A Lockheed "Rounder"

I hope to have the VC finished next week, and mapped for textures.
I appreciate that you asked. :wiggle:

Once you have the exterior done, ... I'll send it along.

Thanks
 
one last image before i hit the sack......
'production'/'Base' layers are getting closer to completion now, kinda pleased so far in the way it's turning out.... part i'm working on is the engine cowl and nacelle in the foreground, hence the 'grey' colour, hope to have the initial work done by this evening (July 12th)....
 
Looking great Matt! Get some sleep ... plenty of fun yet to be had and plenty time ahead to do it. Thanks :applause:


EDIT: Meanwhile, it's getting crowded inside
 
looking great Milton!

1.5hrs till my lunchtime goal for airframe basics to be done, i'm on time and on target.... here's the latest.... a bit closer up than normal.... time for a crafty cigarette by the fuel sheds and a quick cuppa' then back to work!

Milton and Matt,

What you are doing is absolutely mind blowing!
Great stuff!
That VC is stunning, and at the speed Matt is working makes trainee repainters, like myself, wanting to stick the brushes where the sun doesn't shine!
What commitment! :salute:

Regards, Stuart
 
Nice work on everyone's part! :medals: She's really comming together and will be another outstanding finished product, judging from the screenies.

The beers are on Nigel, by the way... No telling what he's been up to as of late, aside from looking for "batteries".:icon_lol:

BB686:USA-flag:
 
aaaaand 1627GMT, and we're onto the drop tanks with a PTO style all over Sea Blue Scheme with Navy Cream nosecone... starting to slot all into place thanks to the way i've been working, coupled with Miltons exceptional mapping :salute:
 
one last image for tonight as it's now nearly 1am.... getting closer to sim testing now.... just gotta detail up the drop tanks, add tonal differences etc.... :salute:
 
That's looking great Matt. Do you have the necessary templates for the rockets, turrets, and guns?

Also, the htail fillet is on the tails_t.bmp, center-top.
 
WOW!!!

Dang guys!
What a ride, As soon as I get up I grab my coffee and turn on the news...Not the channel 6 news, the "Lockheed Rounder" news. :applause:

Mr. Shupe,
I LOOOOVE your work. Thank you for keeping these fantastic aircraft freeware. I can't get over how FAST! you produce such detailed and complicated aircraft. (It's a real head scratcher) Asses And Elbows Guys! Lets Go, Lets Go, Lets Go! :salute: SIR YES SIR!! I bet ya go through some coffee at the'ol office huh?

I like to build models but all they do is sit there. I realy wish I could do what you and the crew here can do.

Matt,
Hats off to ya man! Incredible work! And again, How the heck do ya do it so fast? I started repainting about 3 months ago (My first
repaint was the "Spartan Executive" as a matter of fact) I hope it's ok Milton. Yeah! I am SOOO SLOOOW, I hope I get faster some
day. It's fun!
Man, I can not WAIT to do a cross country in this beautiful bird :applause:
