Okay this is the last 205 I had planned. I wanted to do a herring bone, and a grey that's partially applied to the herring bone, but then I had a mostly completed grey skin as well. Add the proper nose art and numbers, etc, some tweaks and adjustments, and viola.

That means there's one brown, one grey, and one halfway between both!

Hrm... I don't think I like the side mottling there... I'm going to redo that part of it.

cant see any difference

Below the grey splinter pattern on the top, all along the sides from the nose to the tail. Before the end result was really a dim cloud. That's not what I wanted it to look like. That's not really what it should have looked like.

In the last screenshot you can see definite splotches and patterns in 2 different shades, from the nose to the tail (all along the sides).

Exaust stains too dark they dont go around wing to dont have gap

Also add exaust on wing! One is mirrored on gear door tone down markings.

Skin looks a little to clean to me:D

Chimp: Can't have the exhaust touch the wing. That's why it arches up so much. The very base of the rook is only a few pixels stretched to a large amount. It was hard to map out the camo patterns on the herringbone camo because of this.

Nothing I can do about the mirrored gear doors.

Which markings?

Just dirty up teh markings lol. Copy markings get a low op eraser and attack them..

Or another effect is make a brown layer (dark) above markings have low op eraser attack it to you get effect you like.

how long does one skin normaly take to make?

It depends on a lot of things. If you've never done a skin for a plane before, it can take a while to figure out the boundaries inside the skin, how the panel lines match up, and all that. My first 205 took several months of on and off work. However the second one (once I had all the hard work out of the way) only took about a week. The third even less, but that's because it used a lot of the work from the second one.

On and off, I think a lot of skinners her put many months into their skins. They want it to look good. That takes time. Consider, however, that we're not working all day on them. If we did they'd get done a lot faster.
