I have completed modelling, animating and texturing the refuelling probe area. Not a lot to say about this, lots of detail, lots of baked parts, and, as usual, lots of hair pulled out trying to sync up flexible part animations!
Next up is the cockpit and ejection seat. Its not going to be an easy job, but it will be aided very much by the photographs and dimensions I took from the Martin Baker Mk9B exhibit at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, and by the fantastic restoration the Bentwaters Cold War Museum have performed on XX741, a Jaguar GR1A. Thanks very much to the chaps at Duxford, and even more so to Graham and Simon at RAF Bentwaters, who have assisted me greatly with dimensions and their patience!
If you are in the UK, I highly recommend a visit to both the Bentwaters Cold War Museum, and to Duxford. I cannot speak highly enough about either of them, fantastic days out!
I'll post pictures of the cockpit and ejection seat progress as often as possible. Thanks for following!
