New updates for: P-38 Lightning - 09/18/2019

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another blog here in the middle of September. For this one, I'll be showing you new rendered images of Lockheed P-38 Lightning.





Reminder: Prior to the arrival of Blender 2.8, the only thing I changed on the P-38 is the new texture for the turbochargers coils. I added some rust and white effects on the texture to be looking similar to metal surface. On the current updates, I added some 'holes' on the spinner for the propeller's socket; the wings' aft part (adjusted after these renders) and a small adjustment on the nacelle's section where the turbocharger outlet is located. Later, I enlarged it and made few modifications on the propellers.

Another thing I did - just for testing, is the temporary textures for the spinners and the aircraft's surface.




The first render is the P-38 with its current temporary texture, with yellow colored spinners. The second render of the model shows the aircraft with a silver texture and red colored spinners - based on its experimental (XP-38) and prototype versions (YP-38).
The last render of the P-38 has a night blue texture to make similar to the P-38M - the night fighter version of the Lightning. Although I'm not big fan of the P-38M due to its radar equipment and the cockpit adjusted to fit the second seat for the co-pilot, I know that version was important for the Americans to fight the Axis forces at night beyond the daytime.

Probably in the future - after we finish the P-38 project, I plan to make the other aerial fighters from World War 2 - like the Messerschmitt BF 109 E-4 variant, Focke-Wulf FW 190 D9 'Long-Nose Dora', Messerschmitt ME 262, P-51 Mustang D variant, Supermarine Spitfire Mk V and Mk IX, Mitsubishi A6M Zero, Yakovlev Yak-9 and some others. With these fighters along the P-38, this is going to be one of the greatest parties ever done.

I hope you like it. I plan to share more artworks and other things I did in my time with the P-38 project, which I added more things in the current stage. Until the time comes, you will be surprised to see it. See you next time.

Back to Work, P-40N, Kübelwagen, Jean and Miria - April 10, 2021

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog during this quarantine phase while the World makes their best to find a (possible) cure for the COVID-19 pandemic. First of all, I would like to inform you that I returned to work at the public health center in the city where I live. Yup, I'm back on duty after a long time of waiting. In case you follow me on DeviantArt, you are aware the reason for my return. In case not, I'll leave the link to my recent journal there. Job and Lowering my personal works... again (Upd): https://www.deviantart.com/tonytoriusimages/journal/Job-and-Lowering-my-personal-works-again-Upd-875311216 I still can't believe it because they gave me a very tight working schedule even if it is to cover the absence of others at lunch, like - working at 05:00 to 07:00, then at 11:00 to 14:00 and 18:00 to 21:00? It's a pretty tiresome trip. Fortunately I have the weekends and holidays to rest, study and working in my projects. However, I have a ...

New Updates for: Macchi C.202 and Macchi C.205 (new project) - October 11, 2021

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog. We are now on October 11 - approaching the end of 2021; hoping for the things to get better as the World continues in this fight for survival and to develop a (possible) cure for the COVID-19 pandemic. For this month, my university semester is in course - in which my attention will have to be re-directed to the new tasks, in addition to my service at the public health center. Fortunately I concluded the tasks to reach level 30 in the new Nightwave chapter, which makes things easier for me now that I don't have to go for the prizes. Now for this Blog. I'm going to show you the new adjustments of the Italian Macchi C.202 Folgore. Let me show you what I did so far. The Folgore received a new Armature after I appended from the P-51 Mustang project - with some slight alterations in the rotation for the landing gear and canopy hatch bones; aside from adding more bones for the links. Now it's looking good. I struggled to ...

New updates for: Horten Ho 229 and F6F Hellcat (new project) - March 22, 2024

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog in 2024. I'm still working as a receptionist at the public health center where I live and my 7th semester is still ongoing. That means, my time for Blogs decreased to some occasions. The town hall is calling the candidates from the civil service exam. They called the first two approved candidates for the receptionist vacancy, with the first one accepting it. The nurse and the archive officer is still going, the fourth candidate for ambulance driver on duty accepted the vacancy while the three other candidates didn't take it as they are working for other town halls. I'm still I'm waiting to be called to work as a community health agent or as a receptionist. Unless the second candidate accept the vacancy, I'll have to wait a little more. There's a chance they might call me after they inaugurate the new public health center, dedicated for specialized doctors (pediatrics, cardiologist, ginecologist, physioth...
