Shuttle Carrier Aircraft - Nose Landing Gear - Part 3

Slowly making progress creating NASA Shuttle Carrier Aircraft 3D model. The Nose Landing Gear is about 80% done.

You can see in the background the Main Landing Gear. This will be the next bunch of objects I'll work on for the SCA model.

[Edit]

Just noticed I've left the draft nose tires in the pictures. It's been along night...

Shuttle Carrier Aircraft - Orbiter Support Struts - Part 2

On the NASA Shuttle Carrier Aircraft for the Space Shuttle the Orbiter Support Struts for both forward and aft location have now been modeled in 3D. I'll add the aerodynamic covers tonight. However, even with technical drawings, I think the aft struts need a little widening to make it look more like the real thing.

Shuttle Carrier Aircraft - Part 1

This is just a starter 3D model of the Boeing 747-100 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. It's not going to be too complex. For the time being I'll just improve the fuselage, add basic landing gear, control surfaces and the supports for the Space Shuttle Orbiter. I'll model both N905NA (747-100) and N905NA (747-100SR). I also plan to create the original 'American Airlines' and the NASA liveries as textures.
