I’d really love to print this beaty in 3d!

I’d really love to print this beaty in 3d!
As far as I know the only issue that keeps 3D printers from completely obliterating the classic CNC turning machine industry is their inability to cut perfect circles. Since my model by defintion doesn’t have those as it’s a 3D model it should be no problem to print it :D.

Guys I have an issue here, maybe someone has an idea. As you can see the windshield as well as the canopy glass is transparent. Thing is the objects behind the windshield (front and side glass) are not visible through the glass. The canopy glass doesn’t show anything at all until I click on it then it shows everything below it. This makes sense as it is a separate object.
I also get the issue with the seats and hud assembly as these are non mirrored separate objects but the upper part of the front cockpit is not visible through the windshield while the part upfront is and they’re all one object!? Anyone have an idea how I should proceed?
Thanks.

Got some major work done, modeling in Blender 98% I’d say. Detailed update tonight. Will move to 3Ds once the modeling is finished, get the bird setup and in game before doing the tex mapping.
Sexy nose, Baby.
PS: Didn’t really resolve the transparency issue but I welded the front glass into the windshield frame, then made it a separate object and joined that with the canopy glass (also separate). That has the effect that everything is visible in material and render shots and geometry is perfectly aligned.

Absolutely GORGEOUS Stingray! Keep up the great work!

Some more info on the (almost) final touches…
Nose gear and doors with antenna added, tank, hinges, etc. Will add some more detail but not much:
Decided to rebuild the topside of the aft fuselage, smoothed now:
Gunport will stay separate, the heat shield and nozzle will be integrated into front fuselage, the bulgy backside simply slides into the fuselage:
Had the problem of having this see through effect on the glove right along where the wing folds into, now closed up:
This detail has been missing forever, the ‘hole’ in the wing glove as well as the sealing plates that extend out of it, now added:
Some renders will follow :).

Freaking amazing!
What skins are you going to offer with it?

Nice! Cant wait

That’s the CAD model for the upcoming AMK 1/48 F-14D…not the BMS mod.

3-4 Falcon weeks are long from over :). That’s a nice model kit with lots of very authentic details. Some sections naturally a bit too thick/big in order to get it to plastic but overall pretty epic. Only the nose/front fuselage and canopy section is off but that’s the case on 90% of models out there (3D and kits) so I guess can’t blame them.
Some very useful reference shots there! Thanks for sharing.

AMK??? lol I just love Hasegawa’s But they are old nowadays… Needs new tooling to be better but the details they have are freaking awesome still… I got a -D 1/48 and it was the high-tech one with photo eched parts and metal parts preety decent still…
On BMS mod now stingray its amazing… go on i wonder hows the polycount on that? I went sky high with the Phantom thats why i ask. Ikaros AUP model is at 97k (lol) and the normal E will stay just above 94k, therfore i still wonder are you gona be able to port the whole model to 3ds to work with dofs and switches? or is any lod exporter for blender?
Anyway keep it up!!! -

Yeap seems we found Jack Noris of BMS.
Engerek finished the 3-4 falcon weeks.
:rofl:

If you give him more details again and again he will never reach week 3!!!
Outstanding work Stingray62.

What skins are you going to offer with it?
All deployed squads that used the Delta cat plus VX Evaluator squadrons (operated the last ever built Tomcat [F-14D BuNo 164604]) and Grim Reapers will be available skins including helmets, drop tanks and squadron specific LANTIRN pods.
To make it a bit more interesting I have modeled the antennas next to the intake which is the only external distinguishing visual separating the D from the B so that I can offer some popular additional squadrons that only Bravo cats had the pleasure of wearing.
