+MK2 12 Posted May 7, 2009 All right everyone please join me in congratulating the winner of the very first Combatace OFF skinning contest: Fubar45 His amazing Se5a of Lt A P F Rhys Davids of 56 Sqn was the winner. This skin was totally redone including all the details, wing ribbing stitching etc. He even redid some cockpit textures! It was a very close contest between several forum members and the voting was very close. There was even some thought in having several winners (that is how close it was). Fubar45 enjoy your new monitor! Please PM me your address and shipping details and we will have your prize on its way. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members that submitted incredible skins. The OFF community is the real winner in this contest as we have so many new skins to play with. If you have not seen the new skins please proceed to the OFF download section and start enjoying them! http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...amp;showcat=350 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creaghorn 10 Posted May 8, 2009 congrats fubar! i don't have some tools to tweak skins. but if i would have, they would look like some drawings from a 3 year old child. i am amazed about everyone who has any kind of talent for drawings and paintings and stuff like this. especially such beautiful and detailed skins you all made. how you do it and how you make it look so great will always remain a mistery for me. i can understand why it was a hard desicion. enjoy your new monitor.

Otherwise an awesome skin, must roll up another SE pilot... there must be some more of the Rhys family who have yet to serve. Congrats to Fubar and here's to the next compo.

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted May 8, 2009 Morning Everyone, I just returned from a business trip to St. Louis and read the news...well done fubar! Your winning skin is outstanding Sir, and now we each get to share not only your efforts but the efforts of all who entered designs for this competition. A great idea and my hats off to the OFF team...again! Now then, that comic strip post of Red-Dog's looks like it could be the next contest. Might generate some excellent OFF advertising material. Cheers! Lou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve58 0 Posted May 8, 2009 Congrats Fubar! I don't think I've tried out the SE5a yet, but gonna go DL your skin and give it a try. Congrats to you and all the skinners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fubar45 0 Posted May 8, 2009 Hi all Thank you all very much for the kind words, and a big thank you to the combatace guys and of course all the guys of the OFF team (WHAT A GREAT SIM THIS IS). I have enjoyed making these skins and the standard from everyone was very high, its been a great contest of which I happen to be the very lucky winner. I must say what a great forum this is there's a real good vibe about the place With helpful and friendly people. One last word about why theres no elavator marking on the upper side surface, there was a small texture repeat problem on the elavator so I desided to leave it out. thanks again guys for all the nice words now I must go and get myself shot down .
