Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Many happy returns Otto!

MW2 gets my vote also. Assassin's Creed isn't far off either.

The HMS Gordon Brown set sail today from its home port of Skegness . The ship is the first of its kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to Prime Minister Brown for his foresight in military budget cuts and his conduct while Prime Minister. The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminium and is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots. It boasts an arsenal comprised of one (unarmed) F14 Tomcat or one (unarmed) F18 Hornet aircraft which, although they cannot be launched or captured on the 100 foot flight deck, form a very menacing presence. As a standing order there are no firearms allowed on board. The 20 person crew is completely diversified, including members of all races, creeds, sex, and sexual orientation. This crew, like the crew aboard the Severn Ferry, is specially trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all enemies of Britain at all costs! An on - board Type One DNC Universal Translator can send out messages of apology in any language to anyone who may find Britain offensive. The number of apologies are limitless and though some may seem hollow and disingenuous, the Navy advises all apologies will sound very sincere. The ship's purpose is not defined so much as a unit of national defence, but instead in times of conflict, the HMS Gordon Brown has orders to seek refuge in Blackpool. The ship may be positioned near the Labour Party Headquarters for photo - ops. The Browns should be very proud. Anyone else see this happening in the near future? Yeah, me too!

How exactly? Apart from a re-spray, it looks very similar to the original FRS.51 nose... http://www.airliners.net/photo/India---Navy/British-Aerospace-Sea/0810252/L/

That will probably depend on which plane you are making... Also like you have said, cockpit blueprints are unfortunately not very common in public domain.

What a pair of absolute tools... http://uk.news.yahoo.com/22/20091224/tts-uk-usa-balloon-ca02f96.html

You got a purty mouth...

Tornado radome paint worked well for making parade shoe toecaps well protected and shiny when I was in Air Cadets. Also, Grolsch beer bottle rubber seals are great as guitar strap locks.

A picture of this bird from the same location appeared earlier this year, however this is the first decent snap of it out in public... http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/the-dewline/2009/12/kandahars-loch-ness-mystery-pl.html Looks similar to the Polecat.

The cat's out of the bag... http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/blogs/defense/index.jsp?plckController=Blog&plckBlogPage=BlogViewPost&newspaperUserId=27ec4a53-dcc8-42d0-bd3a-01329aef79a7&plckPostId=Blog:27ec4a53-dcc8-42d0-bd3a-01329aef79a7Post:649e3cf4-8c07-4739-82cf-322c6c56ccd5&plckScript=blogScript&plckElementId=blogDest

For this aircraft... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=1807 This is the template... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=1820 And additional layers with instructions for integration... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=1822 http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=1809 You will need one of the programs listed above to read and write .psd files.

We get the same type of scumbags over here. Hang the lot of them. On a different note, I'll bet he gets a tonne more support than those other house owners if he has to go to court.

James May does great documentaries, besides being on Top Gear. Here's the full program about his U-2 flight... Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N05NXotFvFs Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hoX_tffeN0 Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2MhQWVsZeU

Happy birthday matey! Hope you have a good one!

Don't mean to be intrusive or rude, which company did you used to be with and who did you change to?

Hunter or Spit. Any day.

I found those two very easy, it was some of the triangle ones with the equidistance point that got me.

Here's how I make my aluminium in Photoshop... Create a new file, with whatever dimensions you want, set the background to transparent. Make a new layer on top of this so you have two active layers, both transparent. Then, using the colour palette, select two different greys, one dark and one light. Something like these: Now with the dark grey selected as the foreground colour, fill the bottom layer using the Paint Bucket Tool. Now hit "x" to swap the background and foreground colours, so that the light grey is the foreground colour. Now fill the top layer with the light grey using the same tool again. Should be like this... With the bottom layer selected and the top layer invisible, go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise and using roughly the following settings: Now make the top layer visible and select it. Go and add the same Noise filter to this layer using the same settings as the last one. Once this is done, again, make the top layer invisible, and select the bottom layer. This time go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur and use the following settings. (Note - the direction is key in which way you want the "brushed" effect of the aluminium to be. Usually, this is horizontal, so a direction of 0 works just fine.) The bottom layer should now look like this: Go ahead and apply the same Motion Blur filter with the same settings to the top layer. Now comes the part where you want to blend the layers together a little bit. I have found that changing the blending mode of the top layer to "Overlay" works okay: You can play with the opacities to fine tune it to achieve different types and grades of aluminium. You can always take this slightly further by going ahead and applying a texture on top of what you have just created. This may give it a more realistic appearance. Copy a metal texture aluminium (I now get all of mine from http://www.cgtextures.com (thanks Julhelm)) into a new layer on top of the two existing layers: Now you can play with the blending mode and opacity a bit to make it look a bit better:

I think you need to actually read the description of the video before posting. It is clearly labelled as a montage of both Allied and German footage. Besides, who said anything about just one camera operator?
