Bristol F.2 Aircraft

This is going to be my first airplane that I'm going to do. I've never done an airplane, but I'm going to do my best. I still don't know what texture I should put on it, but I'm going to do more research on it. These are all of the pictures that I found. I did find more pictures, but these are the best ones. But that doesn't mean that I'm not going to use the ones that I didn't post.


Bristol F.2

This is the weapon that the Bristol F.2 has. I really want to create it and put it on the plane, but I'm going to focus more on the Bristol itself than the guns. And if I have more time I'm going to do it. Even if I turn it in without finishing the gun, I'm going to keep working with this project.

Weapons

The Bristol F.2 in Maya

I start creating the wing for my Bristol F.2 so I can know how big it was going to be my airplane. And after I finish creating the first wing I just duplicated and set it to its right locating.



After I finish creating the wings I start craeting the body, It was hard, but I manage to do it.


 As the result here it is the Bristo F.2 only with its body and wings. With no modification at all.


At the back of the body, I try to make a holl in it. So I can make the tail and put it to its right place.


To create the tale I use a squared polygon, and start making the shape.




For the other tail I use the same square polygon, but I put it longer and thicker. And from there I start giving the shape I wan it.




After I gave the shape, I knew that the tail its not the same as the wing. So I re-shape it and give the look that they are separate shapes.


Now for the pipe from the engiene. I use the shape that its call Pipe polygon to create it. It was hard for me how it look like, but thanks for the reference that I have it help me how it looks like. I gave them the gave the shape and the curve so it look real.



After creating the pipe, I need to create 5 little pipe. So in total would be 6.



Then after creating the first pipe from one side I only need to duplicated, move it to the other side, re-shape it and make it that its look the same as the other one.


Then after I finish creating the pipe and give the shape. I start creating with the square polygon so it looks like a bar, and it looks like its holding the pipe. And I have to create 5 more of those.



Now for the tire, a simple cylinder polygon and not too think nor thinner. And ofcourse shape it, so it looks like its a tire.



The rims for the tire it was a cone polygon.



The engiene is another cylinder polygon, but what I did its that I use extrude 2 times to give the form as the engene.



After working a lot with other project I forgat to loud my final model of the Bristol F.2. I haven't finish the texture, but now that I know a little bit more about the texturing I can do it like I want it. And yes after i did the basic shape of the Bristol F.2 I re model all over againg and start from zero and do it like it soppost to. Its like my Father always said to me "do the first one just as for a blue print, after you know how it work do the reall thing". Thanks dad for those words it really work.










If you want more details for how I did each part of the plane please ask. And if you see something wrong with the plane I will be glad to see your point of view and I will fix it.
