For Old Glory: Convair F-106 Variant

[prolific1]

This is coming to a thread near you as well. ;D

 

[prolific1]

Details.

 

[prolific1]

Still early rough stage.

Still awaiting engine and canopy detail.

I'm consistently impressed by the quality of your work, and the speed of execution

Same here. It's quite remarkable!

Maybe I'm not awake yet but on the tail it's 59-0032, in the text under the art it's 61-2053?...

Nope...you're awake. I made a boo boo. (fixing that)

 

[prolific1]

Thank you messers Overscan and Stargazer. ;D

They should prove to make good sized prints in this coffee table book idea I have as they are all 6k illustrations.

I made a separate layer for a drop tank. Am I too assume (as I have already) that said tanks would be mounted outboard of the engine nacelles?

 

[shivering]

Beautiful work Prolific1! B)

And as has been said previously, your speed is amazing.

Put me down for a copy of your book when it is ready....

 

[prolific1]

Yessir! Thanks for the kudos. ;D

I don't imagine that there would be room for drop tanks, as the engine nacelles are already where the drop tanks were (outboard of the landing gear). Plus the cavity where the J75 was in the fuselage yields a lot of room for fuel!

 

[prolific1]

Good point. I was trying to imagine how the gear worked with that arrangement. The tanks blocked the view of the engines anyhow. ;D

 

[Skyraider3D]

Very cool! You're indeed cranking these out real fast. How many hours you reckon you spend on a typical profile?

 

[prolific1]

8 to 10 hours to make one...depending on the amount of extrapolation needed. Unfortunately I can't make anything right now because my crappy Gateway laptop died yesterday.

 

[Skyraider3D]

That's pretty quick! I take twice as long for a 2D profile, and people told me I'm quick! Then again, I'm a bit of a 2D profile n00b, usually working in 3D instead.

What size your profiles are usually at?

Sorry to hear about your computer If you have content insurance for your home, it might be covered?

 

[prolific1]

all my profiles are 6000x3000. I take 5 times longer for 3D cutaways though if I do it with pencil and paper and 7 times longer if I make a path illo cutaway in PSCS3.

I unfortunately don't have any insurance or the like on my apartment. It will likely be a while before I can replace my computer so I'll just have to tough it out.

 

[Skyraider3D]

Impressive figures!


I hope you'll manage to get yourself a new computer soon. Can't wait to see you back in action. Good luck!
