Ahhh, Thank YOU, Skipper.

Question is: will I find the polys needed for teh gunner/observer...

or will this turn into yet another poly-witch hunt???

Wow that is just stunning. It amazes me that you guys can create some just stunning works of art.

Love it.

Really incredible Nigel! The model is breathtaking and the textures are absolutely gorgeous .

Why do images like this always make me a bit greedy?

But take the time needed Nigel. Even if the model is half as good as it looks, it is still worth the wait.

Thanks for the update,
Huub

This leaves me speechless... wow...

 

[nigel richards]

Thank you kindly, Gentlemen.

Lewis gun mapped and textures almost there, then it's on to digging a hole for teh gunner/observer...

These old bi-planes somehow are the most beautiful aircraft for me! THIS model is shaping up to be an all-time FS great, there is just so much love and attention to detail ... and patience!

The bare metal finish on the cowling and forward fuselage is beautiful.

...and head-banging!
Thanks Sascha66, I agree they are beautiful subjects, and in this case great flyers too.

Thank YOU, Sir.

Happy booleans...

Love boolean cuts - particularly when they go smoothly first run.

 

[nigel richards]

Now that the hole is dug...

Better get on with the other windscreen variant.

Someone who downloaded my Avia 57 floatplane repaint recently, praised me on my metal textures..

I was quick to point out that it was 99% Nigel..!!!!! He is the master!

VERY nice works sir!

Hi Nigel.
My usual request.

Any further progress on the launch and the harbour as well as your superb aircraft.

I trust your power problems are all sorted.

Cheers Chris

Hey up Nigel.
I refuse too drool over such things, so far this thread has cost me three keyboards. Your bare metal textures have just blown my last few remaining brain cells.
Carry on like this and you will find yourself charged with Cruelty too dumb Stalin's, and keyboards.

Now I WILL need to do a nice fresh reload of FS2004..........brilliant work Nigel, in fact out-bloody-standing!

It will be Christmas soon, and Santa knows I have been good all year

 

[nigel richards]

Many thanks for the interest, friends - AVRO fleet of aircraft nearing the finishing Line. Busy here converting base models/textures to FSX native.

As for the scenery; not much progress in that department, I'm afraid. Each time I go there, it turns into an exercise in frustration. Just have to see how it all plays out - dang near burned myself out on that one...

 

[Seahawk72s]

Thank you..!

Phenomenal effort sir, thank you...
