Gettin' there!

Yep, Snaphoo, it's flyable ... sorta. Read up on the new ac available here. The new mods might not be legit, but they add a whole lot to an old game. I think we'll be flyin' 210's this weekend so try to be there bud!

Almost ...

Image

just some shading, smoke, dirt, chips and opacity/balance adjustments to do.

I won't have time to do an extensive chip layer, but I'll try to get it scratched up enough for you. I could spend a week or more chippin' and wearin' away.

Options are member number and name and if you want a blank, Vichy* or French design.

* Vichy stripes not complete. Scheme may not be available by Sunday.

Damn! Even if I try to do a quicky, things get complicated!
OK! Enough about your sex life...I just finished a slurpy! :lol:

Good so far Stu. I paid down on a new PC so in a week I'll load up Photoshop CS3 and start skinning again. Some of my past skins had weathering layers of up to 12. I don't over do weathering, though. My best skin was an Italian Bf-109G. Unlucky for me I lost all of my good skins when my last PC died and also on IL2Skins.com (to me the best skinning site there ever was).

Well, done, Stu! You could add some paint chipping and oil runoffs to it. Maybe add a slight fading to the top half of the plane to simulate weathering from the sun. I like the radial front section.
