Is my next project to go with the DH-2 model, which is almost finished.  This is another card model conversion, from which I've developed the textures you see. This one should not take too long to do, as the aircraft is a fairly simple shape.

Roughed out wings now done. Next the engine, which I should be able to adapt from the Fokker Triplane.

The Dr1 engine fits quite well, just a bit of tweaking to make it perfect.

Thanks Maj_Alvega. The cockpit on these WWI fighters always drives me mad, as I have to fit in a 3D pilot, and get it to render correctly. These buggers who have a Z-Buffer to do the rendering for them, don't know how lucky they are.

I've been busy fiddling around adding the gun and inner wing stubs, so the model looks like this.  I'm getting a bit desperate for nodes again, as it always is, at this stage of the model. I'm now going to add the landing gear, and then it's a few wires, and bits to see the model finished.

Using my standard WWI wheel, which I think is a bit big, I've now got the basic landing gear built.  Almost time to add the rigging, and finish mapping.

I've still been plodding away on this model, and tonight was it;s first test run in game. Other than a glitch with the landing gear, everything is looking OK.

After all this yers, EAW still looks good. Shame we can't align those trees with the trees in the textures, that will add a lot of inmersion and will make the game look even better.

Yes, I'm quite pleased with the model, although I've had to miss off one small detail, due to a lack of nodes. The skin is a free to use, card model, 1/33 scale model, which I've adapted for the model. I've got a few others, from the same source, I'm thinking of doing, like the Morane-Saulnier L, which is almost a copy of the EIII, and or, the Nieuport-28.

I've been adding the support wires for the wings, and there are still more to add!

Finished all the string now, and only the mapping to tidy up.  I'll have to do a shadow and distance model next.
