The P-47 Plane Model was a project that took a total of 13 school days to model with a controlled UVW Map.  After learning the UVW Process, I made my own custom map to apply to the plane.  The first day began in 3D studio with blueprints (front, left, and top views) and the beginning of the front of the airplane (the air intake in flight terms. . .).  The parts throughout the project were extended and shaped with bevel, inset, extrude, and scale, move, and rotate, in order to match the behind blueprint.  Several times, "x-ray" mode was used to see through the model straight to the blueprint.  

 

Day 2 was dedicated to finishing the air intake and beginning on the main body of the plane (the fuselage).  Here you can see X-Ray mode being used in the process.

 


Day 3 was used to finish the fuselage and model one of the tail fins (the top one!).

After using the original material, I went into Photoshop and created my own, based on the UVW Editor.  The plane sports blue camo to signify an ocean and a large jellyfish spread over the sides.  It definitely needed some more work, and required a design process.  Here is the original jellyfish design that received questioning looks from its audience:

 



You get the idea!  Here is a slideshow with the rest of the days in detail. . . .

After some much needed reworking, here is the finished model with a much more detailed (and realistic) Man-of-War Jellyfish.
