I made some materials on the vtol now, and I'm pretty happy with how it looks. Model made in Sketchup, materials drawn in Photoshop, and then rendered in 3Ds Max.

There will be eventually a movie render of the full model, this is just a taste of it, and not even close to the whole project. That's a secret work for now.

(Also, I did take into considerations of adapting the model to be more realistic in terms of flight capabilities, and those are being added. Most still will not be easily visible until later finalized works.)
