Re: Sad News

Stunned. No other words to describe it. We'd never met but I'll miss his banter in our e-mail exchanges as an ex-crab like me learned how to build virtual ships, and his words of encouragement as he helped me develop my modelling skills.

My condolences to his family and friends.

Re: Happy Birthday JKAGary(43) 23.7.17

Number one son has picked blue for his new colour scheme. The current wall colour is a 0.0001% different shade of blue. Glasses on or off I can't tell where where I've painted or not painted albeit by touching the wall and getting paint all over myself then have to repaint the part of the wall where...

Re: Nice day for a phot.. but not for long!

Still plodding away on Ark V......trying to drag it kicking and screaming from sketchup into Blender. Hopefully I can then add some animations to the radars and AO to get an appropriate shadow effect to the flight deck. I've also started an early version of Invincible circa 1981-82. Drop me a PM wit...

Re: FSX ships

I've been redirected over here from SOH by Gary after asking a question about Invincible, and from the "fisheads and wafus" thread I see that Andromeda, Glamorgan and Hermes are, ahem, floating around somewhere. Could some kind person give me a vector for a download, please? Hi David - if...

This threads grown since I last looked at it so i've lost track of what's going on....I went back through the posts...

Re: Pompey ships

Re: Pompey ships

I can do that for you chaps, now that I've had some lessons from Yoda (aka George) :lol: Quite often the imagery in Bing is better and lines up better with VFR if your using GenX etc. Cool that'd save me doing it!! Pompey was always an area I wanted to see more buildings, and I'd pulled all the Por...
