Yes, I still look around from time to time. There are some amazing builders, FT coders on this site now. I’m doing well, and I hope you are as well. So nice to hear from you. @TheLatentImage
Those were good times. A lot has happened in six years. A new generation of players has come and gone. I’ll give Kevin Murphy a call and get the scoop on SP 2. @Redplatzs
I never really left. I love watching the builds, and marvel how so many young players grew up here with some serious building skills. I think Walrus Jr. and I joined when there were maybe 150 players. @WormWithLegs
This is good. Boost Logic in Austin has this one (same color) in their showroom and it is one of the few that made it in to US before the import ban. I took my Evo there a few years ago for a stage 2 ACT clutch. Neat shop.
Nice job. I had a private tour of the factory before the lockdown. The factory floor is a mile long and you need golf carts to get around. Very cool to watch the birth of a fighter.
Walrus Aircraft is a father /son team. Back when we started playing this was Jr’s plane. He must have been 13 at the time. Now he is a Senior in High school. The memories we made in this game together are amazing, and once in a while we take this plane out to share a few laughs. @metaphysicalgnome
@Yeetmenflyer An update to the game probably has broken this aircraft. Ive been busy with school so I dont see myself or dad fixing this any time soon lol
Nice job. The Genie was an unguided nuclear missile. There is a video of some men at ground zero who were unprotected who volunteered to be under it (although the cameraman did not volunteer). I think several eventually died of cancer. During the 89’s the Voodo stationed out of Winnipeg held the Genie, and this was the only time in history when Canada had nuclear weapons.
@SnoWFLakE0s - Thank you. I might upload a version to show you the issues, but I'll continue to play around with drag to see if I can replicate it. I noticed you changed that and the 3 axis angles on the detacher, however my attempts were not getting it right. On the topic of your code, it brought a smile to my face. I really enjoyed your Python code. I suppose it is possible to make something similar to what Sleddriver made (incremental sizing on fuselage parts) for smooth creations. It would be neat to replicate that, but in a way to bring it to the SP masses. Have you considered a way to take the xyz points from a 3D object (like from Solidworks or even Excel)? I think XYZ-2-WF offers a free utility for converting raw three-dimensional numeric data files.
This is excellent. One question... How did you get the shell tumbling to work on the original gun? I tried replicating it, but no dice. Even when I copy the shells and detacher as sub assemblies, matching all settings, it still does not work.
@SpiritusRaptor - Too busy with work. My team is part of cloud engineering and we need to ensure our customers remain online through this crisis. I'm amazed at the creations, especially those utilizing Funky Trees. I'd love to build again, but have no time these days.
You put a lot of work into this and it looks great.
Yes, just look in my builds. @WarKiller64
Still the best. Plane goes brrrr. @Almostbutnotquite
I’m still around. @FloridianTrainMan
I still remember all the hard work you put into this. Nice to hear from you. Walrus Sr.

Thanks for the explanation.
You’re welcome @Epsilonist
I’ll bite. How do you do it? @TankerWithATankard
Hahaha this is awesome
Congratulations! Jr. decided to attend University of Texas. @SnoWFLakE0s
What school are you planning to attend? @SnoWFLakE0s
@Badpiggieslover - I forgot about this old build. I think some YouTuber featured it back in the day.
@kevinmurphy @hellfirecoder - Are @PlanariaLab ‘s limitations something that can be addressed in the console?
Remarkable amount of effort and thought went into this. Have you lost interest in this project or are you stuck?
New players deserve spotlights. :-)
Thank you. @madmax1682
How do you get the floats to attach and detach after flight?
Great build.
Its pretty small man
Sure, but don’t forget this was built nearly five years ago. The game and building techniques were vastly different then. @Yoloman2020
Lol. @qwsd123
I made this for Kevin Murphy ages ago for the game.
Hmmmm. Did you even download this? @Yoloman2020

Walrus Sr. here. Yes, I agree with Jr. Nice to see you back.
Good stuff man good to see your back
Nice job.
Thank you. @KnightOfRen
Brilliant work.

@ShootsPlanes - I will try to update this one soon. I’m pretty busy at work these days, but I’ll try!

all time classic

thanks for the head up tho man :)
You deserve an upvote!
Yes, picture hosting went down :-(. Thanks for enjoying the bird.
@Arda2009
I remember the sonic booms of these as they took off from base for patrol.
Upvote from the original flying toaster maker. Walrus approved.

@anonymoususer976 - :-)
I flew it and liked it. Nice job.
@AndrewGarrison How are you guys holding up with all the changes in the world?
Very nice job.
