Completed my first 3D Design Project tonight

[Adam Baker]

Some of you know that I've taken up doing freelance 3D Design work, and late last year, I was hired to design a German WW1 Type R Zeppelin, that would be produced as a 1/700 scale resin kit. Tonight I finally finished the project, and I wanted to share screen shots of what I did.

I submitted all the files to my client this evening, and I'm hoping that he likes everything. I already had one round of changes that I had to do. I'd had a few things I'd decided to leave out for the sake of detail on such a small subject, but the client wanted. There were also a few things I'd just forgot to add, that I had to add after the first submission.

Not at this point no. I need to clarify it w/ my client, but I should be receiving one of the kits when its produced. I think that I'm going to try to make that a standard part of my payment, that I get one of the kits when produced.

I've already got an idea of how I want to display it, but I'm going to have to wait till I actually see it in person, to know whether my idea will work or not.

Great work Adam.

 

[Adam Baker]

Thanks Dave.

Found out last night that the client has accepted the models, so this project is finally done. I'm so glad to finally get rid of it, haha. I started working on it last November, so this project has drug on for a very long time, and so many times I was ready to wash my hands of it and walk away, but thankfully I was able to push through all the problems I had and get it finished.

Already have 2 projects lined up for the same client. The next project is a modern cargo container ship, and I'm also doing a Soviet Navy Type 41 Destroyer.
