Lockheed P-2V7 Fire Bombers?

I have a totle of 7 diferent models, I am working on detals and geting more photos to help in the building of all the models. I still need to build the gear and outside cockpit detales, Then I will work on the VC for them.
 
Some of my shots taken this afternoon to put some mental images to the soon to be newest flight sim tanker on the block. :wiggle:

Sorry for not replying sooner as I have been house setting for some frends and I have not hade much time to work on the models. But as soon as they get back I will get back on them asap.
 
We've got a guy we asked thats interested in doing the paints when the model is ready for that. He does pretty nice work.

Ok that sounds good I will be back home on at the end of the week and I will be geting on with the final outside detales, then I will work on the VC.

Thank you
 
who have you got lined up to make it fly??? if no one, i just might be interested in helping out if you'd have me..

Well I can use all the help I can get and if both of you are onbord then I will be geting thing moving even faster, I am still working on the gear and some detales so when I get those done I will get the models packaged for both of you. Thank you for stepping up and helping get these models done. Now with the textures, I don't know how to make supper detaled textures or how to do Lite unrap to make the textures raparound the parts. I can do Bump maps with gray scales bmps. For the flight modeling I will get you the g-max files so you can tweek as needed.
Thank you x One Million.
 
i havent done textures starting from scratch but im sure if i know where the parts are laid out i can figure it out! we will see
 
Well, once they've got the UV map unwrapped, it should only be a matter if building up the layers for each dds image.
:) i have faith in us :)..
 
If you folks want, i'll speak with Dangerous Dave and see if he'll create a teamspeak channel for us. That would allow us the ability to converse, ,eet, and work more closely and collaboratively on the plane over all.. It will also give us a central file server for the development team where we can upload completed files for the other team members to download as the plane moves through its different phases..
 
Speaking only as an eager end user, and not a contributing member to the project I'd just like to say... nice to have you aboard Warchild! :jump:
 
:jump: :applause: Yay! Thanks guys, thank you so much! I don't know if I can express as much through words as what I actually feel, that my favorite air tanker may finally have digital wings to fly in flight sim! Woohoo!

That sounds good, I don't have any way to do teamspeak at this point and I am only able to do little bits of work at a time as my Wife and job take up most of my day.

I am progressing on the landing gear and geting all the parts named so that I can get the pivet points in the right location and get things animated. Sorry for the slow go but I am making progress.
 
Message to dave sent.. :) .. he's more than happy to set up the channel and file repository.
The file repository is easy. its all drag and drop for uploading and double clicking for downloading..
I spoke with Cag Bill, and he's happy to act as an interlocutor and upload files from the browser to you and vice versa while your unable to log on..

Major storm approaching and half the city lost its lights for a moment so gonn get off the puter for now.. see you mannana :) :) ..
