Title: Fresh Ideas
Post by: United on October 15, 2004, 09:36:38 PM

Well, I've finally run out of ideas for skins.  I'm kind of getting tired of skinning Spitfires, so Im looking to move on to a new bird.  I've been looking at the TBM, but I cant find any skins that are unique.  Most are just a one or two tone blue camo.

So, does anyone have any requests?  Do any of you Rangoon CMs need anything done?

Thanks for any ideas you all post.

*Guppy, do you have any pictures of a unique TBM skin?  (I ask this because you are an extremely valuable asset when it comes to pictures!)

I am indeed actually.  What I plan on doing is making one, then uploading both a template and the skin to the skin department.

Rafe, do you have any more info on that bottom TBM you posted there?


thebest, I plan on pulling an all nighter tonight.  I've got absolutely nothing to do tomorrow, so I figured I'd do some skinning tonight.  So, I would expect a template and skin within 2-3 days.

I'm sorry, United.

I had these TBM Colour Plate for a while i mean for long time and still have no information about them, but they are TBM-3.

Ah, no problem.  Thanks for posting.  I believe that will probably be my next project. :)

united   you  will find  there  are  some  stretching  problems  with the  tbm  at  the  rear  fusealrge and   a  couple  of  bits  are  mirriored.
  i sent  a  skin  in for  a  tbf  which  is  basicly  similar to tbm    which  is  being looked  at  now.
   the  skin at present  has  a lot  of details  missing    but  most  designs  can be done

Roger:

I noticed that the only major problems I had were the wing mirroring, but that was ok since the wings match each other.  Other than that, I didnt have much of a problem.  Everything else I was easily able to work around.
