Yeah, heard about that potential law to ban fox hunting across the UK. It almost sounded like a boxing promotion: House of Commons vs. the House or Lords. Interesting stuff.

Erm, it's not 'potential' ever since 1947 IIRC (mabe wrong on the year) the second Parliament Act was passed which meant the House of Lords could only veto a law for one session of Parliament (1 year) then if it gets through the Commons the next year it only needs the royal assent and they can bypass the Lords completely. It's only meant to be used for real emergencies but these facking socialist gimps of Labour are using it on a whim. Really I couldn't care less about fox hunting - they can still hunt them with horses, only now they actually have to do the killing themselves, with their rifles and that. Makes it more of a manly sport IMO. What I'm opposed to in this is them invoking the Parliament Act for these bloody animal rights hippies. This shows why Labour can't be trusted to run the country without some kind of constitution to keep them in check.

Now that's really interesting. I don't know much about the political system there in England, so maybe I'd better do some reading. Would like to live there for a year or so, and knowing how things work might help.

Hmm, well unlike in the US the government can't tread all over us, there's the odd case of pressure groups like animal rights campaigners getting this or that thing banned, and don't try to own a car - this country persecutes the motorist like Bush persecute free thinkers. But for the most part the government can't interfere too much with the average person, they always hold referendums for everything out of a paralysing fear of losing elections, technically the government can make or unmake any law as they see fit - one of the more absurd examples I remember in my lectures is they could make it illegal to smoke in Paris - completely pointless and unenforceable but they could pass an act like that, the only check on the British govt. is that if they upset public opinion everyone will do a protest vote at the next election and kick them out - like what happened to the Conservatives in the early 90s.

P.S. It's not the English political system, it's the British one, the Westminster Parliament legislates for the whole country, though they've delegated some small authority to the Northern Ireland Parliament, the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly, but that's only in minor unimportant areas of law and those areas are far from autonomous.

Bump. Any word, Thu11? I've really been looking forward to these.

Thu11s · « **Reply #30 on:** December 13, 2004, 05:35:59 pm »

Update, ok...

VF-1

VF-31

VF-41

VF-84

VF-101

VF-111

VF-142

not to mention incoming reinforcements..

Sorry it taking so long. Took longer than expected to fully sort out my hosting issues. Add to that a car that has needed a complete new exhaust and petrol tank as well as other bits for its MOT on Thursday (all done by me $:-\$ ) AND HL2 and you can see where my time goes

but, F18 mesh is kinda done and the A10 is looking a bit basic. Still to start texturing the Klink Z-1, but I haven't given up

Off for 2 weeks over Xmas, so fingers crossed

Looks great! Thanks for the update.

Any chance for the F-111 to get a jamming pod (like the airplane)?

Petrol tanks?

I thought they were SPACEships!

Hexx · « **Reply #33 on:** December 13, 2004, 08:18:11 pm »

Anyone have a link or pic of the Z1( or the Lyran version)?

I love the Fed ones, but all I can see for the Z1's are those annoying little red X's..

Don't worry Thu, R/L always takes precedence over this little hobby we call SFC (as hard as that is, heheh). Btw, I'm curious what MOT and HL2 are, some sort of tests for emmisions standards? We have the same thing here in the US, the stringency of which is set by the state you live in, IIRC (I live in California, with some of the toughest standards around). But I digress...

Great looking stuff! I love the different schemes you've come up with for the various squadrons, that really makes the whole design. Btw, I noticed that the third pic down (VF-41) has a 101 on each side of the cockpit, I was wondering if this was meant to go on the fifth one down (VF-101).

Also (and I think I already asked this, sorry), are you going to have "blank" fighters for those of us that would like to add our own squadron numbers and patches?

Oooh, those "reinforcments" look mean!

Thu11s · « **Reply #36 on:** December 14, 2004, 02:16:59 pm »

Erm, the MOT is the yearly vehicle road worthy test all vehicles over 3 years old have to take in the UK. It's illegal to drive car without one, but that doesn;t stop some people. Also invalidates your insurance if its expired.

HL2? Half Life 2, all I can say is Grav gun and circular saw's is hellish fun

I know the 101 doesn;t appear on the VF101 squadron but thats the number the F14 in the picture I had for the VF41 squadron had on it, more than that, no idea. Also have to remember the texture is mirrored over both halves of the hull (top down) so anything except 1, 0 or 8 would look odd

Yep, blank textures will be included. I'll probably release both blank BMP's as well as blank PSD;s that have the areas to line up the textures with (be much easier else you'll be painting in the dark!)
