A little more than a year ago I created this little plane on my MultiCam. I actually built two - one for a friend of mine from Texas who attended one of my workshops and another which I've been meaning to incorporate it into a sample sign for my showroom. Last night I finally got the inspiration for the idea I would use. I had remembered seeing a crop duster in action as I drove a country road down south somewhere. It was the most awesome flying I had ever seen. I decided to create a sign honoring that skillful flyer. The name of the fictitious business would be 'DUSTY'S FLYING SERVICE - SINCE 1954' (I was born in '54. :)
I had my laptop handy and in the commercials of my favorite TV show I created the vector file for the sign. It would feature a compass star. The plane will fly through the middle of course.
This morning I came out to the shop and kicked the MultiCam into gear to warm up for another project. While it warmed up I built the 3D file for the sign in EnRoute. I'll post some screen captures and describe that process next installment...
