Well seeing since the end of FS as we know it has arrived, figured I better give a shot at building an airplane.

Now I am a scenery designer... usually my ships dont have too many curves.

Whew.. this is going to be interesting. Have not started this primitive since my first ship models.

However just like I started in ships... if you get tired of waiting... then get busy learning how to do it.

In case anyone needs help... it is supposed to be a TBD.LOL!

Man I feel so uh... newbie.:faint:

Good job Crash ...

I'm a mechanical engineer by day though I don't play one on tv ... and I'm using cad all the time all day long. I tried the Gmax thing a while ago and I am apparently too much of a rigid straight line thinker. I couldn't get my head around Gmax ... Go figure.

So I ended up moving mud. :)

Speaking of which, not to change subjects here, but you wouldn't happen to know where I can pick up some bomb store bunkers and maybe some butts embankments?

:focus:

Hey crashaz, that is great to hear, and see. :-) And you are sooo right ... if you have time to wait impatiently, you have time to learn. Enjoy and let us know if we can help in any way. I do have gmax examples of most things that I can share if you wish.

That would be cool!!

You'll have to wait for a bit, I won't be home till after 1800 hours EST, then I need to locate some photos ... It'll be a day or so.

Got some help from Gramps... had one collecting in his hangar so he gave me his on loan. Converted all the materials and working on all the animations.

Hi James,

Looks great. Can't wait to fly it off one of your carriers.
