RE: THE THREAD!!!
Okay here is my project... for the last month or so I've been teaching myself how to do AE aircraft art, and after about ten attempts and a lot of sweat and tears I've completed my first aircraft.
Now it's not that good and not up to Dixie's standard, but it's a start. So here we are; Its a LB-30 from the 98th Bombing Group, which actually served in Europe I think. Also one of my new years resolutions is to talk with Dixie for half and hour, and get all the proper technics and tips from him.

Haven't heard from Des today, after I sent him the 001 combat replay from our first turn. Hope he doesn't take it too hard...
Cheer up, old bean-you should to break even by 1946. Ish.

You know, mate, for a guy who has foresworn parenthood as often as you have, I almost get the idea that you're protesting too much. If you're not going to have kids that's fine-but telling us all the things that are standing in the way of you having kids in detail? Face it, vato, you're doomed-you'll be a dad before you know it. Mark my words. [:)]

Very impressive, Des. Nice work. [8D]
Of course, it would look much better with some 20mm shell holes, greasy flames and smoke sprouting from the wings. But that's just me.

I havent foresworn it, I'm terrified of it. There is a very definite distinction between the two.

You're right. So, do you prefer 'papa', 'daddy' or some Russian derivation for your young 'un?

It's good mate, easily as good as my first attempts. The biggest improvement you can make will be reducing the jagged edges.
What did you use to make it? I use paint.NET, it's got a lot of nice features and is free. The most important thing you can do is learn how to use layers. With those you can do all sorts of nifty stuff. I can sort out a helpful guide if you want, I'm not saying it's the best way to do things but it's my way.

And welcome back Kristian!
BTW, what games / simulations / strategies you play at the moment?
Also was there any luck with job hunting in the meanwhile (we all kept our collective fingers crossed)?
I'm playing a bit of Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer with a couple of close friends, some XCOM, a bit of my AE AI game and some Plague Inc and Spelltower on my iPhone. Not so much energy for gaming at the moment.
RGR! [:D]
As for jobs, I'm currently in a short-term contract office job at a debt collection company.
Good! [:)]
Also, I'm back for reasons I'm not allowed to talk about. Just putting that out there...[:'(]
We shall find out soon enough... [;)]

Winter's got ol' Daneland by the scruff again. About -6 centigrade, windy and a bit of snow. Luvverly.

RE: THE THREAD!!!
Hi all,
We had about +5 degrees Centigrade today with blue skies and sun (about "RealFeel" +15 when directly on sun)... [8D]
But snow is coming in 2 days... we expect at least 30+ cm of snow... [X(]

Beaudy the Wonder Dog says;
Dad got his Sport Cert today and took me up for a ride. Put dog nose marks on the passenger window but hey! Woof! I got tired of hanging out on the ground with a bunch of Navy Ensigns; they were cool and gave me lots of treats, but I wanted to be with Dad and I might have been a bit pissy, as it were.
You can’t believe how cool it was. There I was, sitting in the right seat, and Dad was talking to me the whole time. Ok, on my back, legs up, looking for some love, I’m an airborne dog.
