Oh what fun. Gives me the shove I needed to get started with skinning and it allows some time for us nubes to make an effort.
Good luck to all. Thanks MK2

We shall see OvS. You will have some serious competition, you can count on that. And while I am not much of a threat, I think I'll be giving this a go too. Imagine all the great new skins we are going to end up with. SWEET!

Cheers!

Lou

That's right Lou and I've seen maybe 2% of the BH&H skins so far.

Nah... that's for you guys to enjoy. Have fun with it... I can't and won't participate. I had my fun making them for the game.

I enjoy see what you guys come up with...

Here are some tips though...
1. Think Circa
2. Think personal... what would you want on your plane?
3. Don't go overboard
4. Don't forget the weathering!!! Nothing looks worse than new paint on an old plane.
5. HAVE FUN!!!

Good luck...

oh... and...

6. if you need help from "an inside guy"... my paypal account # is... LOL!

It's an incredible feat!....It's only when you start skinning yourself, that you realise quite what an amazing feat that was!

kudos el mucho!!
