I lost most of them, as I usually forget to back them up when I'm reformatting my computer after a while, have to see if I still have any

I was thinking about trying to model some stuff again yesterday, might be able to finish something this time

Yeah definately! What program(s) do you use?

If you use, MS Paint, Milkshape3d, or UltimateUnwrap then I can help you if you need help.

Also, http://www.the-blueprints.com is a great site for finding good reference pictures when modelling.

Well, been using gmax for a while, thinking of moving to Blender (Heard a lot of good stuff about it)

I know about The-Blueprints, it's a great site, but if you're looking for aircraft blueprints (I concentrated mainly on aircraft modeling, which was probably a mistake...), airwar.ru has some very high quality blueprints which are much more detailed than the ones on The-Blueprints (Even though they are probably harder to use for that reason too...)

Okay Raptor

it's been more than 24 hours, time to show us what you got!

Well, I looked through my drive and found this uncompleted P-47 fuselage (Well, it's supposed to be a P-47):

I'm still getting used to the Blender interface (Quite different from what I'm used to), but should hopefully be able to get some results...soon...

I like it ! Unlike mine which are more blocky yours is smooooth

That's only after MeshSmoothing, and the polycount suffers as a result, also the mesh is slightly out of proportion (That could be fixed, probably)

Besides, your models are of things that are more box-like to start with (Thompson, Panzer II...)
