Re: my first try at widebody c&c

Thats just the beginning right? Becuase some of the lines are a little lazy, they're not very straight. Otherwise, pretty good.

Re: my first try at widebody c&c

What is that you are using? The wide body looks very out of scale. I would reccomend using styrene, and a lot less putty. Using all putty will just cause headaches during painting.

Re: my first try at widebody c&c

just cut a lot of little bits and pieces of styrene and make a rough shape. then fill in the holes with putty. or take thinner styrene and bend it and glue it in the shape, then use putty to finish it up. and please use punctuation, lol .

Re: my first try at widebody c&c

One Werd, Styrene!

Putty should be only like 10% and the rest should be like 90% styrene.
Keep at it, Good Luck.

You have to do much work before it looks reall nice, but I think its too round, make more little details on it.
