    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.

GAS Super Stearman

Canvas cover, some dirt, and beveling those lines is all that's needed.

Very Nice.... Those Colors go so well with each other. Kind of reminds me of "Old School" National Parks Service colors.
 
Actually, #8 has metal skin fuse since it was a crop duster, but I've done it in canvas. Need to add the snaps on the black canvas.

you've done a remarkable job here, man - just an outstanding effort on texturing this excellent GAS duster(/airmail) model
 
I'm upgrading the details on the two repaints "Mail" and "N56059... stay tune.

Progress status. Fuselage and rudder is done... lots of bump work done including the landing gear door (pigtail). Moving on to the wings and stab.

No paint...

Focus on the flatten the canvas between the ribs.

Why are Paul Grubich's paints so large surely they can be more compressed or in a different formula?

Cheers chris
 
Wow..... Those details look extremely realistic. The details really stand out when you see them on the silver scheme. (I'm one of the ones that prefers the Silver Stearman's over the Hap Arnold Yellow and blue to begin with) For some reason the "Hopper" modification just really stands out and makes sense when you see it like this.
 
Thanks Mustang... I like this particular solo bird. Possible stitching I'm working on. Took some time finding all those wing ribs.

UPDATE: Smaller stitches.

PS - nice work on these textures, Ted - can't say it enough.

This looks to have metal skin where the red arrow is painted. Colors look familiar as a crop duster at one time.
 
Agree with you - the metal seems to extend to the rear bulkhead of the cockpit. Definitely a re-repurposed duster..
Trainer, Duster, Tow plane - wonder if it ever blew smoke in an airshow...
