Well done indeed, especially for a first project. What program did you use for the modelling and what was the most challenging aspects?

Thanks! I did a combination of Blender to make and map the parts as well as add any hinge points if needed (collada .dae format)... Then MCX to add animations and export into P3d .mdl ... As for the most challenging part, I would have to say making the paint for it... followed by making and mapping of the parts; getting faces and vertices correct... But I did learn some new things along the way and got some new blender tips from Dan Reeves and his father that will help me into the future. Such as UV mapping from view and using face mode... ect... Admittedly the animations and vis conds (MCX work) were the easiest part but no real surprise there...
