I'd stick an extra Dark Earth band on the nose.

Looks real good!!!

You should definately post the pic with the stretching / mirroring on the bugs forum.

If you went with the lower line to avoid the stretching, would it be possible to bring the line up to the leading edge, like this?

Thats a fantastic idea Greebo. I will try it tonight when I get in from work. Thanky Sir!

Salute Lord Greebo

Worked P E R F E C T!

Great idea on the work-around. Let me throw another one at you (the last I believe.) The nose section in front of the canopy; all the way to the glass nose, mirrors left and right. I have found no way to work around the mirroring effect. I posted it in the bugs section. The mirroring is EXACT! No working a camo band on the nose unless it is in unison from left to right or vice versa. Unless fixed she will have to be submitted without the forward camo band

Any ideas guys?

Do the Dark Earth band on the part that mirrors, use the area just behind it (no mirroring) to do the demarcation line.
Keep it as close as possible, I think it should look OK.

Salute Kev, Dan, Greebo et' al,

Sorry in delay of updated post. Called outta town with work.

I have made the 3 corrections Kev pointed out (Spinner Nivo, nivo on tail further forward, nivo coming level with upper camo "with Greebos suggestion".) Which IMHO worked perfectly

Anyway, I have dirtied her up, scratches, oil, smoke. It really did give me more to work on her by being away. You will also notice the work-around I did on the nose camo band per Kevs suggestion. I tried to implement as much curve as I could so it wasnt just "blocky" with all the other curve in the camo scheme.

3 pics attached. Scrutinize and feedback please. I gotta get this one done so I can get Kazaa's Coastal done (Im bribing him not to kill me in that Ki again)

bravo!

Its looking really good Redhawk, the cowling camo still looks off to me though. I reckon it would look better with the green/brown camo lines adjusted something like this. You'd need to make the back part of each nacelle green and then adjust the wing camo to match.

The wing roundels also look a bit big compared to Kev's photo.

Greebo's got the ticket! I was thinking something similar myself, but was too busy to photochop an example up

Lord ReDhAwK · « **Reply #26 on:** May 09, 2006, 03:02:10 PM »

Rgr gents. Just in from work. I will put me on some coffee and have it updated for you tonight. I appreciate the help

ReDhAwK

btw, noticed I owe Krusty the Coastal 17, not Kazaa

Still; Kazaa, stop shootin me down

Krusty · « **Reply #27 on:** May 09, 2006, 03:37:14 PM »

You owe me naught but to enjoy the game!

I'd owe you one if you made it for me though

Lord ReDhAwK · « **Reply #28 on:** May 09, 2006, 04:47:45 PM »

Heh! Rgr. I will be more than happy to make her for ya sir

OK..Updated

Greebo, I really like the direction you took me. Much improved I believe. I redid the dark earth bands to go with the dark green on the nacelle. Sexy curves now baby

Reduced the Roundals by 15% on the wings.

Can't believe Im going to say this but she still seems to be missing something. Not sure what. Ideas? Suggestions?
