Ghostrider,

 

Yep, she's quite the old lady. I've found some nice shots of her in Indian service which are useful for some details. I imagine that keeping her going must be quite a job.

 

The current upgrade would keep her going until 2015 & may be a 3-4 years beyond. But only with a small number(six) of air-worthy of Sea Harriers FRS.51s,which are undergoing upgradation left, I wonder how long will the INS Viraat keep going. By 2015, The Navy would have INS Vikrant & INS Vikramaditya as its two a/c carriers.

A few more bits and pieces added, but been pondering details of her island in 1968, some of which are rather obscure...........

Great stuff!

 

Will that bloke be standing next to the wire on the finished ship?

 

Only if he's an idiot.

Might not look as though much has been done............................ but the island comes along (after a couple of weeks working on other projects).

I love their model ships Hinchinbrook sir.

Be very good if they add that they can climb Elevators and moving ... ..

You could also add to crew their ships.

 

 

Let me show you some ADONS place on 25 De Mayo...

Suicidal,

 

Are you using the old 'catapult' trick to place objects on the flight deck............ or something else?

 

Agreed, it would be nice to place all sorts of things........ crew members, tractors, etc........... but then the poly count goes up so much.

 

I'm thinking of putting a few basic tractors, etc., along with my 'stick' crew members on Hermes, when she's done.

No. .. I am sincere

I Do not know the old trick of the catapult

To put objects on the flight deck ...

Are actually placed Adons in the aircraft carrier

very similar to the aircraft.

 

but then the poly count goes up so much.

 

I solve the problem of the high use of graphics and other cars without mapping and skins ...

I would just put a color and materials for all bace

All models are also very low polymères although it may seem otherwise
