Looks like your coming along fine. Are you learning from the tutorial? Kari shares alot of his thinking along the way...

Good to see that your experimenting by adding your take on things through the nose detail...

Keep posting.....

Yep awsome tutorial! Most of the stuff i already know, but the tutorials helping understand where and how to add cuts and stuff to bring out the detail, also i'm starting to think ahead about how to model something instead of trying something and working out its not goin to work user added image

. anyways enough typing - got real sore fingures apparently from rsi somethink to do with wrong posture, meh
Heres what its looking after part 12, havnt had much time 2day. Could someone please show me how to get real nice renders while i'm going along, apart from these screenshots, like kbrown does in his renders at the bottom of this page link: https://www.simplymaya.com/newsletters/helecopter.html or if theres a better way of rendering than that then please tell me how to do it!
C&C are welcome

Nicely detailed model, don't see much wrong. Only thing is the rear rudder looks a little off to me, I'm guessing the notch is supposed to be there but do they go from large to small? That's the only thing that caught my eye. Again awesome model!
