A nose job II

Additional isoparm have been inserted and the hulls have been tweaked.

A nose job III

The bottom side of the nose is close to perfection. After tweaking the hulls earlier I had to start tweak both singel vertices and pairs of vertices (for some reason, the basic shape wasn't 100% symmetric on both sides.

The hardest part to model I'm sure is the nose. Maybe I should have skratch buildt it with curves. This is tweaking hell user added image

undseth, if the nose does not want to work, just put in a human nose and you at least have a funny thing user added image

Ahem... cough... anyway... user added image

(not funny)

The nose is so hard to get right. Takes quite some adjustments, but I think I'm on the right track now. I dont want to rush it, since the nose is quite importand to the choppers characteristics.

i dont know what your problem is - for me the nose looks real good. only the top windows the small ones are missing. or you wanted to add this as texture?

I intend user added image

to even model the listings around the windows. The bolts will be bump-mapped but the door for example will be build like the real thing.

Some neat intersections here

Initially I though I could get away with one curve projected onto the fuselage, but it is much easier to make a curve on the surface by several intersections, more accurate too.
