Let’s take a closer look at the shape of the nose of the aircraft. Let’s open the photo with the nose of the aircraft again. We see that the nose fairing has an elliptical shape. The transition of the vertical side of the fuselage to a fully elliptical shape is clearly visible. I need to […]

Let’s continue modeling the plane nose. Last time I made the cockpit glazing. Now we need to make the nose of the fuselage. Let’s see what we have. The picture “Right View” shows that we have only the contour of the nose and section A along the nose of the fuselage. In this case, we […]

Let’s continue building the fuselage of our aircraft. Now we need to make the cockpit. At the beginning, we will hide the made part of the fuselage so that it does not interfere with us. To do this, copy the bow frame: command Ctrl D + Enter. The copied frame remains in place. Then we […]

There is no need to prove that a good model needs beautiful and high-quality photographs in order to present the model to colleagues in all its qualities. However, as I already said, it is not always possible to take a simple photo of a model using a phone or even a camera. As a rule, […]

Last time we stopped at the fact that we made one section of the fuselage of our aircraft and agreed that you will do the rest of the work with the fuselage yourself.Let’s check out our homework. We still have one question unresolved. After applying the SubSurf modifier to the fuselage section, its edges were […]

I assembled these designs using the traditional method from rings. However, here I was once again convinced of the need to come up with a solution for large-scale joints of parts. The second issue, which has long been in the queue to be addressed, is the leading edge of the engine hood. Usually, the front […]

Finally, I got to the wings. Their complex shape immediately drew a backlash from Blender. He began to “complain” about the large curvature and inadequate unfolding. I didn’t know what to do and continued development literally at random. Looking ahead, I will say that I had to try several variants of the wing design until […]

Almost every paper modeler’s toolbox includes a steel ruler and a model knife. With these tools, it is easy to make straight cuts in paper and cardboard. What if you want to cut a part with a curved edge? You will use scissors. And if these are the skin planks of an old ship? The […]

At the very beginning, I must say: I don’t know how Blender actually works. I have not taken lessons to work with Blender from a renowned 3D modeling guru. I do not know on what mathematical principles the Blender algorithm is built. I understand the physical principles of the rendering engine, but not completely. In short, I began to […]

Let’s continue. It was now the turn to take the first step in 3D modeling. I hope you already know what objects in Blender are made of. Vertices, Edges, and Faces. With their help, we will create the shape we need. First of all, I want to warn you: do not look for perfection in […]

Here I will talk about how I made the first simple version of the airplane. It was 2015. At that time, I still had quite a lot of difficulties working with Blender. I didn’t know how to model many of the details of an airplane yet. I had no drawings. There were only a few […]

The first part of the Assembly Instructions for the assembly of an 18th-century French longboat with three-masted sailing rigging was published. It contains a large number of photographs detailing the assembly process of the hull of the boat. Now everyone who can accurately cut the paper with a knife on a ruler or template will […]
