Allright allright, for about 6 months now, I've had this awesome bomber, but no pic... I only had this An-225 picture:

Well, I went into lightwave, and modelled that very plane based on that pic

look anything like the original? (better than? :P)

Very cool.

I stopped cheating (using premade models ;) )

WHoa, Very nice Raysia.. You know what? You need to set up shop... Sell your bad-ass 3D-Modeling skillz, Seriously, Iv'e seen all the ships on your CC Website, Very very good modeling...

The An-225 has always been a fav of mine, wicked poversized Plane, and morphing it into a great 3D rendering, well, makes it that much better

Not sure if I like the last one as much though, but the sunset one is cool :P

Hmmmm... Speaking from an aero-Dynm-wric viewpoint, I;d say your wings are a little too wide on that last pic... I don't know how oyur rendering program works, So im not sure what cannot and cannot be done, But wings on a plane like that Do not need to be so, wide. Also, from that angle, the (windshields?) Look strange, Again, maybe its limitations in the program... The front sould be rounded to match the back, as opposed to th current blunt flatness, Otherwise Bofo pics Ray

Actually, the wings look fine to me. (I am an aerospace engineer.) The horizontal tail is the problem I see. It's too small, I think.

Yeah, only at that last angle did I notice the messed up windows lol

I need to attach the guns to it too.

And as for the wings, well, look at the An-225 views:

OK, yeah, might be a little too wide.

Oh well, not finished yet, I just wanted to see what you guys thought

I do stand corrected, I nay, Am a humble graphics artist, A True Aerio-Engineer is far more knowledgable in such matters... Guess I just thought they looked 'Wierd' Being all big.. My bad...

Addition -> Raysia.
You mention Guns for your next update. Is this vessle of yours to be a B-17 style bomber? Will be interesting to see it bristeling with offensive type goodies.

I am going to college working on an Aero Engr. major as well

I couldn't fix the nose, but I got the weapons on:

mua hah hah, I figured out how to do shadows! Those little 50-cal guns look awsome on this light!!

Sorry for the screen-breaking pic, but it just looked too good ;)

are the guns too small?

The plane is 290 feet long... so I'm guessing not

bump

Very nice Raysia. It's good to see nation's putting effort into creating their own products.

Could we do a report on Raysia. More specifically Raysia's outstanding military efforts?

The tail looks a little fragile compared to the AN-225 one.

I've always like the Antonov 225 too. Your version looks even better, in my opinion.

Fixed the tail, fixed the wings:

Yummy...target practice...

Yummy...Target Practice...

Yummy...Target Practice...LOL hardly. With 200 tons of extra armor, 19 50 Cal guns, chaff, flares, and Anti-aircraft missile lanchers, this thing could withstand quite a lot of fire and hold it's own even WITHOUT a fighter escort, let alone with.
