Gil, shame on you!!! I thought making stuff that won't be seen was a very important aspect of modelmaking! How many times have you heard modellers say 'Ah, but I KNOW it there, even if you can't see it!' ? Loads of times.... Almost as many times as I have said, 'I'll get on with that bit when...

Thanks Thomas, appreciate this a lot! I am still a bit mystified why you use AutoCAD etc, when Rhino has plenty of line drawing commands. I Use Rhino and Coreldraw alone. Tim Perry

Defference appreciated. In return, I won't mention the fact that the price of AIM 9L Sidewinders from our Colonial Cousins went up by 200% just as our Harrier pilots REALLY needed them. wunwinglow

Wow, that means he'll be passing (flying over?).............. BRISTOL! Well, if he wants to drop me off a beta copy on the way, I'd be a very happy bunny! Tim P

Ooo Micheal, you are spoiling us!! Can you put a CD aside with my name on it, please? Thankyou! Tim P

Hi Barry, neat work, keep it up! One thing, I got a nasty pop-up from your image hosting outfit. Took Task Manager to shut it down. No such thing as a free lunch..... Tim P

Yes of course, but that is basic geometry. This tutorial wasn't intended as a primer for that! If you wanted a better-looking circle, you could either orientate the circle to be projected so that it was parallel, or nearer so, to the surface and project or extrude it. Simpler solution would be...

Panel Lines in Rhino Here is a short tutorial on creating accurate panel lines on unrolled surfaces using Rhinoceros software. Firstly, prepare your model part. Here is a short section of fuselage created by doing a straight loft between a circle and an elipse. Lofting gives us this...

Hm, depends. Rhino 3 is much better at unrolling surfaces than Rhino 2, so you can easily cut up the panels using planes or lines projected onto the surfaces. The unrolled panels can then be reassembled into the panel you want to cut out of paper. Alternatively, if the panel line is parallel (...

Hm..... I see now. I would have thought a twin fin arrangement, with the bulk of the fin area below the tailplane would have been a better solution. Although The Vultee Vengeance originally had a twin tail (as the Stuka, come to think of it) and they all quickly reverted to conventional tails...

Good grief!! I am just thankful the Nazi's wasted so much time, effort and resources on wacky madness like this, instead on concentrating on a handful of sensible designs!! Tim P

I think we are looking at a Luftwaffe night fighter of some sort.... Tim P

Wow. 6 mouse clicks and a password, and my order is placed! Isn't the Internet a wonderful place!! Thanks Team Gremir, looking forward to getting this one. The build thread has been an inspiration. Tim P

Interesting point. A ships natural environment is in the water, so I would probably build waterline, not full hull. Seeing it full-hull means it is in drydock, that means it is broken, and not going anywhere! I remember an old modelmaking friend who was also an F-111 crewman, saying he hated...

Are you guys MAD!??? NOBI, don't even look inside to cover! You start this ship, and we will not see another model design from you for months! Or even years!!! Put it away in a cupboard somewhere, or under a big pile of books, but DON'T start it! No, Ive got an even better idea! Send it to...

... and here's the link. Thanks for the plug, Rick! http://www.kipperboxes.co.uk/html/lct_mk_4.html Tim P

Barry, call in at your local Jessops camera shop (there are three in Brighton!) and get some of their Inkjet Protective Spray, in three finishes, gloss, matt and satin. Product codes are GEPUSG300, GEPUSM300 and GEPUSS300 respectively. Page 97 of their current giveaway catalogue. The matt works...

Yup, I've been a bit distracted recently; but I hadn't realized it was for so long! Apologies, seasons greetings and Happy New Year to everyone, Tim P (the P stands for procrastinator, remember....)

I can hear some smart-alec saying " They all look the same to me...." Tim P PS Whatever, I want one! I just bought a Saumarez too, so advertising and promotions do work!!

River class? Tim P
