Just wanted to "YO!" and find out what you've up to.

Sorry I've been MIA for a little while but the world of homebuying ain't no cakewalk I'm finding out.

Wait'll you refinance.

Or the roof leaks.

Or the toilet floods.

Or the boiler bites the dust.

And still have to take the garbage out.

LOL, the roof is already leaking! That's been one of the headaches we've been going back and forth on!

Egad!

First thing you learn is never talk to the company selling the house talk witha different company and let them make the deal.

What Have I been up to...
Made a FPF_FCA
Made a Pres_FCA

Made a FPF_Excel

And have 4 Ironcross variants in the works.
Made a new deflector for it (getting approval from WZ45 as it uses one of his textures in it) and some other small changes that will end up on a Voy version. Currently in a FPF, Green, Red, and Yellow I have it ready for TMS I also have a excel aztec pattern on the secondary hull and new deflector for it just need to finish some textures on the top of the secondary hull to give it more towards an Excel look. Then I have to finish a more sov look for the secondary hull with the new Deflector for the VOY version.

Since I only spend one-hour a day on this stuff it is taking awhile to do. Once I finish them up will try my hand at some registries for them. Once I get that done I will see if the IronCross can be released. Right now they are all in the full size files so this means they will kill you on a modem. It also means you have to catch me on MSN for a transfer. I can reduce them later but have not gotten to that point yet.

Trying registries because I went out and bought Paint Shop Pro 8 and now have to learn it.

Decided to stop the Sov textures for the top. WZ gave his premissions for the deflector and I stopped there, So my last personal project is looking at the Beklap to see if it can be redone to new textures and to work out how to do the registries.

So what were you looking for?

Captain (Ron that is) on the bridge!

The Belknap sounds cool. A nice ship to work on. Not sure what you mean by "Decided to stop the Sov textures for the top" though.

What I was looking for was an evil looking Galahad Class. Red nacelle glows, deflector and replacing the other blue textures with red as well. And the hull a darker grey. In my imagination it look good, but in reality who knows?

Think I might know a way to short cut that one, with a little layering i might not have to actually clean up and then retexture it. The real work is when I have to clean it up in order to change out the textures. I put a TNG aztec pattern on the secondary hull of the IronCross, then changed the top part the goes between the neck and the engines to that of the Excel as well. I was working on making a Sov style Black with lt. Gray details to that area but decidedd i don't have that amount of time, as it was the last thing that was delaying me (WZ actually approved the deflector in a matter of hours, I thought it might take a day or two). Once that happened I decided I had done enough for that model which has 4 colours with a TMP, TNG, and Sov style deflectors (not to mention the fact the TMP, and TNG Deflectors are in custom colours and standard).

Now I get ya!

And thanks for looking into the Galahad. That's really cool of you!
