    Works In Progress and Schedule

    I thought I would post up some info about my works in progress and real world itinerary.

    I'll be very busy with my move out of California for the next two weeks. The actual move date is around the 23rd of this month, but I'm not sure how long it will take to get satellite installed at the new digs. If I go dark for a couple of weeks, it is because of the move.

    I've been devoting most of my time to the re-model and getting packed, so the WIP projects have only gotten early AM attention. The C-47 is pretty well up and running, so now I can get back to my works in progress, which include the F-7F VC, the Abrams P-1 Explorer and a project I took on about three months ago.

    I haven't been able to devote much time to the new project, so I haven't posted any pics. I did take a few days to get a flying model completed with animations and new UVW mapping. Once I get the studio set up after the move I'll be starting the interior model and VC. This is Matt Ivey's exterior model, so the finished airplane will be a collaboration between Matt and myself. Matt provided an exquisite model to use as a foundation, but I'll be expanding things from this point. The model will be FSX, FSX_SE and P3D compatible with all the bells, whistles and eye candy included.

    The possibilities for Buffalo skins will be endless, so I'll be including a comprehensive PK as well.

    The pilot figure is a place holder courtesy of Milton Shupe and Jan Visser. Animation by me.

    At this stage, the model is a flying "buck". I'll be adding bumps, spec and other bits once I get the final modeling completed and UVW mapped. That said, it is definitely worth showing at this stage.

    Fantastic!!! My TBD Devastator could use a period appropriate escort... not to mention they both look fantastic in prewar markings!

    Thank you sir.

    We are organized and pre-packed so it should go fairly smoothly...I hope. It will feel good to get away from the ski resort prices...cost of living here is higher than Hawaii!!! I'll be right on the ocean, so that will be a big change from the alpine desert.

    Nice thing about the sim, I have extensively modeled KMMH, KBIH and a few hundred square miles of wilderness. When I start to miss the place I can come always come back for a virtual visit.

    Bet the Finns will be all over this one within seconds. You probably won't even need to include a sample livery. Just the paintkit.

    Great to see Buffalo in the sim Gordon. Having moved recently... I hope things go smoothly. So much to do.

    Good luck on the move and thanks for the previews. That Buffalo is looking great.

    Good luck on the move, Gordon. Hope it goes a LOT smoother than mine has. Still haven't found everything! And my FS rig still not up and running properly.

    The Brewster Buffalo! I luv it.

    A very important aeroplane in the development of US naval aviation. Although a very poor performer in Allied hands.

    Brewster Buffalo Progress


    Today begins packing the truck for the actual move out of CA. I'll be offline for a week or two, but I wanted to post up the latest work on the F2A Buffalo.


    Here are some shots of the Brewster F2A Buffalo at its current stage of development, which is now a light study to get the bump and skin lighting appropriate for the model.
    The model is rendered in a basic grey, white/specular skin with bump mapping fairly well developed, but very much a WIP.

    At this stage the specular levels will be fine tuned to suit the actual service skin and bump map heights will be fine tuned.

    Gordon, all I can say is that you must be a very patient man to go into all that detail. The model is spectacular...

    It's looking great. Man, we really are being spoiled with so many great aircraft on the way. That isn't a complaint.

    Thank you gentlemen for your comments and, even more, for your best wishes. This move is a major step...in a good way...and I'm very much looking forward to it. My new studio looks out over the ocean and has beautiful light coming in through four dormer windows. I can feel the inspiration building already.

    Thanks Matt for the thumbs up. We'll pick up on the model once I get plugged back in.

    Jan Kees...you have the ball. I'm looking forward to your C-47 paints and maybe a couple on Matt's "Ugly Duckling" once I get the UVW maps squared away and a PK assembled.

    Mr. Shupe...thank you for lighting my fuse. I believe that I have caught the bug sir.

    G...out for a few days. I'll post up some pics of the new digs when we get settled in.

    Where abouts are you locating to? There are a few of us in Southern California that try to meet at air shows around here. Would be great to meet you.

    It would be great to meet you too Paul. If there is a drawback to our forum, it is that we are rather sequestered by our locations and the distance between friends.

    I grew up in Huntington Beach, surfed for 35 years before the ocean got sick. I moved to Mammoth Lakes, CA permanently in 1999. I love this area and the isolation, but the sage brush is requiring too much from my immune system. Kind of like living on the ocean and being allergic to salt water...lol.

    This move is north and out of California. We will be landing in a beautiful and isolated spot on a cliff overlooking the Pacific. This is a temporary location, but lovely and suitable while we begin to look for the right property to develop to suit our needs. We have spent the last year upgrading and re-modeling our little place here, just south of KMMH. I have a spectacular view, overlooking Lake Crowley with cattle in the front yard and the East Slope directly at my back.

    It's kind of ironic, we finally have the place the way we would like to see it, but will be leaving it for someone else to enjoy.

    My wife and I prefer to keep our actual destination to ourselves, but I'll share some details when I get the studio set back up. I've put in 100 hour weeks for the last five years, first with the ORBX work, then with my own. It was necessary to invest the time to the dev work and the house, but I would like to scale the hours back and devote some time to the gym and other interests.

    Thanks for your interest Paul. I'm looking forward to working out of the new studio and moving closer to releasing my various packages. It's been a long time in development.

    Best,
    G

    Quite the adventure you've been on. The Buffalo is exciting! Hope all goes well on the move.

    Will ll that beautiful KMMH/KBIH scenery I've seen in your videos ever be released to the public? It's stunning work.

    Hey Gordon I used to surf the California coast on my Bob Ford surfboard. I went to college in Southern California and then worked out of San Ramon, CA for 17 years with ADP. I miss those beautiful waves! Moved back to Texas. The biggest I saw in South Padre were about 3 feet high! LOL
