Well this is still a very early work in progress, but I thought I'd share a few images of what I've got so far. Mind you There are about a million things I need to fix still, I started from scratch just trying to get the ribs to line up correctly. I've got a long way to go, but it's fun!

I originally thought so!  :aok

Looking good Baumer, like the olive.

When posting pics, remember that they get sized down, so zoom in as much as you can.  Vonmessa can help you with how to do it, he's the new expert.  :D

LOL thanks, I preshrunk them before posting. If I zoom in closer you'll see that I've got a really long way to go! but I'll post some closeup's as I get area's correct.

On a serious note, I have run into a problem if any of the "full time" skinners can help I'd appreciate it.

The bottom of the horizontal stabilizer is only one part mirrored for both sides. On this skin the bottom left is supposed to be white and the other side black what can I do? Will HTC accept a skin that's incorrect like that? For now I am going to keep it light blue, but if there's a work around I'd be glad to hear it.

Thanks,
Baumer

You have to screw up pretty badly and blatantly to get a skin rejected.

And screw up something that isn't obviously a result of the mapping of the skin, too. You should be fine.

Besides, who'd ever going to see the underside of your tail?  :neener:

If you are working within the limits of the skin's mapping and any errors related to how the game works, pick a stance and defend it. They'll accept it.

Just say you know it's an issue, this is the decision you made to overcome the issue.

I just wanted to post an update on my progress. All I can say is wow, all the skinners deserve a big <S> for the time and effort they put in.
I knew it would be a challenge on my first skin and it hasn't disappointed! LOL

I've been making progress and I am finally happy with a few parts as well as the color combination's.


I'm still working on getting the edge of the cowl to look better.




I'm very pleased with how the wing struts have turned out, also the small plate for the aileron control cable was very tricky with the white stripe.

I've still got quite a lot of work yet to do, but finally getting a couple of parts "done" has improved my spirits!

Any feedback is appreciated.

Love the color combinations. Keep up the good work... :aok

With so many great skins in the works for the WW1 planes there are just too many great looking skins to pick a favorite, but this one is up there in the top two or three. :cheers:

WW1 really isn't my forte. I can't comment on the finer details and nitpickery, so I'll let others do that.

I will say that I like what I'm seeing so far.
