A Lockheed "Rounder"

[Milton Shupe]

Aw shucks guys! I assure you that the models would be just clay without the efforts of the team to bring them to life. We are fortunate to have like-minded designers and artists around to keep us happy in our hobby.

Thank you for expressing your feelings toward these efforts; I assure you the comments are essential to keep the fires burning brightly.

We have the Harpoons, Lodestars and Ventura modeling done or mostly done, and in the queue for attention.

Once we get the Harpoons out, I will start on the A-20 Havoc.

Holy cow I am glad I went back to FS9, A-20 sounds awesome!

Harpoon textures - update

With basic engine nacelle panel/rivet work now completed,
we'll be adding detail to flaps and wing undersides.

Then comes a most exciting and rewarding part of any texturing project;
turning dot and line into metal,
adding light, shade and colour.

Greetings to all,
Nigel

Awesome is, as awesome does, Sir - as always, just trying to do justice to an outstandingly crafted model.

Can't wait Nigel.

 

[stansdds]

Looking awesome!

Superb work as always, Nigel. Some of the absolute best metal textures I have seen to date.

Moses03, Stansdds, BB686; your kind encouragement is always much appreciated, friends.

Time for the real fun to begin.

Skunkworkers now breathing more easily...

With more panel lines and rivets than you can shake a stick at
now behind us...​

 

[nigel richards]

time for polishing of metal, spraying on paint...

 

[HorusJ]

Looks great!

 

[EMatheson]

Simply breathtaking - this is amazing texture work - you've got to be one of the best on planet for that! I can't wait to see what you'll do with some paint on this beauty!

 

[Moses03]

Fantastic metal work Nigel.

Jeez - you guys just get better and better. At the rate you're going, they'll look better than the real thing before long. Now, all you need to do is work out how to provide the smell of an old (new) warbird - that effusive mixture of rubber, oils, avgas, cordite, paint and interiors! I believe the German planes smelt quite different to allied planes.....

Smell'o'vision!

LOL I agree on Nigel's textures. Definitely top shelf work there.

Let's see, I can work on some xml code for scratch-n-sniff maybe?

Absolutely magnificent Nigel

I'm almost ashamed to admit that these polished metal textures are going to get 'virtually dirty' flying in and out of the bush strips up north.

Pete.

Baaaaaa...Humbug!

Typical!

A person only has to mention 'aircraft' around here and everyone goes off on a tangent, talking dirty!

And I'll bet my bottom dollar someone around here had some kind of involvement with this;
