Lesson 10 FW-190 Exercise: #10 (FW-190 Fighter) Completed: April 1st 2007 Remarks: General: The final result was better than expected - The most enjoyable to date. I had some assistance watching a tutorial off the ftp site - Users/JohnArtbox/buildcockpit.htm - I would recommend all Newbies to watch it. (ftp://ftp.hashmirror.com/users/JohnArtbox/buildcockpit.htm) Difficult areas: The tyres - OMG - but once mastered it was easy, but a huge learning curve - now I can belt them out without thinking. Good lesson for Copy and flip when it went right ;-) Lessons learned: You lathe around the 'Y' axis !! If you want a nicer model - loose the wing profile on the fuselage - take time out to modify the images for the decals and save them as new files. I used some of JohnArtbox lesson to make a tidied cockpit area and to give the engine housing a recessed shape - although you can't see it. Oh, and one final lesson learned, Decals cover a multitude of modelling sins ;-)   Downloads: Tyre tutorial Tyre image front Tyre image side <Back>
