I think it would be more apt, to tone down the yellow and black lines actually?

Thanks Chaps...Yes Olham..perhaps you're right..I'll look into doing that over the W/E

View File Fokker DVII_F This is a fictional design (though hopefully believable) of a Fokker DVIIF of Jasta 10 Please feel free to have fun with it..use it as you will. Many thanks as usual to OvS and all at OBD for allowing us to use their original skins Submitter UK_Widowmaker Submitted 09/16/2011 Category Aircraft Skins  

Nice one FlyPC...you're full of surprises!!

Hi All Just uploaded a fictional DVIIF skin...please feel free to use it as you will....hope you like it It's for Jasta 10 btw

thank you Lou...that is indeed a better picture

I've always liked Art that tells a story.... not a fan of loads of dog-turd smeared on a salad of life type crap, that you get in the Tate Modern...A monkey can do that! Like that 'messy Bedroom' that caused such a stir...I mean, c'mon! As to a picture that sticks in my mind...the Charge of the Scots Grey's (Scotland Forever I believe is the actual title) certainly evokes something in me!.... the expressions on the Horse's....the looks on the faces of the men...the speed that is perfectly captured....The Officer leading the Charge...I could study it for hours. Sometimes it helps to have some experience of the subject matter too...I have never been involved in a Cavalry Charge of course...but have stood at the front of a Horse Race...and the thunderous noise made by just 10 horses galloping, was something to behold!....the sound of hundreds must be unbelievable! Unfortunately, the pic i've posted does not do it justice at all ps: as a quick history lesson thrown in for good measure... Scotland Forever! by Lady Elizabeth Butler. Lady Butler's depiction of the Scots Greys famous charge at the Battle of Waterloo. In actuality, it appears that they were unable to build up the momentum of a gallop, because the broken ground obliged them to advance at a canter. Still a damn fine painting though

Indeed Eric...though, with WW1 aircraft...it's all trial and error..due to the lack of pictures

ah..thanks Shredward

If I was writing a book, about WW1 aerial Combat...I would ask OBD to use OFF screenshots in it!

Here's one for you WW1 buffs! Anyone noticed that RFC Roundals are not always in the same position on the wings, even on the same aircraft type, in many pictures you see floating about. Some are much nearer the wingtips....others much nearer the pilot. Was there not some standardisation on insignia? If you look at the pictures that Olham has put up in another post.... look at the SE5a's....and you'll see what I mean (namely the two aircraft with 'H' and 'I' on them...picture 1)

I'm with flypc too...not wishing to distract from the artwork...OFF has the edge in gritty realism...the pictures look like..well pictures. (that said...would look very nice in a Book)

I have linked to a couple of really useful step by step techniques for weathering aircraft (and another for wood) in the photoshop section, that some of you may find useful (i hope) here is the link to the links http://combatace.com/topic/67641-basic-weathering-techniques/

http://www.eaf51.org/Photoshop/Tutorial/Basic_Weathering.htm found this extremely useful http://www.graphics.com/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=305 and for Wood and Canvas

LMFAO

I too have never worn a Uniform...So I shall not salute...but I still pay my respects.

Loved the Gatling Gun Spandaus!...but yes, generally very good

I agree with Shrikehawk Many people seem to think that because we have the priveledge of free speech, it gives us Carte Blanch to go around upsetting other people.

yeah, these seem quite good...fsx certainly has less shimmer

Out of Adolph and his goons!

If there's one thing worse than Top Gun...it would be Top Gun in 3d!..... I'd hate to think that drivel was actually real!

Surely, there's a BIG difference between a forum, thats well moderated like CA...and the likes of Facebook and youtube? If we posted anything close to what this idiot did...we'd be outta here before our arses got warm in the seat?....not true on FB or the tube
