Been a long while since I've ventured into virtual modeling. The SSD to my laptop died over two years ago and I lost everything I was working on. Well, I'm on military orders in Massachusetts now and have plenty of spare time to return to virtual model building. I just installed a new SSD for my laptop the other day but was unable to re-install 3DS Max (I was using a student version - which expired apparently). So I'm going to take a crack at using Blender. Anyways, was able to do a rough sketch in paint.net today (I like to draw out my designs first before diving into meshing them out) on what I hope will be my first project to work on. I'm not sure how far I will get with it - hopefully at least fully rendered. I'm guesstimating it is about 177.38 meters in length, 168.75 meters in width and 27.3 meters in height with landing gear fully extended and 25.5 meters with landing gear retracted .
