[nigel richards]

'TIGER MEAT'

[Matt Wynn]

making some good progress fleshing this bird out prior to placing bits on the mapping....

[Matt Wynn]

.....42 minutes later.... still a lot of tweaking but i'm already seeing the fruits of my labour, and advantage to pre-preparing my graphics for this one....

[Matt Wynn]

1.5h after previous..... just right nose, wings, and pylons left to do....

[JDTinballs]

Matt,

that is truly outstanding, top job that man.

[Matt Wynn]

new piccy.... currently taking a break to clear my room in the hunt for my passport... amazing how i can locate paperwork pertaining to things in a flash yet a tiny little passport has evaded me for pretty much 4 hours total today....

[Blackbird686]

Goes without saying, Matt. Absolutely outstanding!!! Now, in regards to the comment Nigel made about his "orchards"... you know they did close off the bombing range last week.

now you tell me.... "Right lads.... remove the Live 82's, load the mock 82's..... yeah ok..... maybe live ammunition in the gun, how else we gonna go apple scrumping if we can't get the buggers off the trees" *Looking to see if Nigel overheard*

this A-7 is on a temporary hold till i can sort a few 'issues' real world out... family issues... yet-a-sodding-gain... theres only so many times one can listen to ones own father calling them a "waste of space" before said one, flips out... so i'm having a small time away to sort things out before once again me and my dad come to blows....

I could go for a bit of "apple scrumping". Just drop one of those Mk82's nearby and the shock wave should shake things up. Then the pickings should be pretty easy....

I think you're almost there; the problem w/a Mk 82 is the shrapnel getting in the apples, which could be hard on the teeth (or dentures) - I would suggest a good FAE, dropped a suitable distance away so the apples aren't emulsified, or turned into applesauce on the branch - just knocked down.

Dad was pretty good at doing that stuff a long time ago, he pruned trees and plowed fields from 15 miles away - here's how (with apologies to the copyright holder):

[Matt Wynn]

i could alternatively time a dive correctly and get over them trees at about 100ft just as i break the sound barrier, granted anything fragile ie. Glass within 100m would disintegrate.... but for the lads to get some fresh fruit i think it's worth it....

Works for me.... We'll get a few blokes together with trucks and after you rattle the trees, they'll have a go with what's on the ground. By this time I think Nigel will have figured out what we're up to, and he'll be waiting with a 10 gauge shot gun full of rock salt.

Me thinks we waited a bit too long to pull this one off.

Lol!
Now you've gone and done it...BB686 and Mr. Wynn get ground support for their little escapades.

I' ve already had trouble enough the past few days as you are about to see

[nigel richards]

5:30 a.m Sunday morning...
great! an extra hour's sleep before I take a look at my inbox
and enjoy the exotic, refreshing aroma of the day's first draught of coffee.



Not to be!
"Heh buddy, wake up! Come and see what I've done to our SLUFS!!!"

It's our buddy Matt...can never say no to the rascal, always so full of beans, always up to something and always a great buddy...
but is it neccessary to shine those landing lights, full beam into my tired eyes
at this God forsaken hour of Sunday morning?

So I'm cheated out of the hour, the coffee, but I'll be buggered if I dont at least have my first cigarette...
The lights go off, I see the pair of silhouetted SLUFS parked as though they're about to leap into the blue on some vital mission,
but this is Sunday darn it, I have other plans for the day.

"Come on buddy...just a quick circuit to check out the new HAF SLUF!"
I know he's been at it all night long...he never eats/sleeps when he gets one of his ideas....




"Alright! just one cicuit around LGTS, (I don't tell him its been years since flying a SLUF) then we put down... and yes;
I do like the paint job, if you can't do an awesome HAF tex, no-one can!"

Matt:" Just follow me to your place and you'll see something you didn't expect."



Me: "Cripes;a mighty...did you see that...what the heck is an S2-F3 doing on my patch?"
"See the slick paintjob?"



"Couldn't be...."
"I'm taking a second gawk!"





"Heh Duckie! is that really you?"

"Matt! Let's show the Gentleman the way home...and set up the ouzo!
You both deserve it for these great paints!"



"Make yourself at home, just park wherever you fancy...you're among buddies!"


To be continued on the 'Grumman Tracker...thread'

[Matt Wynn]

glad you're Enjoying the HAF SLUF, will finish the Tiger one ready for the Weekend, so you can all have some fun annoying the locals

great shots buddy... i've gotta equip mine with the shockwave lights yet, but rest assured when i do i'll post the config for that....

again Ευχαριστώ πολύ!
