'Stealth' style mag body from Deadlywind

[nicad]

OK just moved some vector points around and tried to make it flow.. i think it looks better..
but who am I? :)

I think ill start over on a true "stealth" design from a like a Comanche or a F117a if I get the chance.
problem with those large flat surfaces wrapped around a round object.. you end up with large thick sections of excess materal which adds weight..
im still trying to keep it as light as possible.. the Chord V2 is around 4oz.

another angle..

If you feel like making one with lotsa cuts, make one with snake scales all over it. That would be wicked.

[Surreal]

dude, why don't you just make something very similar to the xmag body? do you know how fast those would sell? it's not even funny, you would make a killing.

[Automaggin2]

nicad, I think you should do a swoosh style body, like the ones you find on angels.

[Demobilized]

Better than the first, but still to many cuts on the sides. Maybe if you just smothed out the sides of the body a little like the top halve, you could still shave the weight. But with a smoother design.

[magnj]

yea, still too many faces. lookin good tho

[Smitty2k1]

I love the chord, I like this. But still too many faces. It looks better than the pbx tho. (if that ever even got made)

Hey Nicad, I cant wait till my chord gets here :-D

Keep on working, longer faces will look better

[xadamx]

good looking body but for some reason i always imagine stealthy things have being very flowing and fluid. i could imagine the chord v2 as being more stealthy than that. but overall great looking

[Carbon]

Good idea, but im inclined to agree with some of the folks here, there are just too many facets. Im thinkin going the Chipley Custom Machine cocker type bodies. The upper half of the CCM body is nice and simple, it looks tech but there is a definite flow with the facets. In anycase your heading in the right direction...

[nicad]

too.. many... vectors.....
i know what ill be dreaming about tonight.. :)

That right there is perfect! Please don't change that one, as has convinced me to get another mag.

i for one liked the first one, but thats cause i enjoy how light would bounce of it, not cause it looks nice.... *drool*
