Aeronca

This is a model of an aeronca champion 85 balsa wood model kit, partially built. I tried to put myself in the place of the real life modeler and build mine as he would, sub assemblies first, then pulling them all together in the main assembly. It illustrates also the top-down assembly modeling technique, where many parts were created in the assembly. The last image is from an animation I created with the model using Lightwave. I'll be posting a link later today to two animtions if anyone is interested in seeing them. The 2nd was created in 3DVia. Here's a link to the animation on youtube: http://youtu.be/XHpodgoR9hU
