Painters and skinners. Somewhere to show off skins and look for artistic inspiration.

US Grant's excellent template

and just a few corrections and additions.

Very WIP!

Between the 2, I'm partial to the 2nd design, but both look great!
Was it you or Biggles who had that 335th sqdn skin last Friday? I'm gonna go hunting for that one, and see if you can retrofit my #41 & nose art onto it, if I can twist yer arm.

As always, there's never a hurry for my stuff.

Here's another idea for ya. In honor of your home team's tremendous success this year, you should create yourself a Sabre or MiG skin in Saints colors. Would be fun, and would probably look pretty awesome. Thought I'd mention it, since seeing the stars on that 335th skin made me wonder whether anybody creates skins inspired by their teams. Probably rare, but wouldn't surprise me!

Thanks Blue, lots of good ideas there. I'm going with the second GWG scheme. It's still a WIP, but the people gotta have product, right?

Check your E-mail. I sent 2 skins; one with the green tail that McBee flew and one called 335th. These came from a big skin pack that I got from ... uhhh, I forgot. I'll check my browsing history if it's important.

Oh and

GEAUX SAINTS!!!

While Eileen is at the big game in the Superdome I decided to finish my metal layer fix of HHBlaze and USGrant's excellent Sabre template.

Image

The metal finish is cleaner and the r-r-rivets are much neater now. The wing looks much more realistic from the cockpit than before. Tried a new FI stripe.

17-3 Cowboys at the half?

Geaux Saints???

That is very nice. An 29 por favor. Mit usual decorations.
