Skins under construction

[glenmorangie]

Since I just figured out pics ( with a lot of help... )


Yak-9 Southern Front Camo, AII Brown/Dark Brown 1944

and "Bukhanova Loops Pattern" AII Green/Dark Green 1943

B-17G Nine-O-Nine

It took me quite a while to settle on the aircraft to model.

The original Nine-O-Nine met the scrap heap but it's history was so worthy as to have a restored B-17 named after it.

This skin will not have the added nose art affixed to the plane later in it's career.

Base skin completed.  70% done adding hatch doors, landing lights, access panels, realigning panels lines etc.

Weathering 30% complete.

Heck had I known that many Pony skins were submitted I'd never started mine.  Oh well guess back to the drawing board with something new.

Been working on a skin of Bit o'Lace, it's a second one, for me but what the heck LOL.  Ok the problem -------- upon changing the red to yellow, and brown on the elevators, it has changed the size from 1mb to 3mb with just those mild convertions. Can anyone give me some direction to what I might be doing wrong. I have converted one to all drab green with no change in size.  Also does anyone have just panel lines and rivets for a 17.

Your not saving it as an 8 bit bmp. In photoshop Image -> Mode -> indexed color - 256 adaptive.

Make sure you save your PS file BEFORE changing the mode. Further alterations are done with the PS file. Indexed color is only for the game.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Nopoop, in my haste to check and recheck I forgot to check that    It's almost ready for the maiden flight after a few more strokes of the MIGHTY BRUSH and a little time to refocus the eyes.

If youre talking about my skin, then Ive already ended the project.  It stretches the checker pattern on the nose, and that just makes it look 100x worse than it should (at least in my POV).  Anyways, I went on and made a spit which is in another thread.
