Hey guys,
We are now officially started,
so any questions, etc. as we go, just ask here.
When building these CAD models, I don't always follow the rules or proper protocol for 3D modeling, and I like to do things the easy and quick way when possible, so here we go......
Alright, we'll start with some pics for Raipes project:

Raipes Profiles.... looks real good. -

Planes are added from behind the cowl (since it will be plastic) to the end of the fuse. I like to place them at key points, like the start & end of the canopy, and where there's changes in the profiles, such as the tail, wing, etc. -

I ended up splitting the side profile into two, (at the back of the canopy) seperate front & back sketches, because when lofting the fuse sections, the curve of the canopy (in the side profile) will cause a crease in the 3D model when used as a guide -

And the back half of the side profile. Just make sure the belly line of both profiles, front(side) and back(side) are tangent, and either equal or similar curvature. -

Front fuse sections.. the first section (A) is actually a circle, the other two were sketched to match the profile sketches and 3-view. -

Back sections made the same way as the front, using both top & side profile sketches and 3-view as guides.
