I'm about 90% done and just wanted to post some screenshots to show you all. If you see anything wrong please feel free to tell me. If all goes well I'll be sending it in next week.

Xasthur thanks again for the pictures.

I'm always happy to help out with stuff like this, especially when it ends in something like this.

Great job, mate, can't wait to try it out.

The only thing I noticed is that the gun barrels for the cowling MGs are the same colour as the cowling.

Perhaps the area around the muzzle for the MGs would have a small amount of blast residue too, even though I have read that they were supposed to be cleaned regularly.

Perhaps a little bit of scorched paint from the muzzle-flash?

Also, one final thing, the colours seem to behaving strangely on the MG 151/20 access hatches on the wings.

That's getting pretty bloody picky, though, isn't it?

Fantastic job, mate. Like I said, can't wait to try it out.

[edit]

I also noticed something else, did you put the leather pilot's suit on the pilot?

Like this:

If so.... kudos for the attention to detail.

I've never noticed the 190 pilot before, so maybe that's just the default. Hahah.

Larry wtfg. Wow. Your colors and detail are great!

Try to increase your panel lines on the fuselage. They seem to faint unlike the panel lines on the lines, which look great.

BTW, are you using photoshop? If so, mind giving me the RGB values you've used for the green? My green doesn't look like yours, which I like better. I may mix my green with yours and see what I get. Please!!!! (begs for the rgb value which I think people should share when it comes to german colors:D )

Great Job!

Not symmetrical. Look at the top-down shot you posted. The arrows pointing to the lift points are misaligned, and the crosses are slightly off. I think the right side is a pixel too high (it's blurred, the left one is not).

Also, it looks funny that the wings have green (for example) but the fuselage does not. It just cuts off there at the joint. It was really a blended shape and there would be some paint on the fuselage as well. If you look at some models or perhaps some real photos you'll see what I mean.

Can you show us a better angle (low angle) of the yellow cowling where it meets the wing leading edge?

Krusty's even more picky than my wife:rofl

But he's right..it's good to have people critique your work, so it doesn't get refused.

Yea, thats why I like posting about a week before I send it in to hear what you all have to say. What Iv noticed is when you look at the same plane over and over for a few weeks you miss the little things. Its always good to have some fresh eyes look over it.

Xasthur that gun residue is part of the 10% that I need to do along with dirt and mud on the underbelly. The wierd colors on the Mg151s hatch is part of HTCs model where it bulges out. If anyone knows how to make it look less jaged please tell me because I have yet to find a way. The pilot is the default one for all LW planes.

Krusty Ill try to get everything symmetrical. In the meanwhile heres a pic of the lower cowling.

Kermit I use this website for most of my RLMs. I cant remember the RLM number off the top of my head, but its nots the color its the weather shading that makes it like that.

Kermit de frog · « **Reply #8 on:** July 14, 2007, 10:08:33 PM »

Ah, the weathering does it. That's what I was hoping my weathering would do to my colors. Looks really nice. Don't forget about my coment regarding your panel lines on the fuselage. They seem to not look as good as the panel lines you've done on the wings.

Krusty · « **Reply #9 on:** July 14, 2007, 10:19:19 PM »

Gun hatches: Leave it. It's not supposed to match the panel lines. If you look at real pictures the hatch had a bulge in the center but the edges were flat (similar to the screenshot above). I say leave it.

Yellow: From memory the panel line below the exhaust should not be angled, it should make a square (matching the one above the exhaust). The yellow should be straight as well (not sloping down toward the nose). Keep it high and snug in a straight line, is my suggestion.

Kermit's right. Your wings have a "shadow" or "highlight" layer, but this does not seem to be the case on the fuselage. Check for missing layers. If it's on, re-blend it so that it shows up better. It seems like wings have dark and light, but fuselage has just dark, but a fuzzier dark (no light)

Looks almost straight to me. Enough so that it could be a mistake on the image. Another one I've seen is:

Which also seems more-or-less straight.

Larry · « **Reply #12 on:** July 15, 2007, 01:57:30 AM »

Yea it looks like it goes down a bit. Maybe I can make it only go down about 3 pixles. I might make it curve alittle less.

Larry · « **Reply #13 on:** July 15, 2007, 02:48:42 AM »

How does this look?

Krusty · « **Reply #14 on:** July 15, 2007, 03:42:05 PM »

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!

EDIT: Don't forget to do the same (in grey) on the other side!
