Very nice, I have a question for you Mr. Falcon

How do you get the text, that you have on the wings to be so detailed? I mess with fonts but they don't come out as clear as some of the skins you have done.

Well, there's always a lower limit to how small you can go, but the tenet I use is 'less is more'. Most fonts don't work well when working on the subatomic level. Keep it simple. Square, blocky fonts are best. Ariel works good all the way down to 8 pts. If you want smaller, start with a larger font size an and resize down. Another factor may be your graphics software. PS, PSP and GIMP all work well. Other software may not.

I sometimes need to go down there among the electron clouds and erase or decrease the opacity of some of the fuzzies and darken other faded lines for the smallest work to make it clearer.

If you have a specific challenge, send it along and we can work it out.


and thx,

Falcon

Another class job

and- speaking of microcosmical things , how do you get on with these-



drove me nuts so I just fuzzed them over.

I did da duck ...



... this is partially traced and partially free hand with some textures duplicated from old Disney cells.

The Donalds are slightly different on each side, but I ain't gonna sweat it.

Sneaky, I think I spent some time on at least one of my templates making that vent look better. I'll look for it.

Thanks in advance

Uhhhhhhhhhh I don't know 'bout that Dutch.



The warping in the fuselage gets worse as you go back and these codes are hard to get right. I'm almost finished with the corrections so if you want an H@53, then no prob. If you want a D@96 or FI@96, then you may need to wait.


Falcon

Stu that has to be my all time favorite mod for a spit . I want it fitted as standard on all my aircraft with straws coming from the cans

Wardog

I'm with Wardog on this, straws as standard kit.

Ah Sir Falcone,
i dunnono what is used most recently FI with da number or first letter of the name with the number ?

D96 is more original but FI96 is mor FI like so i go for FI 96 and I will wait.
I'll see it someday no rush my friend no rush..


Dutch..,
