Hi Guys.

I'm still working away on this update, but my right hand is giving me so much grief, I can only work for short periods each day.I'm remapping the new wing I have, and I now have the entire lower surface done, and I'm doing the top now, so here is light at the end of the tunnel.

Once I've finished mapping,then I can add the flaps, to the wing, before duplicating the right, and adding the insert codes for the gear.

In the old days this would have been a weeks work, but this could take me to Christmas to finish, with luck.

Hi John,

Feel for you about the hand, as I fell and impaled my right hand on a broken milk bottle last February. I have limited use and nerve damage,and the good old NHS is being as slow as ever - referred to a plastic surgeon in June and will be lucky to see him in February 2010, so lord knows when they will have a shot at fixing it, if ever.

Take your time - I am sure it will be worth it. Assume you got the PM I sent you a while ago?

Cheers

Peter

I've added the prop, which is using the single painted disk type, rather than using lots of elements. Now to add action codes to the flaps, finalize the mapping, and get the landing gear finished.

Looking great John! The 3dz detail you have gone to on this is amazing - love the wing roots and wheel wells, and the nose actually looks curved smile It's amazing how far you guys keep pushing the boundaries - S! All the best for the finishing touches.
