Hey Guys, im 17 and hoping to attend St.Clair College in Canada in Sep 2003. Im getting an early start and heres a model I thought i would share....

Note* The cockpit and coloring of the plane are still to be finished, that is why it is in WIP....

I'm sorry to say this but it looks nothing like an F-16.

There are many differences: The nose cone, the position and angle of the rear and front landing gear, the "back" of the plane and the tail to name a few.

When modelling real life objects it's always a good idea to do so on the basis of real blueprints, that way you should get the real shape. It's easy too see that that is not the case. So blueprints are definately the way to go in this case. There are plenty of tut's on the subject around so it ought to be no problem finding such, should you be in need.

Keep it up.

sorry, doesn't look much like an F16 to me either. As Sukhoi said, you might want to consult some Blueprints - there are several good blueprint-sites, i.e. http://www.suurland.com/ .

Apart from thr wrong proportions it looks way too "round" in my opinion. Let me guess - it's a subdivision-model, right? In this case, you might want to add more detail by adding greases and playing around with vertices on lower levels.

Like they said its slightly too round. You can give it more shape. what modeling program are you using? I think once you paint/skin it the aesthetic should go up.

do you plan to make the cockpit glass slightly transparent? I know its extra work to cap things and try and build "inside" but a look into the cockpit would really improve it?

Yea, I did make it clear and model the cockpit, but I am too involved in another project right now to post anything...

Guys, I need to clarify, I didnt mean to write that it was an exact f-16, i modeled it how i felt like, im not being a perfectionist here, I was just making a model.

Thanks for all the comments to btw

Sup,

I go to St. Clair College. I'm Taking Tradigital Animation there. It's good that you know how to do 3D, It'll really help if you decide to take the program. A lot of people enter the program having hardly any computer skills!

P.S. Check-out my Profile, I'm the crazy clown, you might recognize me on campus next year..hahaha

Peace Out

Dustin Vermast, maybe you know him....
