Works In Progress and Schedule

[gman5250]

I thought I would post up some info about my works in progress and real world itinerary.

I'll be very busy with my move out of California for the next two weeks. The actual move date is around the 23rd of this month, but I'm not sure how long it will take to get satellite installed at the new digs. If I go dark for a couple of weeks, it is because of the move.

I've been devoting most of my time to the re-model and getting packed, so the WIP projects have only gotten early AM attention. The C-47 is pretty well up and running, so now I can get back to my works in progress, which include the F-7F VC, the Abrams P-1 Explorer and a project I took on about three months ago.

I haven't been able to devote much time to the new project, so I haven't posted any pics. I did take a few days to get a flying model completed with animations and new UVW mapping. Once I get the studio set up after the move I'll be starting the interior model and VC. This is Matt Ivey's exterior model, so the finished airplane will be a collaboration between Matt and myself. Matt provided an exquisite model to use as a foundation, but I'll be expanding things from this point. The model will be FSX, FSX_SE and P3D compatible with all the bells, whistles and eye candy included.

The possibilities for Buffalo skins will be endless, so I'll be including a comprehensive PK as well.

The pilot figure is a place holder courtesy of Milton Shupe and Jan Visser. Animation by me.

At this stage, the model is a flying "buck". I'll be adding bumps, spec and other bits once I get the final modeling completed and UVW mapped. That said, it is definitely worth showing at this stage.
