| I've been fiddling with a computer model of a B-17G I found online. The intention is to be able to add it to the Virtual Deenethorpe model at some point.<br/> <br/> I've worked out how to add the right markings:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/skupfort1.jpg' /><br/> <br/> Now to replace the fuselage insignia, correct a few things like the horizontal stabilisers and ball turret, and give it an identity. How does IW-J sound Ed?<br/> <br/> All the best,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>

| Why... what a BRILLIANT choice, Paul! &#x1f609;<br/> <br/> Looks good so far, but... is it me, or does the tail gun look a little to "pinched" towards the end? <br/><br/><a href='/p2769.ashx'><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/wmSig401st150p.gif' /></a><br/> <br/>

| Yes, it is a bit tight.<br/> <br/> I've just added a proper spherical ball turret and the waist windows, so will probably do the tail next.<br/> <br/> TTFN,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>

| Thanks Don.<br/> <br/> I got fed up fiddling with the tail and fuselage profile in the original model, so I deleted them and started again:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/skupfort2.jpg' /><br/> <br/> I've built a Cheyenne tail, as it's easier. &#x1f609;<br/> <br/> Now to work out how to build the nosecone again.... oops.<br/> <br/> EDIT:<br/> Nosecone bashed together after a fashion, and a clone of the model in olive drab, just to see how it looked:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/skupfort3.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/skupfort4.jpg' /><br/> <br/> (Yes, I know I haven't changed the colours of the wing triangle..... &#x1f609; )<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>

| Makin' good progress, Paul.<br/> <br/> Just out of curiousity, what format is the model in?<br/> <br/> Ed. <br/><br/><a href='/p2769.ashx'><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/wmSig401st150p.gif' /></a><br/> <br/>

| Ed,<br/> <br/> If you want me to e-mail you a copy of the model just let me know, and what your preferred format is.<br/> I warn you though, it really is as rough as old boots. &#x1f609; It's not to scale, and my modifications to the originaL are all done "by eye".<br/> <br/> All the best,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>

| Naturally, I'd love a copy, but I doubt I'd be able to do too much with it at the moment. Currently, I'm busy "farting" around with annoying technologies like "dot NET..."<br/> <br/> If you send it, can you send it in Lightwave format? I have Lightwave on this machine, although it's been a while since I messed with it and my skills are novice, at best.<br/> <br/> Ed. <br/><br/><a href='/p2769.ashx'><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/wmSig401st150p.gif' /></a><br/> <br/>

| Sorry Ed, <br/> <br/> I don't think I can convert the .skp to a .lwo with the kit I have here.<br/> <br/> uuuurgh, dot.NET.... I've spent the last four days trying to sort out the various issues installing XP SP3 has created, which wasn't helped by my ISP's DNS Servers deciding to shut down......<br/> <br/> Ahhhhh, 'pooters will make life easier for all of us..........  &#x1f644; <br/> <br/> All the best,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>

| Shoot me an email as to what types of file types you can use, I might be able to use one of them.<br/> <br/> Don't get me started on the whole "dot NET" thingee... I'm an old Amiga Geek from way way back, that, therefore, makes me a sworn M$ hater. &#x1f642;<br/> <br/> As to making our lives easier... they do. As long as they don't break down, which they do quite often... stupid computers!<br/> <br/> Ed. <br/><br/><a href='/p2769.ashx'><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/wmSig401st150p.gif' /></a><br/> <br/>
