I
swore a long time ago that once I got proficient enough in lightwave I was
going to do the plane that played such a major role in my grandfathers life.
I'm hoping that time has come. This is going to be a pictoral journal of
the mossie as I build her. Constructed almost totally of wood, she was light
and agile. Two huge motors on the wings made it as fast , if not faster
than most fighters of the era. In some models the bomb capacity rivaled
that of the much bigger and slower B-17. |

Alot
more detail work done. Added all the details to the top and bottom of the
wings. Also cut out and made all the access panels on the side of the nacelles. |

I
don't want to even go into how much detail is in the landing gear... I spent
way to much time on it and the poly count climbed accordingly. There is
about 39,000 polys in each of the 2 legs. Detailed pictures aren't always
a good thing to have. |

I
gave up (for the moment) of retracting the gear with IK and did a simple
morph.. Which means that the retract process isn't animatable, but it saves
loading in another object for a ground scene. Gear doors are morphed to
open though. |
