AE-23 Progress Model 20241013-A by @fragmented_imagination (B Sanders)

Full update on the AE-23. I've been mainly focused on the forward landing gear, so there's not much else to report on. This is an image of the whole model with the doors removed. I love being able to save the parts in a different file so I can work on the finer pieces. I will eventually start slicing the fuselage apart so I can work on the sections of the plane. Not only will this let me modify the model without having all the slicing and merging screw up the rest of the model, but it will allow me to place textures on the model's pieces rather than try to design a texture that will cover the whole model (which will be an absurd mess). The wings and the nose cone will be the bigger project after I finish the base model because I already have at least two variants of the AE-23 planned.
