Thread: Thud !!!

  1. #61

    Re: Thud !!!

    Thanks again Vacajun...The fuel jettison vent (i think that what it is) is also on the to do list. I see that thereīs a bit of the belly fin that iīm missing...Thatīll go on the to do list aswell !

    Iīm still trying to work out what to do with the wing...a complete rework or just a matter of shade tweeking...canīt make up my mind, iīll play around and see if I come up with something.

    While trying to make up my mind, i added some camo, so see if the shading could stand that test. What do you think ?

    Re: Thud !!!

    AP, Sooo much better!!

    Let's keep picking--looking forward to a superlative effort! Taking pickyness to a new level for your consideration:

    The gun blast area surronding NM shape needs correction
    Add air data probe (and its shadow) on side of nose
    Shape of front canopy needs work (upper and lower lines)
    Make canopy hinge lines darker
    Tank fins have much longer streamwise chords
    End of tank is sharper
    The tank highlight would look better more diffuse (still not coveying the circular shape)
    The tank highlight should change in intensity in the under wing shadow
    Horizontal tail is way too small-the actual trailing edge extends beyond tail cone
    Add triangular lines under h. tail
    Fill in gap in beginning of ventral fin/tail hook area
    Make afterburner petal lines pronounced
    No camo on AB petals

    Two major comments:

    The wing upper surface problem is the shading you have at a nonexistent "break" point between inner and outer wing. Try just using a panel line there without form shading. Also, the standard F-105 paint scheme had a tan area on the rear upper wing area. If you use it, it will define the upper rear of the wing better.

    Finally, the overall camo colors look too bright. The paints used on most Vietnam era aircraft faded rapidly, with the tan becoming more yellowish and the greens more greyish and subdued.

    All for now. Please, please take these comments as nothing more than suggestions--this is coming along so good!!

    Thanks guys ! I really appriciate you taking your time to review my work. I havenīt got around to do all the changes you suggested, Vacajun, but i made some of them and added a paint scheme.

    The detail shot is of the airbracks...thought you might be interested in seeing that part up close. The horisontal stabilizer have yet to be added.

    Hope you like it !

    AP,

    Really nice work! This is looking sooo sweet!

    Here's a rear-end detailed shot for your information. Note the number of speed brake hinges and the breaks in them.

    Might this be the fuse AC Pro? Strange texture on the bomb?
