Thumbs up

Looks pretty good, but you need more detail in areas. I think you said you are adding wires though so we will see. Nice progress though and good luck:tup: !

almost all the wires done, only ones left are the main bundles to the wings. those are next.

I added some transparency for visualization purposes.

Beatiful detail!
I just noticed you live in PA as well. Any clue on how far it is from York?

Im in Mertztown, which is about 20 min west of Allentown. York, I think is about an hour and a half away.

As a side note, Im running a Lightwave demo/ tutorial on May 9th (7 to 9pm) at Encompass Media in west Reading, Pa. Anyone and everyone is welcome to attend (FREE).

So, Ive been working on the wings. I tried to set it up with feathers but I found that it was impractical. This is the result of my efforts. Tommorrow I hope to finish the model.:p
