Hiya guys! When I saw this 3D jam on the front page, I just knew that I had to participate. I was actually working on another personal proyect, but I've decided to leave it aside temporarily and dedicate any spare time I have to this.

When thinking of G.I.Joe, the first thing that sprung to mind we're the actual vehicles. I absolutely loved playin the bath with my Tiger Shark as a kid, so I've decided that I'm going to go with that. I've found some reference images on the www.yojoe.com web, and I think it's going to be more of an idealistic rendition than an actual update, but I think I'm going to take a little more time to meditate that first.

So good luck to everyone. Let's have fun!

Sweet, another vehicle! It looks like you managed to find some pretty good references too.

Hey guys! First day of blocking out the model, getting the aproximate proportions in and starting to figure out how the topology is going to go.

At this point I'm pretty much sticking to the original model. Realised that I've gone with a pretty simple model, but hopefully, that means it'll give me time to get it finished and textured for the end of the contest.

Hello andrewpyott and welcome to the contest!
nice start and you found some great ref

andrewpyott · 08-03-2009, 09:12 PM

Hiya folks! Got started on refining the base mesh. I was hoping to get more done today, but hell, can't always be productive.

Thanks Bad_Koala for the encouragement. I was really lucky with the refs. to be honest, cause I knew straight away what model I wanted to do for this challenge, the hardest part was finding out what the vehicle was called. Once I knew that, I guess it was just luck that I found all the refs in the same place.

Not much to comment on today. Continued to look for the general silhouette of the model. Deciding what pieces I'll be including and which not in my final model. Small update, and detailed images of the propeller.

The day 3 work looks great, everything looks to scale to me.

Day 4: bit hot today and had a long day at work. Not really feeling up to modelling, so I've decided to look into some reference for when I model the surroundings and other elements of the final model. Thanks Greham for the support. It always helps to have somebody behind you giving you that little extra push
