Can you tell me what you think please?

I know the prop needs doing, the Markings and the the difference between the cammo and the underside is not straight, and there is no Weathering...Apart from that? Seeing as it my first attempt

Not bad panel lines lil on dark side should match paint color.

Nose art need work. Other than that looks great.

TY SkyChimp...The lines aren't a problem... In what way about the nose art?

SkyChimp · « **Reply #3 on:** July 22, 2005, 04:08:32 PM »

Ok

Yours is a little hard to see get us closer =)

Its looking very promising steffk, should look great once the markings and weathering are done. The Hurri is a buggy pain in the bellybutton to skin, I gave up on it. I like the stringers on the rear fuselage, although it looks like they are curling up towards the rear a bit on the top.

Updates, just been working on the Ensignias

As requested SkyChimp...As close as I can get

Let me know.

Greebo, I got the Template from AH-Skins so Serious to Kweassa for that...His Template is Awesome, It wouldn't look as good if I had to do it from scratch.

All i'm doing is my additions...I'm also working on my own Spit V Template...God it's a 'PITA'

Tip for the panel lines.

Duplicate the dark lines layer.
Set it underneath the 'original' dark lines.
Apply a gaussian blur set at 4.
Drop the opacity down.

Helps to 'soften' all the panel lines a little.

I have a Spit V template if you want it.

look good for a fist effort.. mucho potential there bud....
one pointer i can give you is" think about the real world...foot traffic, maintainence, battle and weather wear"
panel lines are not gaps between the pannels , they are the joins for highy machined components, accurate to exact levles. the need to be thin..

SteffK · « **Reply #11 on:** July 23, 2005, 03:43:37 PM »

Rogerdee...Thanks for the comments, yes it is a 71 Sqn Hurri, flown by Bill Dunn.

And yes I am having fun, but a Degree in Media Technology helps, even a Nearly 40 person like me

.

People have been fantastic on here regarding help, Greebo, SkyChimp, Kev367th, yourself and SELCTOR.

Selector...Cheers for your comments aswell, the real world is what I am thinking of...I used to be a Wpns Mech in the RAF, worked on Tornado's GR1a's and F3's so I know how they are meant to be

...How they are in real life is held together with spit and speed tape

SELECTOR · « **Reply #12 on:** July 23, 2005, 06:43:20 PM »

cool .. hope to see a few tornados tomorrow at our local airshow..
windermere show..

Excellent...Make sure you get some piccies...Enjoy

I'd say the squadron letters look a little stretched vertically. Make them a bit wider for their height.
