Sadly .... still finding ways to 'improve' my Aircraft control Panel for the F105.
Only just realized the clock was wrong....wrong numbered/style face ... so had to edit yet another 4 images ... and an xml that didn't show luminous at night.
OK...edit's being a pain....
^^^^^ that thing's the current state of the Panel.... getting bloody complicated.... 28 layers drawn to screen [separate images with alpha, etc ... and z-order].
Made the glass reflections a little more 'real'-ish ....
I'm banking right... over Tulla airport [Melbourne] ...;)
2 months in the making... I started First of October.
Most of it is 'fair-dinkum' real to the specific aircraft ... even the reverse-order of the HSI and ATT [the two big ones in the middle between the vertical ribbon meters].
Looks good enough to pass muster for any wannabe pilot. I can't imagine the time of it those pilots must have had flying those birds in the heat of battle. It would turn me into a squiggly bowl of jello for sure. 
Ten big ones just for the effort.
Now I'm getting 'serious'....just got the faux mirror effects to animate/function in the alpha-blended canopy reflections .... and they move with the canopy...as it opens.
Next trick is to have them static...but disappear when it's open [no glass] .... but doing this in xml, etc is all trial-error .... [for me]....;)
I had a hard time doing my latest smx with just six modules, having to figure it all out by trial and error. I tried counting the various images when I zoomed in on it. There must be over one hundred different gauges, switches knobs, buttons etc on this image. I do not envy you Jafo. Your expertise yes, the incredible detail and the time taken to do it right ........... uh uh. I'd be walking around talking to myself more than I do already. I have to check out xml just to get a feel for what you are doing.
Just a little something...might develop into something, might not..
Cool!! Marvin is awesome! Xiandi, you should be a cartoonist!
I've got a few more buttons and controls in for my Hardwood blind. 
MARVIN!!! MARVIN!!! MARVIN!!! the crowd chants as Cyndie contemplates her next move. I says GO for it, girl! 
I've put computer graphics on hold for a little bit, and I'm skinning food now. Here's a picture of some antique broaches made out of fondant (totally edible) I made to put on my wedding cake for my vow renewal. 
k10w3, congratulations on your wedding renewals. I'm sure it was fabulous. But, your broaches are to beautiful to eat. Love them.
What about some..."BAM!"?
Wise move. I didn't want you to put in a lot of work and then have to 'chuck it'.
Now he is complete 
Even if I can't make a theme based on him, it was still fun making him.
