Great choice, well done. Thanks for the heads-up.

This is the other two hangars which I have been working on for a while on and off. I would like to make these as well. If you have something in mine for a hangar please tell me and include good photos of it I will be more than happy to make it.

Looking great

We'll do

This is going to be one of 3 to 4 new hangars I would like to make for the new airport that I am thinking of making soon. plus a civilian airport

Fiat G.91 Jet in top of a mountain for skiing. this is a good way of recycling jets lol

This MaxScript generates Weighted Vertex Normals for any arbitrary geometry. It should be compatible with 3DSMAX 9 and up. No dependencies on this script are added to scene files, so your scenes can be shared with users who don't have this script installed without issues. 'Weighting' of vertex normals means that each face normal contribution is scaled by a property of the triangle. This script uses the triangle surface area and corner angle as influences. The result of this is that a small triangle will have less influence on the shading of its larger neighbor. Likewise, the neighbor will have a larger influence on the shading of the smaller neighbor.

As expected

The U.S. Air Force has confirmed that F-22 Raptor stealth fighters were deployed to Qatar. U.S. Air Force announced that the fifth-generation jet fighters have arrived in Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar for the first time to “defend American forces and interests in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility.” The Military.com reported that Raptors have in the past been stationed at Al Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates. The fifth-generation fighter had been part of the air campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria since the fight began in 2014; they returned home last fall, and were replaced by F-15C Eagles earlier this year. The F-22, a critical component of the Global Strike Task Force, is designed to project air dominance, rapidly and at great distances and defeat threats attempting to deny access to our nation’s Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps. The F-22 cannot be matched by any known or projected fighter aircraft.

That is really inspiring. Thank you for sharing

That is a good one definitley. thanks for your feedback

This script will transfer the normals from a source object to a target object, based on distance. Transfering normals might have several uses : fix shading artefacts, enhance foliage cards look, toon shading... Pick the source object, select the target object/faces and press steal ! Works with any geometry object. Keeps the stack. Adds an Edit Normals modifier. Script will be found in the customize UI under category "Noors" Download script free

With the script below you can quickly set the spacing of the grid in 3ds max. Just download the script, edit the predefined values(change, add new, delete what is not needed) and installs it. Download script free

Quick copy-paste object material to another object note: Limited for poly to poly : - Only copy UVW Mapping can not use by undo. Limited for Mesh to Mesh : - Copy UVW Mapping & material ID can not use by undo. - The script does not work well if source or selection have modifiers. usage: select one or multiple object - run this macroscript and then pick another object having material, it's automatic paste into object selection. install: Read in packed Version Requirement: 9 - 2011 Download script free

Hi swambast, I was thinking of making them completely from scratch, but if there are any model out there free and it's good why not. But I really would like to go through the experience and learning from my work as I go a long to improve my self. But yes if they are out there I will use it or maybe use the model as a blueprint for the new model. (credit will be give to the author of the model if I use there work, like I did with the Saab Radar truck) thanks Soulfreak, for the line and this is really a nice find

That is correct, but the GAZ-69 and the UAZ-469 are four-wheel drive light truck.

Your model looks great and it's almost completed, its real shame to see you stop. please, please, don't stop I would like to see this model coming from you. it's my honor to tip my hat for you as you decided to start modeling. and I would be more than happy to lend a hand if you need any help.
