RE: Scale poseable pilot making
Hi Brad
Glad to hear it. No fun having back problems.
I've made another mae west pattern and it's almost finished, still pinned up so haven't taken photos yet. It's not perfect but everything is a work in progress. I've discovered a problem with the left eye as I've been painting and it's come about from the mesh on the computer. A while ago I tried outlining the eyes in ZBrush to define them and make them easier to paint. However, in the process I've accidentally holed the mesh and the cutting bit has gone into this. It makes the eye a bit rough and I'm not happy with the result.
Basically, there's a lot more to do before I'd be happy with the whole thing but I don't want to hold you up. Would you want me to send it as is for now so you can see it and fit it into your cockpit or are you happy to wait a month or so? It's all a big learning curve and lots of trial and error. As we learn more we'll continue to refine and add and can send you another head to slip onto the body when it's fixed. Every problem and mistake we just learn so much but it's 2 steps back to go 3 steps forward!
Let me know what you want to do
cheers
Patti
