Today, on Derek Elliott's channel, we witness a masterclass in modeling as he meticulously crafts a model plane from scratch. With a nod to his sponsor, Squarespace, Derek dives into the process with the precision of a seasoned craftsman. Starting from a default Cube, he sculpts and refines the shape, adding intricate details like a cockpit shape and tail with a keen eye for accuracy. The use of modifiers like subdivision surface adds a professional touch, smoothing out the model's body to perfection.

Moving on to the wings, Derek's attention to detail shines through as he meticulously shapes them to resemble a realistic aircraft wing. The addition of thickness and subtle adjustments ensure the final result is not just visually appealing but also aerodynamically sound. He duplicates parts to create additional components, showcasing his expertise in 3D modeling and design. The process is not just about creating a model but about understanding the intricacies of aviation design, a nod to his father's expertise in the field.

As the model takes shape, Derek's passion for precision and accuracy is evident in every move he makes. From aligning vertices to refining curves, each step is a testament to his dedication to the craft. The decision to merge objects and apply modifiers demonstrates a deep understanding of the software and its capabilities. Derek's commitment to excellence is unwavering, evident in the final result—a meticulously crafted model plane that stands as a testament to his skill and artistry.
