Those are great! look real to me...my sons play with those Knex ..looks like something they might build..and thats a good thing.. Michael

I'll really want to see more as you progress...looking very cool... Michael

Thank you Julian, much appreciated and much needed.... Michael

Nice looking coffee pot....I have to have a cup or two before I go to work, Michael

I would like to thank Seven for all he has done to help me by the way of this forum to learn and understand AM , he has been of great help. So, Seven, if your out there ,Thank you, and I have missed your tutorials.....I wish you the best , Michael Cossey

Thanks Scott, nice model ,youve really done a nice job with it, I may just have to make a 3d remake of Jaws with that one... Michael

Coming along just great Jay, nice effect there... Michael

With the NEw Joda pluging and the other AM capabilities it looks like a physics simulator, wait a minute ,it is....... Love it John, Michael

Jay, That is a good looking hand gun,can really make it out nicely in the mov file, nide textures too. Could only get the rifle picture (last one) to show and it looks like its a part of a matching pair to the hand gun, nice touch, I like it. But next Id be asking for to see them guns posed with a human/alien model to get an even better perspective of the guns usage Michael

I like, I like.....keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing an animation of it sometime.. Michael

Looks really great!!! hope you find a way to post your animation, won't Hash put it on their animation site? looking forward to more, Michael

thejobe, I cant tell anything from the wireframe only picture...LOL.....but yes the cargo bay doors open , the top half opens up and the bottom half (ramp) opens down, so you can lapes (Low altitude parachute extraction system) drop or jump out..... Rodney, Thanks for the links, they do a mighty fine job on those models too. Michael

WF..not sure why Im posting this one......

Thejobe, Thanks for the compliment, Here are some Wire Frames that will reveal so so modeling technics....

Rodney, Hummm....8 years of maintaining them for me ,2 years in Germany, 2 years Little Rock, 2.5 years Tucson,Az, the rest was schooling.(78 to 85). I thought of looking to see if there was a camo (green or desert) material, possiably decals (I hate flattening) otherwise grey or two tone commercial. I purchased 2 plastic c-130 models and a c-130 pictorial book to help me along with the modeling..not to mention all the pictures I could find while googleing, couldnt rely on my memory.....smile. Further info: The landing gear assys will retract, Flaps,rudders,elevators and ailerons will work via pose sliders (I already have the landing gears, flaps etc etc modeled in), and the engine oil cooler flaps will function too. a sprite particle emitter for each exhaust....Doors (x3) and cargo doors open and close..and of course the props will rotate and pitch. (The cargo area windows will be transparency maps at first) The crew comparment is mostly finished with panels decaled, modeled rudder pedals, flight yokes, throttle lever, prop levers,flap controls...INFO OVERLOAD..must stop here... And all just for fun,even though I wanted to hold off showing it until I was finished and had it animated. Michael

Id normally say send it to the Hash team but their pretty busy with v12 release. It looks like it might be a small model file and maybe someone on the board might chime in and take a look...so go ahead and post the model ,I maight look see myself but no gaurantees, Im no pro, you can open the file up in a txt reader and look ,at leat just for familiarization with the file structure of a model.. Michael

Patrick, the windows are modeled in, and (not connected) frame sections devide some of the windows . I'll post a WF ,but it may not be until tommorrow. You guys can have any seat you want, I worked on those pigs in real life, and had my fill of flying in them and run testing them. I always thought they looked cool though........ Michael

The tunnel is very cool..would like to see an animated run down the tunnel, The Gun Id like to see at different angles to geta better idea of its use. Michael

My latest modeling attempt...it is a WIP....and hopefully will be very detailed when finished Michael

Thanks for taking a look Rodger.....Its a shell of an aircraft model Im doing...it doesnt look so bad after I have added a few other details to the outside, Michael
