THought that if it was white it would show the geometry better. Let me know what you think, I think the colors really take away from it. Grr.... let me knwo if you have any ideas. THanks Brian

Last one today, I really need your help let me know if it is better or worse with the coil overs, looks kind of bulky to me, I am just about to say this model os complete.
Thanks Brian

I´d say it does look a bit bulky, takes out all the fly-ability look it had ... however if you feel comfortable with it, then let it then. It´s actually a great piece of work so it shouldn´t matter that much anymore. (Besides you always need some coil on the landing gear right? or is it hidraulics? LOL I don´t know!)

GI _Joe all the way. But then again I am using a dual 2.4 athalon System. So it renders rather fast. On my single P4 1.4g it renders alot slower because there are so many poly's. I am thinking about taking off the landing gear, and I might replace it with some type of Hovercraft system.
Thanks for all of your replies.

Well, I don't like the look of the coil overs either. Let me know if this is a good idea or not, I will add more detail for the final model, but this was just a test to get your input, but what if I had adjustable "hover" engines on the side and bottom, that can fold up. Let me know what you think thanks,
Brian
