I agree with you Greg, whatever floats your boat.... I just spent £500 on archery equipment, I don't NEED a Yamaha FJR when a £50 bicycle would get me to work just as well (and fitter, probably) and I sometimes buy plastic kits just because they are fantastic things to look at and build. Exactly...

Check out Flight Simulator Design Studio from Abacus Publications, just gone to version 3. There was a thread on this before: http://www.cardmodels.net/forum/showthread.php?t=834 with a few other links. Tim P (wunwinglow)

Quite a few aircraft have anhedral, or, like the Stuka and F4U, both, or like the B25 and a lot of gliders, are gull-winged, with the inner portion going up, outer panels down, or level! Another notable feature of ekranoplans is the MASSIVE tail surfaces. The change of pitch trim is huge over...

Read Nicholas Monsarrats 'The Cruel Sea', or watch the film, if you need some inspiration! Tim P

Nope. Gonna put a proper set of steam turbines in it! Go one up on this guy... http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/mandm/PT103mod.htm wun

Nope, should be fine! http://www.kipperboxes.co.uk/rhino_tutorials/trimmed wing.3dm In fact a simple shape, product of a loft between two sections, THEN trimmed as you require, is a far more reliable method of getting a complex shape than trying to build it up from seperate little scraps...

Don't project the lines onto your surface and then unroll them, use them to trim the wing surface, then unroll that. If trim won't work, it usually means the lines used to do the trim are badly drawn, one way or another. http://www.kipperboxes.co.uk/rhino_tutorials/wing01.gif...

Am I first in the queue?! Back in line, you lot!! Tim P

Kryten? http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/deck06/images/image_bank/8-17l.jpg Sm........! Sme............! Sme...........! Fans of Red Dwarf will understand. Tim P

Any in the UK see that TV prog on the LDV/Home Guard earlier in the week? Ist part of three, I gather. Lesson one. Stopping Panzers with dinner plates. Lay them on the road, with a handful of leaves on top. Fritz has to stop and check they are not mines, at which point you pelt him with molotov...

Barry, I'll have the curry if you don't want it... Tim P

Ash and all, as someone who occasionally puts tutorials together, they are difficult to pitch sometimes, and know how much 'direction' to put into it. Does the writer assume the reader will know how to use a mouse, for example, or how to save a file? Generally you will be able to work out...

Depends where you are at learning how to use Rhino. There are lots of other tutorials on the web for free, so maybe it would worth spending some time doing those (or as many as you want to do!!) as well as the tutorials that come with the program. The rhino website www.rhino3d.com has a huge...

In Rhino, on the Help menu is an item called 'Command List'. Set aside an evening and just wander through the listings; you will find it is the mother load! Each command is listed (most of them, anyway, there are some other hidden gems...) complete with all its scripting commands, buttons, and...

Ho Ho! Exactly! I used to get really cheesed off with Illustrator and Photoshop users (usually Mac users, by the way!) who sneered at anything else, especially if it was on a PC! Same when I was a photgrapher; the arguments between Canon or Nikon or Olympus fans: I deliberately bought a Russian...

Micheal, my Paypal account is already light by $32!! What a Christmas present! To myself!!! Wahooo! Thanks Micheal, and do thank Artur as well> Tim P

Thanks Matthias, I'll do a file cull when I get home. I've spent meny an evening getting thoroughly whipped playing Combat Mission, but in that game the models are hard-coded; you can only change the bitmaps for in-game modding. The thread about Flight Simulator Design Studio should give the...

Hi Matthias, which 99.5% of the download can we discard? I just did the download/extract thing and my HD is groaning a bit! Thanks! (I might just go out and buy the game; MORE distractions!!) Tim P

NOBI, a man of your 'calibre' (geddit??!! Joke!!) could surely knock up a decent Tiger in ten minutes!! OK, maybe a couple of days, but I'm sure it would look a lot better at 1:35 than these simple meshes. However, this is excellent stuff for smaller scale models! I recall in the 1960's and...
