UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted July 2, 2009 well, here is my latest skin. I was just playing around with Diamonds, and this is the fruit of my weirdness!...It's different...but hopefully still maintains a touch of realistic. It's an effect I look forward to trying on different Aircraft, with other colours. Hope you enjoy it...and my next project is an American Camel I shall upload now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptSopwith 26 Posted July 2, 2009 Allow me to second Otto's thumbs up. I approve as well! Man I wish I could skin like that. I remember some of the abominations I made in RBII - I would never dared post them on a forum! lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hauksbee 103 Posted July 2, 2009 Hmmmm....hate to be the grumpy olde fart, here, but to my eye, the dark blue and maroon squares don't read too well. In grey scale, they'd blur together. I like the basic concept, but what about making one color much lighter, and the squares bigger overall so they'll read at a distance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the basic concept, but what about making one color much lighter, and the squares bigger overall so they'll read at a distance? Hi Hauksbee, Yes, very valid points. The diamonds I originally did were quite large (possibly twice the size) and were black and white. This is something I plan to do on a DVII...The trouble was, on the DR1, with it's stumpy little Fuselage, it just didn't cut it...it looked a bit like a pedestrian crossing. The DVII will, I think...Show that off nicely... The Diamonds on the wings are about the size I am looking at for the DVII. I find it very useful, when chaps like yourself tell me their opinions, as it helps me grow as a skinner.... thanks m8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HomeBoy 1 Posted July 2, 2009 Beautiful Widowmaker! You are truly skilled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickitycrate 10 Posted July 2, 2009 There you go, thanks. I find it reminds me of camo patterns used for some of the Austrian crates. A different look but an overall style that was actually used. I am glad you are still having fun with skinning. You continue to inspire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hasse Wind 46 Posted July 2, 2009 Once again, excellent work Widowmaker. I think those diamonds look great on that Dr. I. All the talk about the stuffy old Prussians has no basis in reality, just compare those colours to the dog's vomit the Entente uses to paint their crates.
