RULES

short fuze

Would be nice

Ich möchte so ein Schitzelgruben haben. Nummer 14, bitte!

But instead of the green prop gimme a #101010 one and add a red dot onto the the US star ... a six-pack of Michelob ... a job ... :P

BTW, it was the A6M2-21 that was flown on last Sunday ... you know in the Hawaii mission ... yeah, it was Hawaii, Falcon!

yeah, if it's a Pearl Harbor scenario I should put in the red dot

<good until May '42 I think>

...

and I'll try to figure out what 101010 is

a color code?

gah!

and ask RULES,

I didn't paint the spinner green,

You should teach a college course in skinning Falc,

Whose face is that on the pilot in the Warhawk

Speaking of master skinners....

I would really like to see a skinning lessons learned & technique sub forum where folks could go to learn specific ways to do skinning using the more popular graphics packages in the squadron. It's often the simplest of tasks that can take the longest to sort out even with help utilities and searchable web sites.

One thing I'm struggling with is placement of patterns that cover multiple pieces of the template for the Spitfire. Requires a lot of time consuming trial and error, for me, so that patterns match up between contiquous pieces of the template. That is taking me more time than anything else. Perhaps someone may have somehow marked up a template indicating the interface points on the edges of the variouis pieces of the template. Perhaps a layer with some sort of markings on it that identifies interface points between all the pieces?

Hmmm, can a tool be built that allows one to paint an assembled aircraft , the way it looks in the game, and have the results stored in a template, sort of a reverse process for template creation? That would help, I think. Just a wandering pre coffee in the morning thought.

C you all tonight at TacticalS house.

If you find a spot along a meeting of two areas that has a pronounced line because of slightly different colors/shades/textures/etc., then find one of those areas on the skin, copy that area at the appropriate layer and paste it on the area of the other side of the line.

This will minimize the discontinuation.

Check your work and adjust further by adding dark/light layers under the appropriate side to take care of different shading and lighting qualities inherent in the mat and model.

I don't usually worry about exact borders, (interface points). The skin usually provides sufficient area for "overspray".

It´s Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill´s face, MicVic!

Churchill's face...my my , I thought it might have been your face sir Gen.

We will fight them on the beaches, we will fight them in the fields...
