Really nice. Nice anim vid too. I had a quick Google to see the "9 color christen eagle pattern"... I couldn't see any decals you could trace, but the pattern, while really nice, isn't too complex. You shouldn't have too much of a problem replicating it.

The bottom edge of the fuselage of Christen Eagle II is very tight. My model was not and as much as I kept telling myself it looked better more rounded it was just not an accurate representation of the actual airplane so I tightened the edge.
Although this caused me to have to adjust a lot of other components I will sleep better knowing the model is a more faithful representation of the real plane.

The pinstriping and lighting makes a much better impact ctbram!!! That is one good looking model!! Are you going to tutorial it?? I want the first DVD or download!!!

I think the latest renders are looking pretty good. I would turn on shadows but I can't seem to get soft edges with mental ray so I just kept ray traced shadows off.
I would like to add a panel line layer. I would also like to add some kind of displacement to simulate the fabric sag between the wing ribs.
I am in the process of drawing up the actual 9-color christen eagle II paint scheme on my plane. So I will have some more renders with a different paint scheme soon.
