 Fall 2007: ConceptsCreating A 3D Sopwith Pup: Featured on Autodesk's Area Site! by Jeff Matheson A FLIGHT BACK IN TIMEFor a recent personal project, I had the opportunity to build a high resolution 3D model of a British WW1 fighter plane, the famous Sopwith Pup. Built by the Sopwith Aviation Company, the Pup saw action in the latter part of the Great War (its maiden flight was in 1916). Officially known as the Sopwith Scout, the "Pup" earned its nickname from its resemblance to an earlier Sopwith model, the larger 2 seat 1½ Strutter. The Pup was popular with its pilots due to its excellent flying characteristics, responsiveness and reliability. While less powerful and lighter armed than its German foes, the Pup often had greater agility, allowing it to hold its own in a dogfight. Click here to read the full 8 page tutorial!
