But I thought people might like to see how I go about these sort of projects. That way you can learn how not to do it \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>I modelled it up in maya in an hour or so, which explains the crude design. I wanted a faceted look though, sort of pseudo-stealth type thing. Plus I have this thing about low-poly models, so I&#39;d love to have a go at a &quot;real&quot; version.<\/p>\n<p>Original design had two pilots, but partly due to fluff and partly due to size constraints I&#39;ve dropped it to one. The idea is this is a recon vessel only, as the sentinels are in fluff (no idea how they really play in games, since you know, I don&#39;t game). The weapon is more a self defence thing. As such I thought the need for a gunner is a bit unnecessary, the pilot can manage the to cope I&#39;m sure. Plus gives me more room to play with.<\/p>\n<p>The dangling tail thing comes from a rather swanky g-police render I found on the tinterweb. Not sure if it&#39;s an official model or a fan thing. But it had a really long tail that reminded me of a fishing pole. Didn&#39;t have the room to do it on this since I&#39;m trying to keep the footprint small, but I liked the arc and the downsloped rear wings.<\/p>\n<p>Modeling has now begin, albeit slowly. I was planning on doing three of these at once, but the plastic work is proving really awkward. My design was too rough around the edges and I&#39;m having to do some serious bodging to get it to fit. I&#39;m sure it&#39;ll work in the end, but the idea of doing three right now is a little much.<\/p>\n<p>Going to try and remember to take lots of photos as it builds up. Plan is to start the turbofans tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh5.ggpht.com\/-Q0MKemrMd7s\/Uf01SLGf7fI\/AAAAAAAACxc\/vhTBb7-fO0o\/s1600\/copter_01.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" title=\"Click to Zoom\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click to zoom\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh5.ggpht.com\/-Q0MKemrMd7s\/Uf01SLGf7fI\/AAAAAAAACxc\/vhTBb7-fO0o\/s288-c\/copter_01.jpg?w=1200\" \/> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh4.ggpht.com\/-MJs2-C34YEk\/Uf01SnQYREI\/AAAAAAAACxk\/JBzGOguA-24\/s1600\/copter_02.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" title=\"Click to Zoom\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click to zoom\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh4.ggpht.com\/-MJs2-C34YEk\/Uf01SnQYREI\/AAAAAAAACxk\/JBzGOguA-24\/s288-c\/copter_02.jpg?w=1200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh4.ggpht.com\/-q5wdbcnR0uY\/Uf0zIlJwmKI\/AAAAAAAACig\/nzpjwt2V2lI\/s1600\/gyro_03.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" title=\"Click to Zoom\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click to zoom\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh4.ggpht.com\/-q5wdbcnR0uY\/Uf0zIlJwmKI\/AAAAAAAACig\/nzpjwt2V2lI\/s288-c\/gyro_03.jpg?w=1200\" \/> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh6.ggpht.com\/-YwJSpi3C1Fg\/Uf0zJHY8nTI\/AAAAAAAACio\/FQCxgZspDUo\/s1600\/gyro_04.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" title=\"Click to Zoom\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click to zoom\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh6.ggpht.com\/-YwJSpi3C1Fg\/Uf0zJHY8nTI\/AAAAAAAACio\/FQCxgZspDUo\/s288-c\/gyro_04.jpg?w=1200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh3.ggpht.com\/-WpWy2DkoKbQ\/Uf0zJ18aYrI\/AAAAAAAACi0\/epLz-IHf5S0\/s1600\/gyro_05.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" title=\"Click to Zoom\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click to zoom\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh3.ggpht.com\/-WpWy2DkoKbQ\/Uf0zJ18aYrI\/AAAAAAAACi0\/epLz-IHf5S0\/s288-c\/gyro_05.jpg?w=1200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wasn&#39;t going to post this project log until I was a bit further along, since as always dubious about how far this one will get.
