Let's see, where can I find a nit to pick....

Meanwhile ..  It looks very nice and clean (from a visual modelling point of view)


Hmmm I'll reserve further comment until I see how accurately that "Felix the Cat" is rendered....  ;)

it's in both our best interests for Felix the Cat to be rendered properly, he's there for personal reasons....one of my childhood heros 8)

it's a Smith Miniplane.... the Lazy man's Pitt's Special hahaha no joke, they are related.


I was gonna say it looked a lot like a Pitts, a little dumbed-down.  Interesting, though.

Where did you get that pilot figure?  It looks really nice.  I've been using one created by none other than our own Jesse Corales (hope I spelled that right! :)), but I've been wanting something different so that I can experiment with different styles.  If you created it yourself, would you be interested in sharing the files?

Boy, that is a real beut.  Wish my stuff would end up like that . . .

My email is locke_piotr@yahoo.com

If you have a *.gmax version, that would be preferable, but the *.fsc will work great.  I can import the FSDS version, but so far there isn't an import for Max to Gmax (seems ridiculous, but oh well), so I can't use a *.max version.

Thank you much, sir!

Nice. Smooth edges. I like it from the technical standpoint of how well it's done. Wanna do a design of mine that's been kickin' around in my head for 20+ years?
