Thanks Mike. Putting the finishing touches on the exterior model so I can start mapping for textures, hopefully by Friday.

I have added bunches of little stuff but still have antennas, some door hinges, and see-thru blocks to add.
 
In FSX have now done some carrier circuits and bumps, Lurches and Jerks? Not a supersonic thunder monster, but going to be a lot of fun to fly!

Milton,

I'm quietly watching from the sidelines and along with the rest it's amazing seeing a master craftsman at work. :applause:

Thanks for another classic taking shape. :jump:

Well, the exterior model is close to complete and I can move on to mapping for textures.

I will also load up reference pictures for Matt "Smoothie" and anyone else who wishes to see the details for artistic renderings.
 
LOL Thank guys. :)

Matt, I hope to have the mapping done for the major exterior parts this weekend.

Thank you so much for doing this. :applause:
 
no need to thank me Milton, i do it for you guys, to bring enjoyment to you guys... i do my best, as do we all, it's teamwork at the end of the day, all for one... :salute:

Thanks Mike, and everyone.

Today marks 31 days since I started modeling. Now retired, I am able to invest 8-14 hours a day on this so progress has been fast. Still a lot to do on the models yet and hoping someone will volunteer to do the VC. I do have the basic interior model in place.

Fliger has started the Flight Model; Nigel is on the sounds; I hope to have the aircraft mapped for textures this weekend so Smoothie can get started.
Waiting to hear from PRB on the panel and gauges.

EDIT: PRB will not be able to do the panel and gauges now due to real world obligations.

I think we have lots of beta testers waiting for something to test, but that will be a while yet.
 
Simply STUNNNNING !!!

31 days...

Milton has set a cracking pace from the outset of this most worthy project.

Retirement? Sounds more like self motivaton in a big way. A man with a purpose.

He's keeping us out of breath keeping up! :icon_lol:

Bravo Milton!
