Sundowner

Just a couple of pics for now m8. . These are my usual "go to" references.

He still "Tweets" on twitter...

So far I've only been able to find 1 photo that actually shows a Shrike being carried during the war although they were commonly used, normal standard load out of 1 Shrike on each inboard pylon + 2 wing tanks & 2 Sparrows in the rear wells. Mk 80 Rockeye appears to be after Yom Kippur from what I'm seeing. I'll keep digging m8.

I'll have a look m8....

That photograph was just an airshow static loadout, rockets and aim9 were never carried together operationally.

I just paint my roads onto the tiles as needed using layers in photoshop, once you get the knack of getting them to join up correctly it really doesn't take too long to do. So far in my Vietnam terrain I have between 15 and 25ish different road tiles for each type of surface.....grass, forest, fields etc etc, the stock ones are way to repetitive for my liking. I never use the TE.....it's waaaaaaayyyyy to much hassel for my simple mind, just paint 'em in PS & load 'em the the good old TFD tool & the jobs done......Then I make the TOD's to suit using Mue's superb Tod editor. Same goes for rivers, not rocket science really.

Dusk on the Delta..... 400+ tiles on this terrain & I haven't even started the Mangrove swamps yet.

Just out for a nice day in the countryside.......

Some "new" E's I'm working on...... Rebuilt/remapped model, new SUU-23/A gunpod also, not up to Ravenclaw standards but better than stock......for me anyway. No decals on any of these birds.....just because I cant be bothered to make em

I got all the WAPJ volumes after they were published, got them from various airshows over a period of time, all brand new from £3 to £6 each.. Same with the Wings of Fame series really apart from the hardback one( Which was also my first one ) which was a gift from my sister.....she found it in a charity shop for £1 , the rest were from shows around £4 each..... I got really lucky with the IAPR volumes, found them on ebay (15 volumes ) for £20 delivered, still need to get the rest but I've not seen any in my price range....yet. I've always been a bookworm & spent silly amounts of money on whatever I've been intrested in at the time, be it American cars, trucks, military vehicles......the list goes on & on only to sell them all ridiculously cheap when my intrests changed.........I wont be doing that again.. I only have 50-100 pdf type books, mainly flight manuals & stuff like that, cant beat real paper in your hands.. You can NEVER have too many books.

Is it just me ? What are your main areas of intrest? What does your collection say about you ? As I have about another 70-100 in boxes in my loft my collection says I need more space.....

Thanks for your continued work on this.

I dont use Gimp but is there an option to change Hue/Saturation etc ? This is how I change individual colours in photoshop when changing a euro green lets say to a desert sand type colour........If that makes sense

Keeping the Vietnam theme going.....

Who doesn't like ponies........

That's the problem nowadays.....some one will release something they should'nt or they get passed on to one of the "look at MY work" types that are around here ....not you btw. I don't have DCS so I wont be making anything I've worked on available for it......just personal choice.

Definitely Paco and Wpnssgt are the original authors of the model. I have the max files along with most of Mikes stuff.

I think a 2 sided mesh can cause this.......might be worth checking.

Who ya gonna call....??? "GUNFIGHTERS"..

A few from Da Nang & the surrounding area. Is that Monkey Mountain in the background...?? Marble Mountain Marine Air Facility ....still wip. Da Nang Airbase 1967...ish.... Still wip.....but life would be a lot easier with a TOD editor.....or if I could get to grips the Terrain editor..

Random shot time.....

Superb.....I've been waiting for these...

20 years??? Bloody hell where has that gone? Thank you Erik..
