    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Getting my head around the lines and rivets....all the fasteners are done and much of the wings...

Hunted down the usual 'walkarounds' ....got most of the notes done ...and various minor details....
Just got to pluck up courage for all those rivets.....;)

Well....the weather set in while I was riveting....but they're all done.
There's one or two more notes to dig up for the wings, but other than that the base layers are pretty much done...;)

Once you have a kit sorted out it's pretty quick to redo paints.....threw a few roundels and such on....;)

Got the specs and alphas just about right.... now to throw a bit of dirt and crud on...;)

...and some bumps....

A little dirt and a bit of fading....

...still using the original [but resized] bumps ....but they need to be redone...;)
 
You know if the kit's coming together OK if you can spit out other paints without too much grief [other than needing to reboot while running FSX and 4 instances of DXTbmp and about 8 of PSP and having too many processes....]

What I do next [other than more tweaks] is to import more of the lower res paints and rework 'em in HD too ...;)
