Nice Mike. I did a quick copy and paste. I think you are going to love your new bird!

No problem? happy to throw some more ideas into the mix, Mike.

Thank you once again, Rockwood has sold your design modification to me! Awesome job Rockwood!

Didn't get a chance to work on the updates last night, worked on some mapping for a group of friends that are trying to incorporate the town where I live into a city. Probably more drawing after work tonight as well. We are getting close to our deadline for submitting.

Best regards,
Mike Bauer

Paint Job
 
Sorry it does nothing for me.

Just my opinion.

Simple Paper Model
 
Mirrored the basic work, then printed it out on two sheets of 90# Cardstock. Cut and glued.

This is what I ended up with:



Now I see what everyone has been saying about the tail being bare. Will work on changing the looks this weekend. (modified to what ED has shown-he really did a great job)

Also wondering if I should now have the graphic shown on the belly of the RV as well?

Talking about adding the body feathers and wrap the claws around the side and bottom.

Thinking I might be able to do a more 3d like model on the next try to see how adding the graphic to the belly will look.

Best regards,
Mike Bauer

Mike,

This is really looking good!! Try putting your N-number across the VS/Rudder, large enough to fill about 80% of it from front to back. Try it in blue -- I think that will help give you some balance in the negative space and visually tie the front of the plane to the back.

Personally, I wouldn't put a design on the belly. If you want the belly to be part of the design, then the design should cover the whole fuselage and not just the sides. If you do a more 3D like model you could try that out and see how it looks.

Great job!
Rob

Looks good? but that empennage needs tail feathers!

Maybe try one with my scaled up eagle body (where it wrapped up into the canopy)?

One thought - is it worth having a few more blue feathers behind the head, to blend into the wing root leading edge blue feathers? The three-quarter view identifies potential for a mismatch of colours.

Major Upgrades This Weekend Planned
 
Hi Rob, thank you for the comments.

Hi Ed, Yes, will try something like your design-also will be working on creating an actual 3D model for the fuselage along with being able to use different schemes to test.

Your comment about the blue cape feathers is part of the upgrades this weekend, agree it doesn't match up correctly, saw that when putting this little "profile" fuselage together last night.


Actually going to increase the head cape feathers and change the look of them as well. Too angled and not "flowing", thinking the blue transition to the red needs some curves added. They will be moved to a location further down the fuselage after they've been upsized, to better match the blue of the wings.

I do plan to scale everything on the body up to fill the fuselage like you mention.

I used my last design from mid-week, haven't updated it because I've been working on a different project the last few nights, tomorrow will be doing some serious changes....Not done yet!

@ eisnerrv4: totally agree with you! This graphic won't appeal to everyone. Do thank you for checking it out!

Thank you all for your interest and comments.

Best regards,
Mike Bauer
