AIRCRAFT - Civil Aviation Group Build, 8/21/2004 to 12/21/2004

Frank,

The blur effect really came out well indeed, as did the Cessna!! The whole project looks very realistic.

Still, I doubt the pilot's ability to grease it in. He seems distracted.

In fact, I was feeling so embolden when we returned to the airport, the two in the back got out and Lisa ask them to go in the office and see if they have a bathroom..... when they disappeared through the door, OUR door closed, I started Nine Zero Hotel back up, and Lisa got a complimentary ride because she was my 100th passenger.... ummmm... no, because every 3rd Saturday we give away one.... ummm... no, I did it because I thought we needed a little time to put our heads in the clouds before saying goodbye..... anyhow, I greased 'er in (no pun intended) extremely well when we returned from our excursion.... maybe it was due more to me being stupid and showing off a little...... distracted... indeed!

Thank you for your kind words and take good care.

Hi,

As requested, I have posted the technique in creating a convincing "speed-blur" for your model display base.... go to:

Take care,

Well, we're a month into the GB, how's the projects coming along?

I am finishing up a Revell 1/570th Titanic for my daughter (which was promised a year ago but put off), and then I'll be starting the Aero Commander and Staggerwing. I figured I'll have to do them both at the same time, or I won't have time to squeeze in the J-3 before the end date.

Sadly, Kevin has dropped out due to time and access constraints, but still looking forward to seeing his "140" when it comes to life, and hope to be seeing some of the others updates soon.

Take care,
Frank
