Valiant Effort

A bit of aeroplane design. WW2 crossed with a V-22 Osprey.

Ooh, Sidequesting featured my hotrod. Check out the other cool entries too.

    would you mind if I did a low poly version of this as a 3D interactive webGL model, with rotating parts? I've been meaning to ask for while - and the model has been on my mind ever since you posted it.

    Not at all Dealga, if it's non-commercial then go for it. It's a long time ago, but the design was for these guys...

      Looking good man! I'd watch that the props don't get too thin at the ends. Here's a good example:

      cool, the prop geometry is still parametric so easy to adjust. will look for better reference images for those.
