Olham 164 Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) If you want to check, wether you have good nerves, try to make a skin like this. It is a damn hell of a job. This is a work in progress; not yet ready. The distortion of the back part of this bird makes it an in-and-out between Photoshop and OFF, to make pictures, and correct it after them.

Olham 164 Posted October 10, 2010 Thank you, Widomaker - I will do my best; some parts still need fitting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullethead 12 Posted October 10, 2010 You have far more patience than I do for that. sort of work. I'm of the "let's get 1 area lined up between side and top, then put a solid band around the fuselage elsewhere" school ;). Salute! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burning Beard 14 Posted October 10, 2010 That one is a lot different than the Barber Pole Spad XIII I did. That one has two continuous stripes that starts at the front and run to rear of the plane. That is where Corel Draw and grids come in handy. This Alb is a pretty bird, that oval fuselage really lends itself to the Barber Pole motif. Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Thank you, Bullethead, but don't hide your light under a bushel - your Fokker D.VII "Hell's Jester" is a masterpiece, and it must have taken you quite some time - or genius - to get it so beautiful. Same for your SPAD, Burning Beard - skinning can be a straining, but also rewarding job. Today, my neighbours may have thought that I had run completely nuts - I was screaming at the wall, when Photoshop didn't understand automatically, what was necessary next.

+Paarma 0 Posted October 10, 2010 Yeah very nice job done there! Yeah the stripes and other hard tweaking take time and useally least many days or even week sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
