I wanted to contribute to the aircraft-design gallery.

I handled the 3D design and created the manufacturing files for this scale model. Although I didn’t get the chance to handle the physical production myself, Atelier Pras took care of the fabrication.
Since I couldn’t be physically present at the workshop, I have to admit that Rhino’s color preview engine (Shaded mode) produces very clean images instantly. Whenever I was asked for information, it was trivial to take a quick capture and send it over immediately
(I’m eagerly awaiting the annotation feature in Rhino 9)
These models are designed to look beautiful, but what remains unseen is the underlying complexity, the internal structure, the assemblies, and the hidden details. Once assembled and finished, the model looks simple. However, supporting the two floats with small rods that intertwine with the tripod was a real puzzle. This is where Rhino’s instant preview proved to be invaluable.
Here is a look at the “guts” of a professional-grade model - the Lego manual 
This is really cool!
