P-51D 332ndFG 100thFS Lt Spurgeon Ellington "Lollipoop II"

Outstanding Oboe!  The level to which you gents achieve is amazing.  The finite details of every square inch.  Well done.

[SIK1]

Great looking skin.

Devil505 - I hear what you're saying, but the pilot's face is based on a real person and I wouldn't feel right about artificially darkening his skin tone.   I think its probably more accurate to depict a variety of skin shades in the game, anyway.

Fair enough. I went very dark on my pilot figure because it seems like Lt. Hall had a darker complexion.

Here she is as a stand-in for the original model box cover art.  No fancy alterations - I simply cut the image out of one of my screenshots above, resized it and overlaid onto the model box art.  Then I edited out any parts of the original subject that showed through.    I wish our drop tanks looked as good as those in the painting!    AH's muzzle flash graphics are very well done.

lol wouldn't know any better had you not said anything.

I'm a member of the 332nd on Facebook his son had a few photos posted of his father. The plane later was renamed when given to another pilot.

Missed the fact that they actually scanned the photo later in the photo section.

I think that's BUNNIE / MISS KENTUCKY STATE in the background. 

Oboe, we need to try and recreate this shot somehow.   That would be cool.

[oboe]

I'd be up for that.  Trying to think if there's a way to do it with drones?  Or do they always have default skin?

[guncrasher]

you guys have to stop making skins.  having a hard time deciding which to choose

The drones do always use the default skin. The only way it could be done without a second player would be to have the skin added to a terrain so it became the default skin for that ride in that terrain.

Im late to the party as usual, nice skin Oboe.

Recreating the shot, wouldn't it be simplier for you to wing up with someone in an arena and film it? I'd help but my timezone is 12-15 hours different from the states.  just a thought.

[Vraciu]

Yeah, my thinking is we wing up in the TA or a custom arena (for the terrain) and have someone video it and take some screenshots.

[oboe]

The photo reminds me of something I tried to do with "Down For Double", years ago.  Tried to give it a WWII-era color photo look.  Interesting how people wrote directly on the photos themselves with blue pen:


I used to know of a way to get uninstalled skins to display in films made in the MA.   Or maybe it'll already be in the MA by the time you get back from the UK, Vraciu.

[Vraciu]

That was a cool photo effect on that screenshot.

Yeah, hopefully I'll be back not too long after it gets accepted.    Devil505 never has anything to do other than goof off testing skins so we can hijack him as the photo ship.   Lol!

Thank you, FTJR - that's probably what we'll end up doing.   Too bad we can't all get together online sometime and fly these skins!
