Darrell,  I liked it alot more with the sharp angles.  I model German WWII
prototype designs in Rhino and then export them to POV for rendering.  I am
going to buy Rhino 2.0 real soon, thank God for the education price.
Anyway, I think the aircraft loses some of its comical definition without
the sharp edges.  Now it just looks like some fake floppy thing.  Your
original one reminded me of a pedal powered P-51 I used to play in when I
was real little.  Nice work and be sure to post the final POV rendering!

I think this is an improvement. Of course Skip disagrees :) Which one do you
like better? Go with your gut.

This is what I had in mind. IMHO it looks better. Did you try to see what it
looks like with really tiny propellers? I believe - as with the round
edges - that it would add to the overall "cuteness" of the plane.

Anyway, take Batronyx advice and go with your guts. You are doing a great
job.

Looks cool - you have to remember that rhino model's look 100 times better
in POV - it doesn't take that long to do a test render, just export a quick
low poly UDO into moray and give it one grey tex.

I know the plane doesn't need to be that practical, but I think the
propellers are gonna hit the floor for take-off?  The fun part now is
texturing, lighting etc- could they be in a little squadron?
