thank you for the nice comment and advice. I will probably only try a fsx model first and to be honest am quite scared of the xporting bit ... I have no idea what to do yet and even the texture or uv mapping sounds difficult ... Also my model has a few naked edges so am doing a cleanup and prob a rebuilt as I am already on 40 000 polys on the exterior alone ... Also I am using rhino 3d and then exporting it to 3ds max 9 ... Will look at your site and keep in touch..     Thanks again
Ethan
