Howdy boys,,

This is a little project I've been tinkering around with..
Would really like to make those AIM-9's do something...

Great work. Did you made it from a scratch, or remade stock AH-1W? And do you plan to make a cockpit for it by the way?

Made from W,,and who knows,,one day I might learn the black art of cockpit making....

You probably haven't gotten around to it yet, but the engine exhausts of the AH-1Z are much wider and sticks more out than on the W.



Or from a model which shows more detail:


The wings should probably be bigger too.

Just some tips.
Keep up the good work

Ahaaa yes,,thanks Arneh,

I've got these same pics,,I plan to do the things you mentioned...

The wings are much larger,,,I fooled around with repositioning the Hellfire racks,,I can move the racks,,but will need some assistance to make em fire correctly from the new racks location...

Then the AIM-9's are a horse of a different color,,,I would think some major coding work to make them active..

GUACHO!, that is JUST UNBELIEVABLE!, you just readed my mind!

A new model! Great!

Have been working on the Z,,,,got a lot more to do,,,but it's shaping up..

Oh my...

NICE!

Absolutly GREAT!!!!!

Nice work....

GO ON dfang

a new modeller ?

Not really,,,I just get these ideas & am curious enough to attempt them...

A LOOooong way from calling my self a accomplished modeler...

By the way where have you been?? I thought about asking the other day..

AH-1Z progress..
****************************************************************************************************

****************************************************************************************************

Sehr gut! Behave the same way!

Hidden changes not seen by the untrained eye....

Then tell untrained people what you have done and are going to have done!
Pics are better eaten with text comments.

Well here,,,naw on this...

I completely redid the engine exhaust and upper rotor housing,,,eliminated a bunch of unwanted polys...

Also redesigned the nose to accommodate the TSS optics..(which is going to be fun to make)

Still working..

Yup! Much more understandable!

This is looking really nice dfang, tank you very much! ^_^

Some new screenies of the AH-1Z Viper project..

Have been working on the TSS turret,gun turret,& wings..

I like mapi's camo scheme..
****************************************************************************************************

****************************************************************************************************

****************************************************************************************************

It's really hot!!!!!

I hate to be a damper, but I've seen the new Cobra and it's all drabby grey...

Yea I know it's jar head gray,,but that camo scheme Mapi did is the default one for Winter Cobra's..

The darker gray in this pic are parts I'm currently working on..I haven't made a final texture for the Z yet.
*********************************************************************************************

WAAAAAHT?
: NO

hmm.. must look for old picts..








cant find one for the last winter..2007 ;-)

Those look really good Mapi..
Where could I get em,,I'd like to see what they look like on the Viper..

The progress is visible. Very nice

Gotcha has made an installer...

HighTex-COOLCAMO-PACK: AH64 AH66 AH1 OH58 --------> 2 EURO !!!


.... nahh is is hanging at EECHCentral - man - since 2008-Jul-11 heheh
and yours are in too. Not my last one but, mby not high ;-)

look at texturepackcoolcamo.exe

Thanks Mapi,,I'll go get em..

Man you put a lot of work in those textures,,and it shows...

Just a couple screens,,,refined the engine intakes,,front TSS,various UV mappings..
The exhaust openings has to be done yet,,more poly's here I come...
