salomon Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 This is an aircraft but a fictional one in the Maverrick movie. I can't find a model for this one, so I decide to make it my own. Things begins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Cartwright Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Wow, looks cool! Are you going to 3D print it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salomon Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 Thank you, oh yes I'll print it but there are a lot of work for the cockpit, gears also I don't really know how to cut parts for the print, I can't print it with only one piece, the size matter. This fictional aircraft is big as the Su-27 I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dig it Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 That is awesome. Are you thinking Resin print? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salomon Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 Hello, oh yes I'll print in while as soon as possible, I use to work for the cockpit part next. If you people is interested for this project, please let me now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonwinn Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) Add some PE and I'm in! Edited April 15 by jonwinn grammar-I have none Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salomon Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 Why you want the PE part with this fictionnal aircraft? I don't see which part of that aircraft that needs PE to complete it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Tyler Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Any updates to this project? Scale? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salomon Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 Not this time, I havr to work for the commercial projects and I can't work for the Darkstar until June. This project was planned for the 48 scale and it will be a big 3D printed stuff. smaller scale could be possible but I can't make a 32 scale, It would be too big for my actual printer.

Not until June, but it would give time to see what some of changes might be needed. And you said you were looking to get decals done for it? Do you have additional pictures of the 3D model?

kellyF15 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 This would be very nice in 1/72 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salomon Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 I use to work on the bottom but I don't have any information and there aren't sequences in the movie. The air intake have to be set. The 72 could be nice because I don't have to separate many parts for the print with this scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would consider reshaping the exhausts. They are more tapered towards the front. I don't believe the aircraft has rudder panels either. They whole vertical stabilizer pivots like the SR-71.

salomon Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Thank you for the pictures, I found some my own too, and it's not that easy to understand the exaust's shape, I'll take a look on this part when possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kellyF15 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Great pictures! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Tyler Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I've noticed that the intakes on the model might need to a bit wider. We'll definitely investigate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salomon Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 Good point, I use to reshape this part of my 3d model. I found those pictures for referencing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Tyler Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Any updates so far? Everything is looking good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salomon Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 Hello, sorry for the late response. I have just finished the projects of my work and I am going to take back this SR-72 which I have to revise its shape a little and continue to model the details like the wheels, gears, Ramjet engine and cockpit. My idea would be to make the pilot (Tom Cruise) in a flight suit so that we can have an idea of the plane's (same fictional.) huge size in 48 scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
