do they shape the fuselage for you or are they just a point of reference??

    @BOSSentinel @GeneralCorpInc it's just a bunch of trial and error basically. Keep doing it, and you'll get the proper proportions you want 😉

    @GeneralCorpInc I just tried to make something with blueprints…. It’s terrible.

    @GeneralCorpInc yeah. Later this year I plan on making a swing wing fighter with 500+ parts. [Based on the F-14. But, I like the simplicity of my builds.]

    I use blueprints for all my historical builds. They do not shape a fuselage, but they provide an image behind your build that you can use to give your fuselage (and wings) the right shape.
    (Ps, I gotten into the habit when I download a plan from the Internet to first actually color it blue so it is easier to distinguish the background from the fuselage pieces you work on)

    Also you can use them to project a background image of your planes flying right behind your plane so this will show up in your screenshot of the plane when you publish it.

    @BOSSentinel i recommend you specificly to use blue print or do more efforts. Now that you got plat, you have all rights to take time to build a good looking ahh plane. Fictional if that's you like.
    .
    Like me, i never was able to do a replica, so i focused on fic. And see the result in my vehicules quality :)

    For me, I just look at the plane in a picture, then build it. I don’t use blueprints personally, I don’t really like them, but, to each their own.
