View from the porthole of an LC-130 at 60 degrees south, heading to Mcmurdo.

Not sure if I like it yet. What do you think?

Yeah...never be shy of improving on a model's little inadequacies:

Good work on trying something different! You can find all sorts of things when you start shifting the viewpoint around in a model...

Ian, yes round windows are a must... Squares or points in the frame focus stress and things go downhill from there - just ask de Havilland about their Comet sad.gif
