Hi Nigel.
Has the work program stopped?
Cheers Chris

Now that Milton's beautifully modeled TP Grumman Mallard looks pretty much ready for its much anticipated debut, here is a reminder of my intended work program.
I intend to complete outstanding projects in the following priority order:

1. HMS Bounty Launch - texture work/paintkit.

2. Bounty Harbour Scenery - finalise scenery for initial fs9 release.

3. AVRO Tutor/Trainer Package finalisation for release.

Hi Nigel,

Any news for us?

Cheers,
Robin

Hi Chris

Stopped work? Are you kidding? LOL

Getting in 12-14 hours per day - many friends perhaps don't realise the hours, effort, and sometimes even loneliness hidden behind these projects.

But we wouldn't have it any other way - it's what we do.

Hi Nigel,

Any news for us?

Cheers,
Robin

I think so, Robin.

The Connection between AVRO, Bounty scenery, and Launch will eventually become apparent.

For the past couple of weeks, I have been literally

en GAUGED!

Amazing how time flies when researching, constructing and texturing each item for accuracy and realism.

Heck of a lot of fun, too!

You are most gracious, Huub - well I'm rather hoping you'll be treating the AVRO's with your own, very special art.

Magnificent project Nigel. Roy Chadwick would certainly be as impressed as we members are.

 

[nigel richards]

Thanks Gentlemen.

Tribute to Sir Roy Chadwick's genius - now wouldn't that be something, H91?

That great designer was confidently putting welded steel tube and all-Metal Construction into the 621 series at a time when that other great rival - Sir Sidney Camm, was busy incorporating tried and tested wire-braced wood into their delightful little 'Hawker Tomtit'.

Sir Roy was later to design the AVRO Lancaster.

The same company test pilot on both 621Tutor and Lancaster was Capt. Harry 'Sam' Brown.

 

[nigel richards]

Progress on to variants

We now have what I believe to be a completed cowled AVRO 621 Tutor (including VC, textures, custom sounds).

So we're now busily carrying the improvements made to this basic model over to the other variants and float-equiped models.

 

[spokes2112]

Very nice Nigel! Looking forward to the release!
