Freakin A!!! That's what I'm talking about! Thanks to Bill and Jeremy for getting us to this point!

Well as you all know now that warchild is retiring from doing flight modeling and will nolonger be doing a flight model for us.

I wish her the best.

If anyone know of someone that could help in this area please see if they are willing to help if not then this project is dead in the water.

It's not "dead in the water". You have plenty of modeling work to do yet, and based on what I have seen so far you have the ability to learn as you go. I think one of two things will happen...you will find another person that can help, or you will take on the challenge and do it yourself. The knowledge is out there, and if you want it to happen you will find a way.

Stay on course. You're doing fine!

That is the nicest thing that anyone could have said and thank you so much for your support, you are right I will find a way to get this set of models in the air even if I have to learn how do the flight models.

Thank You

Bill

Keep em coming Bill, we've got a couple members in the project that are going to be working the flight modelling. I'm dabbling in it myself at the moment, and another member that has some experience is working on them as well. Don't get discouraged, these are the best Neptune tanker models anywhere! Can't let them stall now!

Not going to give up just having some computer problems at the momet, did a internet explorer update, norton update and vareious windows updates and now I can't get Photo Shop to work, I have been useing photo shop to setup my BMP textures so I can map the aircraft and now it is not working, will try to reinstall and see if that does anything

**Cag40Navy** · April 30th, 2011, 08:51

We're still rooting for you!

**BillgjCook** · April 30th, 2011, 09:40

No worries we will get these birds flying, still working on the textures for tanker 44 model and will then get it mapped and sent to tankerguy72 for photo textures, he is doing a awesome job. If anyone needs a model to do flight modeling I have one that is done minus the cockpit details and VC. PM me with an email and I will send you a zip file.

Thank you for all you support and help. They will fly and fight fires.

Have good news, I have sent the Aero Union model to Airattackimages to do flight modeling and will be sending Stealthshadow the tanker 44 model when I get the textures applied for flight modeling. I will also be sending the tanker 44 to Tankerguy72 for photo textures

Lots going on, that is a good thing. Moving ahead with these models

I am still having a problem geting Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI to work on my computer I have tryed to reinstall
many times and am not able to get it to start up, I will be doing a upgrade to a newer verison and hope that it will work.

Thank you all for your help and support.

Bill
