P40 "Stud" of the 325th Checkertails
« on: September 16, 2004, 09:57:04 PM »
Work in progress:





Noseart isn't complete.  Bunch of other things to do as well.

I am definitely in need of desert weathering tips from the skin gods.... nopoop, nomde, fester? :)

Thats one thing I can't work around with this skin.  The portion behind the headrest is mirrored from somewhere in the middle of the wing.  I first noticed this in my previous skin where the white stripe was easily seen in this spot:

-Rivets made it look too 'busy' on the wing/fuselage.  Toned them down a bunch - they're still visible up close.  
-Lightened panel lines and blurred a tad
-Added rudder/tail/aileron brace shading

Astonishing.  Great skin Oct!

If it were me, Id make another file and beat the heck out of it.  Give it a lot of weathering and things of the sort.  Then, compare the two and see which looks better. :)
