Couple of Sketchup Fighters

Just a pair of fighters I'm working on. Built entirely with sketchup, worked on each for about three and a half hours. They are the Shrike and Corsair, which I've done in 2D but was having trouble making the models look like what I had in my mind, and I think these are pretty much exactly the way I want.

I also finally figured out how to do panel lines in program which will make drawing the illustration much simpler.

I've played with Sketchup, but I had no idea it could do those sorts of complex curves that the second image shows. Very impressive stuff! The second image really looks smart.

I remember seeing the second ship in the 2D thread It looks really nice in 3D. And the first one is really neat too.

Fitter, Happier And More Productive ...

I have been a silent admirer of your work for a long time, but I have to say that these two (which have always been my favorites among your works) are excellent.



BTW, I have a scan of the original Punisher (the RL fighter on which you based your Corsair) - just in case you need it for reference..

Man... how did you make those hull lines? And the graphics... do you just have a model for them and intersect-wtih-model them onto the hull, or do you have a different solution?
