I Can Haz new Aviator

Post by Fairportfan »

"Nose art", huh?

If i start feeling really energetic, i may colour it.

What colour is Phix's hair?

(Now that i've thought about it a bit, this would be better, i think, on the nose of a P38 than of a bomber, given the different operational profiles and the feel of the pose.)

I'd say it looks nice, but I'd be lying... then again, I'd also be lying if I said it didn't look nice...

All it looks like, to me, is a broken link... :roll:

Weird. Both images are on my own webhosting, and i can see them both clearly. Just a minute...

Pretty sure the problem's either at your end or in between, since i can see the images on my monitor in both Opera and Firefox, and on my tablet (hooked into our home network by wifi (but not through my computer) and on my phone over 3G...

OTOH, i'm not 100% sure if my hosting is (eventually) through GoDaddy or not (i hope note), but GoDaddy had a pretty big outage today.

Try again.

I've seen them both OK here, each time I've looked at this thread.

P-38 has always been one of my favorite aircraft. Looks good with Phix!

Notice i had to re-cut the lettering to fit when i made the image big enough to look good.

(That's a font called "handrot" that i made from my own handwriting that i used for Phix's name, BTW)
