Hey guys,As some of you might be aware, I've turned in my captain's hat for a paintbrush for a bit and got inspired when I read Mike's message talking about this next mini-session.Being the curious person I am, when he mentioned Lloyd Aereo Boliviano (LAB) airlines, I went out to airliners.net and found this pic:http://www.airliners.net/open.file/304193/L/(if the link is down, don't worry, airliners.net has been flakey since I started painting a few days ago...not a good sign!) So I asked myself..."Could I paint that thing and have it ready before this event so all the guys could fly a local bird (and a change of pace from the mainstream airlines)?" Sadley, I won't have it ready by tomorrow. :( I've only been painting for a few days now, and still have alot to learn...but this is what I completed so far:http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/DCForumID47/17112.htmlI promise the next time we have a South American fly-in, this bird will be in the AVSIM library! :)Regards,Steve Dra

Steve,That looks very nice. I also checked out your first repaint, an Austrian Airlines, and I was very impressed; you are very talented and I really can't believe that was your first attempt.Maybe I can impose on you to do a fictional Continental 763??? :-)

Steve???????Wow - ya done fine job for a good ol boy from aLaner!

Thanks Mike!Yeah, down here we would phrase it "Y'all done good" (remembering the "Y'all" is singular and "all Y'all" is plural) :-lolIts too bad I won't have her ready for general distribution before tonight's event...but maybe I'll fly her to see how she handles! I've been flying little MD's for a while now and will have to get used to the big girl again. :)Here's a shot I took of her during a quick circuit around Miami:http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3e54c508520ba7b9.jpgI'm posting a few more pics over in the screenshot forum later.Look forward to see'in ya tonight somewhere over South America!Regards,Steve Dra
