After 25 hours of battling the engine cowling, it was time to face the next boss—the engine of our Fokker.
Surprisingly, this part came together much more easily than I expected. After such a long struggle with the cowling, I finally had that "it clicked" moment. For the first time in my still fairly short Blender journey, everything just started to make sense. Building this component went incredibly smoothly.
The engine itself, however, consisted of several separate parts. The biggest challenge I encountered along the way was modeling the cylinders.
Even so, I had expected to spend at least as much time on the engine as I had on the cowling-if not even more.
This was the first moment when I started to think about this project more seriously...
