Spark Evo I Build

[Boof69]

I thought I would get a start on this one last night but things came up. So I started on this one tonight. Got a request a long time ago for this, but it wasn't in the request thread so I forgot all about it. Somebody posted and brought it back to life though.

Boof, this plane is looking very nice. Great work.

Very sexy airplane!!

Thanks everyone. I had some more time to work on this one today. I've got a good start on the internal structure and parts. I plan on modeling the wires as well. I modeled a Hacker C50 14XL motor which is the recommended motor for F3A competition. This one is at 8888 polys and the motor accounts for 1688 of those.

Freaking amazing job!!!! It looks great so far.

Last night was a bust. I did find time this morning to get some internals done. It's a start on the wiring, but I still want to wire 4 servos and then control surface linkage.

I like it! I'm not that big into pattern but I'll be sure
to download this one.

Great work

Freaking amazing job!!!! It looks great so far.

No Freaking Amazing would be modeling the motor with a twist. haha hahaha

That'd be alot of polies, but I bet I could figure it out!

 

[Boof69]

I did model it check post# 6. Poly count is 1688.

close but no cigar
.........what you have looks more like a spring

 

[Boof69]

Close is what i was going for. It's actually 2 intertwining threads on the RL motor. That would've added a third more polys to the count. Compromise.

 

[jeffpn]

It's not a te-en!!!

 

[jeffpn]

Close is what i was going for.

I think I found my new signature.

 

[Boof69]

Do you think I should remodel it or something?

 

[jeffpn]

Is this where I remind you that you said you settle for nothing less than perfect? It looks like 2 coils, but there's more space between them. Yours are too tight. What do the ends of your coils look like? They're staggered on the real thing.

 

[Boof69]

I never said anything like that. I said I always try to do everything to the best of my ability. You just put those words in my mouth. There is a poly limit and I make concessions where I can. Every model we do are approximations of the real thing. So why is it a big deal if this motor doesn't look exactly like the real thing?

sorry
I thought you said somewhere that you valued input , opinions and constructive criticism
my stating that in no way was a put down or a slam of your talents boof...
it was just that , my opinion .....maybe next time I should shut up and save it for the ratings

Really I didn't want to start something
just doing what I thought you asked us to do
