Finished with the animation clips and just about all the keyframing and object-linking in the scene. I'm going to have two ocean wakes for the propulsion on the two wings. Also, I've added an animated lightfog to the wings, though I'm not quite sure how well that works. I went with a sky-spehere for some basic reflections on the hull. A plane attached to the translate xyz of the camera will serve for the actual, visible sky, though. I'll be posting a wireframe of the scene just before i start the batch render.
