Ok, yes, I thought I was still looking at the top turret
![]() Keep at it then. From personal experience, it's easy to get discouraged or bogged down in details when modeling in 3D. That MiG-15 in Blender still is just a fuselage and wing ![]() |

My fault really: I could only pass on one pic of Martin. Several pits are very old projects, and it took jumping in with Monguse to get them going again. The Martin was "complete," but at about 6k polys, it needed liposuction. After cutting so much away, the mapping made no sense, and that's what I'm redoing.
Before I suffocate your hopes with excuses, you should know that Monguse completely built the waist (ain't it sweet), and completely rebuilt my old ball (you're seeing mostly his work now) in the time it took me to make the tail turret. The nose is all his work. I had a very, very rough J nose that I abandoned when I saw his. I think there's hope ![]() Sorry for shanghaiing the thread. |

Hey B-24D team, I just thought I'd give my encouragement to your project. I'm very glad that the B-24 will be flyable in IL2 1946, it is my favorite plane in the game. Thank you for your efforts, I look forward to flying it online!

You're welcome.
I also have a question; why did you guys decide on the B-24D in particular, when there is already a (non-flyable) B-24J in the game? Is it because the B-24D was the first mass-produced varient? Sorry, I don't know much about the different varients. Last edited by JollySam; 05-22-2012 at 06:38 AM. |

I had started with a B17 years ago, but before I could get it going, T4T (Targetware) asked me to switch to the B24. I was modeling every compartment for a J, but I was having a heck of a time capturing the dome on the MPC tail turret, and the Emerson was even more complex (nothing is hidden so needs to be modeled). I had only a bare start for the waist and bombardier. I dropped the project several years ago. Early war actually interests me more, so when Guse came along with a nice D nose project, I thew my hat back in. Everything I had done before had to be redone, but it's been worth it.
