All are works-in-process.

The Avia 51, 156, and 57 are active, with the 51 and 156 in final beta. The 57 is just starting but will be on a slower track as data collection is finalized.

The Grumman Tracker, Tracer, Trader (7 Variants) are active awaiting final liveries and panel work.

The Lockheed Harpoon is active, temporarily on hold as we get the Avia project release-ready.

The Republic XP47J is active, VC is the WIP aspect.

The Dash 7 is active. (Needs a seriously good texture artist and paint kit maker).

The Republic XP72 is backburner.
 
What a stable!

Retirement can be the busiest of times..
Goodonya Milton, keeps the grey cells from atrophying, too.

Didn't know you were "doing" the Dash7?

It has been a WIP for some time, 98% complete, can't seem to push it across the finish line. One day it will get done.
 
well my paint hangar is empty..... i could take a look at getting a paintkit set up for the 'Dash Seven' :salute:

great work all across the board there Milton, great looking stuff all around! nice work :salute::jump:
 
The future looks very bright , Thank you Milton for your creations. :applause: :applause:

I'm calling in the construction crew, gonna fell a few trees, and build some more hangars to house these beauties :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

Pete.
 
....Man....that's a lot on the plate, Milton. Do you have any physical regime to counter the hours at the screen? (Walks, swim, gym...etc...)
 
Thanks for enriching our cyber skies so well Milton. Being a prop and piston kind of a guy, I really enjoy these older aircraft.

Thanks. Aside from walking the dog each day, yes, I walk 1-3 times per day depending on weather, and have a nice exercise bike next to my work station (1-3 times daily). I get up and move about at least every 45 minutes, and of course assist with all the house work. I try to break it up often for short periods. We also eat light and healthy.

Thank you ... I only do the aircraft that ticks off the key interests for me and of course, props are the big one. :)

3900 posts. LOL!
 
Skeletons in the cupboard? Retirement? This is only the beginning

Gosh!...

There's an almost identical list stamped on my forehead...wonder why. :wiggle:...almost.

"The Republic XP72 is backburner":
Huh, what Republic...Czech, China...XP72? Have you been fiddling the numbers? Mischief!
How back is backburner!?!
I just did the XP47J...typographer's error or default Cessna 172 probably. :kilroy:


"The Republic XP47J is active"
Hah! Nice one Milton...That's an understatement if ever I heard one! Could hardly keep up with the thing with my microphone.

Did you search the fridge or closet Sir? Maybe on the top shelf of the freezer, there's a still a family-pack of frozen A-20.
Would you like my to take it out for tomorrow, or shall we have a summer party? :jump:...or is it in that dark aircraft cellar...it should be mature in two or three years.

If we can find enough elves, maybe we can lighten Santa's work load. I'm only a reindeer...but I'll try and help (is that why you keep referring to me as Rudolph?).

Oh...and Milton...Thankyou. You remind me of good old JD...Just warmin' up!
 
I don't know how you get all of this done. Maybe you could tackle next year's federal budget too? :salute: Thanks.

Dear Milton,

I'm almost certain that the process of making something beautiful is nicer than having it finished...... :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

Cheers,
Huub

You are correct of course. :wiggle:

But after 5-7 months. the motivation then is to just get it done and off the desk and share it. :)
