The first thing i did for preparation, was buying a plastic modeling-kit of the F 310B. that was very helpful to get some good blueprints and getting the shapes.
I'm practising 3D for about 3 years and I'm still an amateur, nevertheless I tried to get a professional look with that render. first I only used an HDR-image of my living room for the reflections, but they where not really satisfying. So I started to place reflections manually with self-illuminated planes.
The whole work without building the platic kit was about 20hours.
finally I'm pretty happy with the result. but I guess some guys here have something to say.
I'd like to know, what you're thinking about the presentation, lighting and the materials.
