Nice! Very excited about this model.

**OleBoy** · September 13th, 2011, 18:12

The Dornier looks real good, Craig. Another nice GA twin for my hanger. I'm really looking forward to seeing (and hearing) more news of your work

Bump ! quite literally all day, I hope you can see it in the screenie.

You sure can see the bump mapping. And the rest of the added details. Looking real nice!!

**Gibbage** · September 27th, 2011, 12:47

I love normal mapping! Its a tricky thing and really hard to get those fine details. Are you using Xnormal or the Nvidia tools in Photoshop? One trick I found was to put a drop shadow on the rivits and then do the normals. It gives the rivits a dimpled look, like the body skin is slightly pulling away. Keep up the good work!

It looks amazing Craig I can imagine it will be very popular model as there are many who love GA aircraft. But as you might know GA aircraft aren't really my thing. Therefore I still have hope you will redo the He51 an Dewoitine 510 for FSX one day....

Cheers,
Huub

Yeah its great ! thats exactly how I do rivets as well, although I use Crazy Bump. Heres a couple more shots with some paint added this time to check the mapping is all correct.

Thanks Huub, lol I hear ya.

Which one.... the He51 or the Dewoitine....

**OleBoy** · October 3rd, 2011, 10:57

You got it looking good Craig. From the looks of the paint lines you're using for your mapping, that should do the trick alright!!

***Roger*** · October 3rd, 2011, 11:42

Great progress Craig!

***Sundog*** · October 3rd, 2011, 18:52

This is going to be a great plane to use with all of my Orbx scenery. Love the progress shots.

Craig, you should know me by know *big grin* When it comes to vintage aircraft I become a bit greedy....

But dont' worry as I realise your spare time is limited and I don't want to claim too much of it, I will try to behave.

Both aircraft as very interesting. The Dewoitine is one of the best examples "in between stage" of aircraft development from the fabric covered biplanes towards the "modern" full metal modern WWII fighters.

The Heinkel is much more conventional however it does have my preference, as for me it marks the birth of the Luftwaffe.

Now enough said on this topic for now. I don't want to distract too much the attention from your latest beautfiul model.

Cheers,
Huub

October has become a vintage month for 'X. A Howard for X, just came in from checking out the Nord3500 with some ridge hopping-Sweet!; and now a Dornier Skysmasher! Mine leibchen has claimed me MIA, broke my plate, burned my chair and moved the dogs onto my side of the bed. The divorce lawyer is sending Craig a thank-you note.

**deathfromafar** · October 15th, 2011, 18:30

Craig, much thanks for a model that looks and flies great!

I always liked this airplane since first seeing on in the late 1970's & now I have rekindled interest in it.

Again, thank you. :salute:
