Hi all,
my first WIP over there even if I read this forum every day.
I work with blender 2.49 and I’m actually modelling a WW2 heavy fighter : Messershmitt Me-410 Hornisse (“Hornet”).
wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_410
I started her 2 days ago.
I decided to not use normal map or bump, i try to model everything.
I’m actually working on the fuse.
Hope you like it.
Cheers
very good beginning
only thing i see is the prop
i don’t see any twist on it which should be there !
apart of that keep up the good work
also are you going to do the cockpit panel ?
would be nice to see on of theses
i did one for the B-17 B -24 !
but lot’s of work cause of details
are you doing this in 2.5 ?
happy 2.5
Now that my friend is looking like a pro job, texturing and all! Really very, very, very well done.
there is a twist on the prop. maybe not enough done.
thanks for your comment, of course i’ll do the cockpit panel. I’ve got a good documentation of it. but maybe not a pilot… because i’m too bad with human modeling…
for my personnal stuff and while 2.5 is not absolutly stable, i use the 2.49b version.
thanks.
Time to sleep in France :o
Really nicely done. I always liked the 410. It’s a lot more aggressive looking than the 210 that it replaced.
I’ve modeled lots of planes using NURBS but I’ve never done one in Blender. I’ll have to try it sometime.

Update. I’ve finished the front fuse but I’m not satisfied.
next, the wings…
Looking really nice, lots of really great details. Keep it up
the wings.
only the upper part of the wings has been done.
I’m now focus on the cockpit and armament (guns and bombs)
more soon…
C&C are welcome

2 requests. Please, Pleeeeeease turn this bird over to 3DS and export for FSX. And when you do so please use bump maps otherwise wouldbe pilots of this bird will crash their computers…
aha
why not …
If my model satisfied me and if the quality is okay, i can create a low poly model for FSX with a normal map or a bump map, how many quads is good/requested by FS ?
For now, i’m concentrated on modeling. But exporting it for Flight simulator is a possibility.
cheers

I love WW2 aircraft… (and have spent many hours flying combat sims (Aces High, IL-2)) though I have to admit, I’ve never heard of the Me 410, which surprises me after reading the Wiki article on it.
I have a German Tiger I tank that I’ve been working on and the model is coming close to completion. I’ll probably post it here within the next month, when I’m happy with the model and before I start texturing.
But so far, your 410 is looking really nice. 
(Have any wireframes renders/screenshots? I’m relatively new to the 3d world an am curious how it’s put together.)
Two things wrong at the moment that I can see. The spinners need to have slots not holes in them and the rear of the canopy is wrong. See attachments to illustrate.
On the whole though good job.

thanks a lot for your comment, very constructive.
So i did that :
spinners modified.
canopy (not finished)
Start of the cockpit :
Dude, this is looking awesome! 
Fantastic work.
Could you please show us some wires.
And can you tell me how heave you done those indents on tail ruder please. I’,m trying myself in WW2 aircraft modeling and this is a huge problem for me wit subsurf on.
Wow, it’s amazing!
sure!
here the wires (sorry at university we use windows and i can’t use yafaray for wires, so bad quality):
global aircraft :
tail detail :
I explain my indents when i go back home.
and a fast render of her of this morning :
@mrjimmy : thanks for your comment.
@Gregstein : thanks 
EDIT : here is the tuto for INDENTS :
Thanks. Great pictures.
Hi folks,
update of my model and starting of texturing
More soon
hope you like it
I like it very much. Do you do a UV unwrap before texturing?
