New updates for: He 111H and B-17G - June 5th, 2022
Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another blog in 2022. Now that I'm working and studying, my time for Blogs decreased to some occasions and some weekends. I'm not sure what the future holds after my work at the public health center ends in August of this year. But one thing is certain: Until they call me effectively, I need to dedicate a good part of my time to the next civil service exams.
For the next days, I'll been studying for two upcoming civil service exams that will be applied in July 3rd and August 14. The exam that will be applied on July 3rd is for the education department - precisely for school archive clerk; while the second one that is scheduled for August 14 is for the administrative department - the job vacancy I subscribed is for the town hall clerk. Now the only to do is getting the material for study.
Enough of that, let's go to the Blog. For today, I'm going to show you what I did on the German Heinkel He 111 H and the American Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress in these last days.
Heinkel He 111 H model (H-1 / H-3 / H-6):
Impressive, huh? I added a layer of a Dunkelgrün (dark green in German) on top of the fuselage, wings and the engine housing. In addition, I added some windows on the fuselage. There are some other windows I need to include in the fuselage, including the metal frames under the greenhouse canopy. The gondola also requires the rework for the windows.
Other components to be made are: the navigation lights on the wings, the ailerons and flaps, the engine housing doors, the bomb bay doors (or the hard points for the 7,900 lb bombs), rigging the plane and a nice texture.
Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress:
The American heavy bomber received some changes after the last time I visited the project. I made some components for the .50 caliber machine guns positioned on the plane's nose. As far I know, only the G variant of the B-17 has these components while the previous models had the machine guns placed on the bomb sight and the windows.
In addition, I added the navigation lights on the plane's wing tips. So far, it's looking good.
After these renders, I made some small changes on the B-17. I'll show you what I did.
I remade the rear section of the wings - to make it thin in relation to the forward section. Then I decided it is time to make the ailerons with a selected portion of the mesh. As usual, I had to adjust the additional subdivisions for that area while the modifier is active.
After I made those machine guns ports on the B-17 nose, I made some extrusions by the Inset Face command (Hotkey I on the keyboard) around it in order to remove the necessary portion from it to make a window.
The next components to make are: the flaps, some engine ducts on the inner engine housing, the landing gear links, a rework on the ball turret and the top turret, the 'body' of the Browning machine guns, other windows, a proper texture and rigging this majestic bomber.
Another question surrounding the bombers is: the inner sections like the bomb compartment, the pilot and co-pilot cabin and the other sections for the radio operator, the tail gunner, the bomb tactician and the corridor. I plan to do that as I stated for the Avro Lancaster project.
Well, that's it for now my friends. I hope you enjoy this Blog. In case I have some spare time to enjoy, I'll be working on other things aside from Blender projects and my personal things. Until the time comes, you will be surprised to see them. See you next time.
