Aircraft Fuselarge

[industrial]

I'm trying to produce a 3D model of an aircraft using specific detailed drawings and I have a number of cross sections of the fuselarge at different key points, whats the best way to produce an accurate shape, is it from these or from a BOX... I'm a beginner so go easy.

I'd probably go with Splines to get the flow of the lines.

Here's a tut which might help

jman66,

You can edit your posts if you make a typo. You just can't delete the posts. There's a edit button you can use to make changes.

[jman66]

yes, I know you can edit posts... tho i didnt make a typo :D

How does that figure :confused:

[jman66]

simply because "fuselaRge" is not a word,

while on the other hand "fuselage" is, and usually pertains to the body portion of an aircraft.

I know that's what industrial meant, I was just pointing that out in case it wasnt a typo... (since the incorrect spelling came up both in the topic and in the post)

not trying to push this off topic, I just thought that perhaps his search may be improved by using the common (if not correct) spelling of the word.

You can take a look at great modeling&texturing tutorial of Mig-3 over on LWG forum, check it at

I think hrgiger made a mistake and was probably talking to 'industrial'.

Oh, sorry, I didn't see it was not jman who had made the original post and thought he was correcting himself...
