Comanche Helicopter

This is the helicopter I textured but did not model.

T-80

Here is the T-80 tank I was working on in my 3D class. Due to the larger number of pictures, we will only have the T-80 today, look for the Comanche Helicoptor later this week.

Old School Stuff....

No, not old school as in "dude thats old school." Old school as in stuff I did back in school. I found a cd of all my old 3D projects I worked on while at TSTC. We were working on some sort of demo for Fort Hood so we all were modeling tanks and helicoptors and other such Army vehicles as well as topographical maps of Fort Hood. Not sure what became of the project as I left and went in another direction after the first semester.... I do wonder what life would have in store for me if I had continued on with the Virtual Reality/ 3D stuff.... Ah well, I do love the landscape business....
Anyways, here are some of the vehicles I worked on, and I expect that no one other than Andrew to enjoy this, so this ones for you buddy!

AK-47

Rusted AK-47

BRDM (this one didnt get past the modeling phase unfortunately)

I've got some more, but I think this is enough for one day, so look back next week for a tank and a helicopter.

Working on my bug

December of 2006 I decided it was time to get the bug back up and running. For those of you who have known me since before 2000 you will remember my 1966 Volkswagen Beetle, and all the trouble it gave me through the years I drove it. Well when engine #3 went out on me back in the summer of '00 I decided it was time to get something a little more reliable, and the bug sat at my parents house until that fateful '06 December. So, long story short, I got the engine rebuilt with grand ideas of fixing the car up and driving it for fun, not as every day transport. Well, the engine was rebuilt but my passion wanned and the bug sat in my garage for about a year. Until I met a guy who told me about a group of VW people in the Austin area who are part of a group or "gang" as they call it, called the Aircoolers. So again, long story short, I joined up with this group and have found a guy who is willing to help me work on the bug and "teach" me a thing or two along the way.

This past Friday, after having spent a couple months trying to figure out why the bug would die on me at random times (loose wire), we got around to some fun stuff, we lowered the front end.

This is a before picture of the bug, notice the amount of space above the front tire before the fender, probably 3"-4".

And after, the top of the tire is inside the fender.
Next project will be to work on the interior, since it seems like most of it is original, it could use a bit of work.
