hi guys pretty new here just been looking through some of your work - very nice

the link below is my atempt at trying to model a heller 1/400 scale model on Pro Engineer Wildfire 2. Its not the ideal program but i did the project to gain some experience!

hey you need to work on the hull its not exactly the right shape yet
im missing the armorbelt the stabilizers and an atlantic bow :)

it also seems you have some scale issues objects no being wide enough ?
perhaps from not using a topview ?

here are some examples of how it should look like, its a model of the bismarck i made a few years ago

i know it has some flaws too "not in the general shape rather in the mesh" will be going a remake of the hull anytime soon and ofcourse folowed by a remake of my bismarck and perhaps the tirpitz :)



i use max to model everything ligth/shade/texture
have been tempted to try rhino3d though

if u need some good plans let me know
