+Coupi Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Hi EricJ, Very acurate work! I've found this document... http://sobchak.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/xf103_cutaway.jpg Coupi. Edited January 4, 2011 by Coupi Quote
+EricJ Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 More work and also thanks to Coupi for the wing,,, tips,,, Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Lookin good! FC Yeah, it is. Lovin' that Red Devils logo on the tail... ___EDIT___ Looked lame without the post above it... Edited January 7, 2011 by Spectre_USA Quote
+EricJ Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Yeah, it is. Lovin' that Red Devils logo on the tail... ___EDIT___ Looked lame without the post above it... Thanks! I think I need to refine it but for some reason I wanted a unit emblem on there ASAP as opposed to nothing... silver skins sometimes can be so boring. More riveting work done on the "wingtips:" (I only call them becasue they are an actual moving surface as opposed to just wingtips, though roll sucks and I know it's not a complete FM)., a small demo is below the top image.

+Wrench Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 they're called 'tiperons'. NO, really!! the rivets look great!! wrench kevin stein Quote
+EricJ Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Okay couldn't decide between aileron or flaperons Thanks! Though due to laziness its mirrored on the bottom side as well. I don't think i need to go overboard with riveting either... Trying to give it obviously a more production look as possible. And messing around a little bit with the Shadowcat Edited January 7, 2011 by EricJ Quote
+EricJ Posted January 8, 2011 Author Posted January 8, 2011 Thanks! Though I've asked Julhelm to see if he can't send a 3D mesh layer to help out with some of the bits... Quote
+EricJ Posted January 8, 2011 Author Posted January 8, 2011 More work. Haven't forgotten about the F-103 just doing this real quick. I figure (I'm guessing) I can start moving towards warnings and stuff like that since I'm sure the Thunderwarrior has enough rivets, though need to work the tail too. Quote
+EricJ Posted January 9, 2011 Author Posted January 9, 2011 More tail work, this time got that riveted. Lexx_Luthor or FC, you think you can get me a text description of the access panels so I can start working on warning symbols or recommendations? Quote
+EricJ Posted January 10, 2011 Author Posted January 10, 2011 Don't think there's much else to do unless it needs to be dirtied up. Quote
Lexx_Luthor Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 There is a line drawing of the F-108 and it has dozens of little access panels. You already have done alot of the top panels, for example the little squares on the wing, tail, stab leading edges are for getting at de-icing valves, the big squares you made along top are for fuel. There's a bunch of very small panels on the lower fuselage, mostly behind the inlet where the maint fellas would have easy access. A few panels on and (mostly) under the nose. Radome hinges sideways. If you want, I might could photo-chop your screenshots, upload it, to show where things go. Quote

Lexx_Luthor Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Okay, first try at this. Panels will be red. Geometry reference lines will be blue. I can't draw. That's AN/APN-71 antenna access panel. All antenna or electronic access panels except the AS/ARA-25 are AN/... click ~> http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d178/Lexx_Luthor/Stuff/ze8.jpg Obviously, these are rough sizes and locations. Size and Place to Taste relative to your current skin lines. If you would like labels for the panels you already got nailed riveted down, I can add them. Quote
+EricJ Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Sweet, now is that just outlined correct? Quote
Lexx_Luthor Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Yea, just the panel outlines, no other details in the drawing. More up later. Quote
+EricJ Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 FC sent me the update last week or so and now just decided to show it, the "periscope" and how it looks outside. And should be good enough for government work Lexx_Luthor. Quote
