Hal Parfitt Murray's fun quirky planes...

[Stargazer]

While browsing the web for something else, I came across the amazing CG creations of Hal Parfitt Murray, who goes by the acronym HPM. Hal's sense of humour can be seen in some of his designs. They are all freeware, none are perfect and Hal is good enough to admit it. They are great enough to explore however, for their imaginative designs, flight models and the fact that a few have won online awards or come close to doing so.

Instead of adding to the already very long "Whif you found while browsing the web" thread, and since we have here a set of designs that is big and original enough to deserve a separate treatment, I decided that HPM's models deserved their own page...


The Auk






The Capercallie




The Locust




The Puffin II






The Lark








The Exocet II




The e-Go
