Another pattern attempt. Frustrated in that I lost about an 1 hrs worth of work when my computer restarted automatically to install some software patches and I had failed to save the last changes in blender for this model. Thankfully I had saved the changes as a image but will have to go back and redo the changes on the actually 3d model again. This is my interpretation of the plane. I see them flying around all the time but haven't actually seen one up close and personal like. I do love seeing them fly though.
It is not perfect but I'll see how it carves this weekend on my friends project. I am hoping I don't lose a lot of detail when I shrink it a bit.
Once I redo all the changes on the 3d model I'll try other angles and see how they look. I am not 100% sure I want this one. My friend wanted a forward looking angle but my first attempts looked terrible.
