Shinpachi's 3DCG World - Page 7 - Aircraft of World War II

Very interesting material Shinpachi! Thank you for the links!

You are welcome, GrauGeist and Aaron.
Thanks for checking the clips.

Seeing this film, I have a strange feeling.
I feel as if I were suddenly shown my own old memory which was totally lost over sixty years ago because, as long as I recall, this kind of old film that introduced soldiers' daily life under the war has not been being introduced in this country of Japan officially so many times over half a century.

One reason was that media always wanted to show the tragic side only of the war like Kamikaze or Hiroshima/Nagasaki or bombing by B-29s or massacre in China etc.

I must tell you all, with surprise, that the Japanese life-style and way of thinking today have been too much changed even to miss the past. Unchanged are the language and their innocent good smile on the movie as a hard worker. I can still see the same faces around me today.

It must have been hard for the society to change like it did within a generation. The younger generation probably adapted alot easier than the older generation who grew up with the old traditions and customs that had been around since the feudal age.

I agree, GrauGeist.

My father, 84, often said "Army life was Hell! But civilian life in the postwar may be hell too. We workers are still asked to dedicate ourselves to the new nation under the new foreign standards. Want it or not, we must learn everything from the beginning again."

He added "Don't drink Coca-cola."
I, 14 then, asked "What should I buy to drink?"
"Have Fanta!"
"Fanta juice is also produced by Coca-cola!"
I can't forget his eye of big surprise...

This is from my recent works for the RR Merlin.
I'm going to be back to modelling the IJN sub I-14 in early next year soon.
Thanks!

This really is a facinating and engaging thread. Incredible work.

Shinpachi · 12-19-2009, 09:39 AM

Thank you, Paul (May I?), for your compliment.
I always appreciate your kind courtesty for my posts as well as that by other nice memebers.

Modelling the Merlin is a request from my Australian friend, Ross who is restoring Spitfire there.
According to his words, the design of Merlin is God's plan.
Yes, I admire beauty of its mechanism.

vikingBerserker · 12-19-2009, 10:05 AM

WOW, that is truly amazing! How long does it take you to do something like that?

Lucky13 · 12-19-2009, 10:06 AM

Outstanding work my friend!

Aaron Brooks Wolters · 12-19-2009, 01:34 PM

Amazing work Shinpachi!

GrauGeist · 12-19-2009, 02:05 PM

Shinpachi, you are definately the master of the 3DCG design...the detail is amazing!

I'm also looking foreward to more progress on the submarine!

Shinpachi · 12-19-2009, 06:17 PM

Many thanks for the compliments, vB, Lucky13, Aaron and GrauGeist.

I have started its modelling in early October.
I first thought to begin my work from the appearance as Ross game me his sufficient data but re-thought "When I have finised the appearance, I will be satisfied with it and no more working on it".
The difficulty will be the rear parts as I have to understand which gear has which role first.

Thanks again, guys
