I did this over the holiday break to improve my Blender skills (new to Blender but not 3D). It’s based on an old sketch that I still like and inspired by vintage American aircraft. Maybe I’ll build it IRL if I ever get the time!
I have very vanilla shaders in there, but they’re fairly effective. Rendered in Cycles.
This is a really cool model. IRL would be sick! Great work! 
Thank you! I’ll be posting more work here in the coming months.
Ok, take my money! I’d definitely buy this.
Much appreciated!
I am just curious, it looks just like a sleek motorcycle, could you maybe circle what was airplane inspired?
The fairing design was inspired by early fighters such as the F-86 Sabre, A7 Corsair II, and P51 Mustang. Originally I was going to have the fairing look like sheets of riveted metal, but I liked the simpler smooth surface better. The exhaust in the belly is styled much like the exhaust seen on the P51 as well.
I see that now, thanks for the clarification!
I featured you on BlenderNation, have a great weekend!
Thanks Bart! My weekend just got better!
