    WIP Helicopter that I made today. Just gotta tweak some things, finish the cockpit (supposed to be really lowpoly in there though) and create a landing gear. My goal was to keep this under 8k without sacrificing some things. I have a plane in the back rotor for an alphachannel fyi.

    lol it looks like a whale in the first pic. The blades also need some work, they look weird right now.

    Man you're getting good at this modelling lark Ferret! Sure it needs work, but for one day I am most impressed. Tail section needs work and the blades do look a bit odd (not BAD, just not normal) but otherwise it looks pretty sound to me. I wish I had your penchant for actually DOING things - I'm just a lazy slob these days

    As you said the tails needs to be thinner, but I also think it should be longer

    well the chopper blades look funky in the top view cause of the perspective. That is still IN perspective and not a forced top perspective, so some of the blades look skewed. I'll play with making the tail longer and thinner. I also have landing gears to make. Either way I only wanna work on this for a couple of more hours and than start texturing it so its done before sunday and I can start a character.

    Quite nice; its exaggerated proportions (in places) remind me of something that belongs in Metal Slug. Which is ace.
