Woodelf!

Very good! The thin lines add a very nice touch! I think you are getting the hang of this business.

 

[dutchking]

Thanks GM!
I tried to take all of your suggestions and put them into the texture on this one. The windows, the lines, blurriness, etc.

 

[GeneralMatt]

That is the way to learn, you take all the tips the experts, Smitty and Asio give ya.

 

[dutchking]

Yep, what I planned and plan to do.

Forgot: To anyone who wants me to do so I'll make a German version as well.

Nice looking unit, good job

 

[snafusmith]

You're getting better, keep it up!

 

[dutchking]

Thanks all. Keep any suggestions you've got coming too. Even if you say he has to lay off the fatty foods.

 

[GeneralMatt]

The plane or the pilot? It looks like there is enough room for a slightly overweight fellow in there.

That reminds me, where is Wolfshanze, haven't seen him at all today, it certainly is different.. Considering that I was modeling something for him and was hoping he would come on and critic it..

 

[dutchking]

LOL.
I have something else he can critic...

 

[Wolfshanze]

Sorry... just pulled a 14-hour work-day... oh... and Dutch King... this model DEFINATELY needs to lay-off the fatty foods. But it's an I-16, so I forgive you.

You seem to be obsessed with fatties. Ships, planes, historic generals, you seem to think everybody's been going to the McDonalds drive-through.
on a side note, nice unit. I would suggest, however, also releasing teamcolor versions that don't have civ-specific markings for those that want to use the unit for more than one civ.

The skin is definitely better than that of the bomber, less irregular lines (still abit more irregular than I would expect them to be) and a brighter window, I agree with Wolfshanze on the unit being a tad fat though.

That there is a red star on one wing only is intended ?

and for the most part he is right

 

[Wolfshanze]

To be fair, the actual I-16 is a rather chubby plane!

 

[mamba]

True, it still looks a bit fat to me, I would like a view from the top to see how the relation between wings and body is

 

[Wolfshanze]

 

[mamba]

Ok, in that case I believe the unit is not overly fat, it is pretty accurate

 

[asioasioasio]

Very nice - You realy improved skills Keep up the good work!

 

[dutchking]

thanks all. And if you still think he's fat there's always slimfast!
