The Germany winter terrain will be submitted soon. A winter skin for the storch would be awesome as the default skin. If you are interested I will add it to the terrain
About how soon would you need it by? It might take me a week, maybe sooner.
Just out of curiosity how long does it take you to finish a skin from beginning to end?
It varies drastically depending on what I'm skinning. Making a default skin from scratch might take me a month and a half or more. You have nothing to start from like you would a normal custom skin. Somebody has to be the first to skin the wheel wells.
That's what worries whenever someone wishes for some obscure plane, "Great, now I have to find photos of the rivets for some plane nobody's ever heard of, much less taken photos of!"
A normal skin from scratch might take me a month or so. It's a lot faster to make a skin for a plane that you already have skinned in the past; it usually takes me a matter of hours to a week. You can reuse the panel lines and rivets and other details, leaving you to only have to change the paint, nose art, markings and so on.
And all of that is different depending on the skinner. Greebo seems to be able to get things done a lot faster than I.
