My 1st Phantom Paint Scheme

[Wolf_Fangs 0]

Hello Everybody,

 

I have finished my Phantom paint scheme for Strike Fighters. It took me a very long time to complete do to the many template's. I am not used to doing repaint's with more than one template. So it was very tricky to line everything up correctly. I found a profile on the net of a top down view and went from there. The color's are of my personal choice. They work very well for over sea opperation's. I probably changed the scheme several time's before the final version. There are no marking's what-so-ever. I didn't like how the turned out when applied to the template's directly. They came out real blurry. I read the decal tutorial that someone was kind enough to post a link. But it's to much for me to take on. Would be nice if there was a decal file to download with the wanring marking's,etc. to use. If there was I would have some marking's on my paint scheme. Oh well. Please tell me what you think. Good or bad. Not sure when I'll skin again for Strike Fighters because it is a real pain for me. Well here's a few screenshot's. Enjoy!! =S=

Great job on that skin! That is outstanding for your first repaint and I hope to see you do some more.

 

May I suggest a Euro rap around? We are lacking in those.

 

Again great job!

 

Nice but we have sorta seen it before

 

Stop being a butt Ranger.

"Stop being a butt Ranger. "

 

Not being a butt as you say just tring to warn him off some ppl dont understand hard work and effort can gererate from two different sorces without them knowing each other, dident want him to get accused of "stealing someones work" some here like to make that claim!

 

 

Wolf-fang try checking out some of the skinners site (there are meny now) this way you might get ideas as to what you want to work on.

 

heres a good decal site

Hello Ranger332,

 

Thank's for the comment's. I really appreciate it. Expecially being new to the forum's and all. I didn't think about using the decal's from the game. Quite frankly I thought the game itself would apply them. I wasn't aware that I had to post the decal information in the skin file. Nice to know though. I'll have to check them out and find the decal's I want to use. Thank's for that bit of info though.

 

As for people that may think I stole someone else's hard work,they can think that all they want. They would have to come up with hard evidence to prove it. I used the template that is uploaded here and a profile from another site (which I can post if someone thought I did). However,I will be using a new template from a friend of mine. But if people want to think I stole somebodies hard work,fine let me. But you better have hard evidence.

 

The work I do is whatever I want to do. Whatever pop's into my mind is what I'll do. Wether it's historical or not. I'm not really into modern fighter's like I've said before. So this is all for my personal fun. But if people like it enough,I will uploaded for everyone. =S=

 

Hello Gecko,

 

Thank you for the very nice comment's aswell. I appreciate it alot. But this isn't my first skin ever. I've been skinning aircraft since the release of IL-2 Sturmovik. But I have moved onto IL-2 Sturmovik:Forgotten Battles now. However,this is my first skin for Strike Fighters if that's what you were refering too. I will probably do more,but it's alot of work to produce a skin for this skin. It takes me anywhere from 1 hour to 4 hour's to produce a skin for IL-2:FB. As for doing one for this sim it takes even longer. This skin here took me at least 4 day's,and was a real pain in my rear. But thank you for the comment's and maybe I'll do some euro skin's in the future. =S=

Hello Ranger332,

 

I know how it is. There was alot of that just after the "Paint Schemes Forum" was opened over at il2sturmovik.com. Luckily I wasn't one of those accused. But a few of the very best skinner's were. However,they proved those who claimed they were stolen skin's wrong.

 

I will definately learn how to take vid's from the sim and how to upload them. I don't want anyone to accuse me of something,not that I would give a care anyway's. Let them think what they want and I'll just keep on skinning!! 8) Thank's for all the help!! =S=
