I built plastic many years ago, dabbled with balsa and paper a bit, Now, I don’t get my hands covered with paint, glue, cuts…..digital is my toy today.

The 3-d package I use, Softimage 3-D is not compatible with any of the sims as far as I know, I just do illustrations. Here is a little one I just did, not quite done with the A/C, just slapped it into a revetment, a little Photoshop time and there it is.
I had been working on the Glad for some time and just stumbled across the Malta Movie, those guys know their stuff. A few things I would want to mess with myself, but they got a LOT done very well!

One of these birdies?

NOT coming to an airport near me!:(

Thought for the day. If “all” the glaciers and icecaps are melting, how did she come to be 265′ under the ice in a paltry 60 years?

We were in Oslo in January, and indeed, they are totally different places. The Air Museum is out at the airport 20 miles out of town and the armed forces museum is right next to the harbor downtown. Watch for scheduling, the air museum is closed A LOT in the winter time……I missed it!!!:( But did make the Bodo Museum-Very highly recomended (but very dimly lit, at least in winter time)

Would that be JME Aviation at Martham that you are looking for?

I’ve read that the B-26 of Kermit Week’s collection is the only one still flying. Back in the training days they called them the “Once a day in Tampa Bay” aircraft. Tough one to train on. Very fast, but on the edge. If they lost that many there still should be a bunch of parts laying around, though as shallow as most of the bay is, they probably recovered most everything immediately.

Is there not a “Tourism Council” or some such department that could look into these issues? There are enough Plane and Train aficionados around that it could be a major boost to the local economy as well as add funding for upkeep and restoration?! If collections of priceless artifacts are hidden away and not preserved, they are doing the local economy, the country’s heritage, and the citizens in general, a great disservice!

Scrapping artifacts because they already have one in THEIR collection!!! I’d best stop now before I say anything that I shouldn’t.

Just watched on a Mac running Safari, came in just fine.

Perhaps a bit long, but covered a lot of information, don’t kow what I’d cut unless cutting to stills of what he is talking of as he is talking or some historic photos mixed in. The handheld camera gets a bit distracting after a while. A tripod with a smooth mount would help.
Sound quality generally OK, the power tools in the background at the beginning a bit distracting, but it does put you in an active hangar.
