I am a realistic person ... if you feel for, check the first models I tried, for example Bellona and Arethusa. They are typical kit bashing models, basically done by "deforming" existing pieces. The results were mixed. From a distance, they do not look too bad but don't come closer ...
I considered several times to re-built them but skipped the idea. They shall remain until someone feels sick enough of their looks and replaces them |

As far as 3D work is concerned, the Wildcat model that I have been working on was basically ready for use since its dowload. I only had to put its part in their correct place and split some parts that I wanted to be separate from the rest. What is taking time is painting all the possible color variants of the aircraft. US paint schemes are done; I realized there is a problem with RAF camo patterns though. Who created the model made the UV projection of the two wings specular and overlapped, and this is not good for asymmetrical paint schemes. I could rearrange the UV maps, but doing this would entail reworking all the textures I have already painted... I need to device something else to bypass the problem |

How can we contribute to reviving it?

Jimbuna's steady posting of pictures showing ugly stock SH3 models has always been a great motivation for doing better models
I probably shall give credit to his contribution I would like to complete another project before. The major obstactle is that the guns are not available: http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_5-51_mk7.php http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_3-50_mk10-22.php Gap, if you feel for you may consider to re-create them |
