Prowler

Post by aerogator »

Hey guys,
I had to take a break from the Talon for little while. (new info showed I had LOTS of probs with the wing location and the lower fuse, which entailed LOTS of changes in the landing gear, etc) So... I've been fooling around with this some. I haven't even looked at wing folding, landing gear, etc. and I am definitely going to finish the T38 first, but we just needed some time apart :D .
I won't be able to access the net probably until Sunday (11/26) but thought y'all might want something to talk about (or get a laugh-this is a big bite to take) over the weekend.

Better than I can do. I tried to do a Cheyenne attack copter (anyone remember that bird?) in Gmax but I gave upon it. It looked a heap of crud!

Hey guys,

I was able to pop-up for a few minutes to see what's going on. (I'm on someone else's dial-up :x ) Thanks for the support. I have been able to work on the Talon some so I hope iT will be better. I usually can take my laptop with me. BTW, great to see a new package! :D

Very cool!

I was thinking about this model just the other day wondering what had happened to it.

Nick, I don't throw nothin' away :lol:. I may lose things though because of all the junk I accumulate :lol: .

I'm going to start working on some textures soon so will post when a little further along.

Thanks for the kind words.

As promised, here are some pics with a little paint on it. (obviously I'm not a painter :oops:)

Majic Mike if you're out there I like to send you a model to see if you can get it to quit jumping all over the place.

Hi Jake

Any news on the Prowler? Would be a great addition to any Navy package.

BTW, your T-38's are superb. Good job.

Thanks Lewis, for the kind words :D . Most of the credit for the Talon goes to Weescotty. He was the driving force in making the necessary corrections, which were many, and getting the thing finished.

The Prowler has been on the back burner. I'm concentrating on the B-52 right now. I hope she's getting close to the LOD stage which for me slows things down a good bit.

Here's a screenie of the latest on the prowler though:
