    Oh boy...thought I would finally try.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    Lookin good crash
    Fireman's prayer

    Give me the strength to save a life,Whatever be its age
    Help me to embrace a little child, Before it is too late
    Or save an older person from The horror of that fate
    Enable me to be alert and Hear the weakest shout
    And quickly and efficiently To put the fire out
    I want to fill my calling and To give the best in me
    To guard my every neighbor And protect their property
    And if according to your will I have to lose my life
    Please bless with your protecting hand My children and my wife.
