Sweet! turn panel lines down a bit and she is absolutley a beut! to bad 51 slots are full
-
ty sir
Were do you find out what Slots are taken for each AC??
-
just heard around? anyone. well I hope they are not cause that would def. become my main 51 skin.
-
Pyro or Skuzzy (one of the two) mentioned P51s were full last time we got a skins pack. Keep submitting, however, as they MAY rotate skins in and out.

b e a u tiful raven:O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O
-
tone down panel lines a lil bit and pls.... make et DIRTIER! :D
-
A few things.
The fusalage stars are too small.
The Squadron/Plane code on the right side is wrong, the CY goes in front of the star.
The red nostep lines are in the wrong place on the wings.
You are missing the gun bay access handles on the right wing.
I believe that the underwing lights are on the wrong wing.
The horse on the rudder is a might too small, check it against photos.
These are all detail items, looking good though :aok
-
Agreed with above and Ill add one more thing.
The red stripe separating the camo and metal is too wide. Thin it up a bit and it should be better.
Absolutely great work!
-
Ty for input
more weather, lower ops on Panel lines, and Thin down the red stripe.... All good calls. going to ajust the stars ect and some of the detail things too ty for that info.

almost done Thanks Guys

Agreed with Fencer's comments. Codes and star and bar too small. Underwing hard point were not zinc chromate color either. Should be silver.
And when you've finished this one, do a B model to go with it :)
A couple of 55th FG profiles with the same scheme.

<-was planing on doing that b guppy =)
Nice skin id say tune down the blue just a tad at most 3-5% =)
-
Thank you guys for the detailing info
Also thanks Guppy35 for taking the time to post the Larger profiles ..I need Books ;)
I also noticed a few more things upon looking into it a bit closer .
the bottom of the canopy is aluminum.
the elevators are green also. not aluminum as I have them
and the hard points under wing ARE silver.

SkyChimp, you seem to be "going to do" alot, but I never see you post any updates.
And you never responded to me on the Clostermann Spitfire thread, so speak now or risk duplication, I am starting MH526 this week.
-
the only thing i can add is that maybe the panel lines should be antialiased?? the lines at the moment do the whole pixelated line break effect thingy, if you know what i mean, just like diagonal lines drawn in paint look
-
raven wow keep it up
hope it gets in as i will use it as my primary skin
its sharp:aok
-
ty sir ~S~
almost there

Absolutely fantastic.
The metal effect is just awsome and the skin is overall one of the best ones Ive seen!!!
Hats off.

I don't know if you've fixed it yet or not but your early pictures show the upper/lower stripes on the wings don't line up with each other.

TY TEX
Glad you like her:)
-
Holy crap. That's the best aluminum effect *ever*. Can you make a blank metal template?
-
looks really sweet!!!!!
if i wasnt so in love with festers big beaut, that skin would certainly gain my top spot. i have to say, that metal looks really amazing. you didnt copy the texture from a photo did you?? if so, wow, thats pretty cool and original, if not, uber wow, just looks awesome, how you did it i have no idea. major kudos dude:aok
-
Thanks,Guys
As for the shimmer effect. I use allot of different layers and filters that I made.
then
adjust the opps for each of them till I get the desired look.

na..I tried that . any less opps and I lose the effect. If we get the skin you will see that up close it looks like "blueing" from the heat on the aluminum not oily dirt it took a long time to get the colors right I had to layer blur and smuge . bla bla
these are grainy as I blew them up a bit but you will get the idea.

Then use sharpen plugin!:D
-
LoL. that would be the wrong choice :eek:
it would become a pixelated mess
-
man you've done such an awesome job with that! so i have one simple job for you :) could you also skin the pilot. just a basic costume for him, make him look better you know, it works in the same way as the skin, and if its in the skin folder he'll show up in that plane. i think someone made a mr T once, looked very funny
maybe just stick a photo on the bmp, it'd be really cool i think. up to you i guess, and its more work, but that skin is so cool, it'd be great to have a nice looking pilot to go with it.
i think you've got the plane looking just right. looks really beautiful!
-
how about this guy

that'd be so cool to do man. if you put it as another layer over the face, and give it a fleshy colour hue, and just tinker with the clothing, and we'd actually have a proper pilot! that'd be awesome! if you're thinking about heavily customising it, you could also tinker with the cockpit bmp, and put in an old photo at the corner of the instrument panel, maybe some old fashioned pinup. THAT, would be the best skin EVER made after all that!
-
Thats your baby poo good idea you should do it :aok
-
nah, ive tried and failed miserably at skinning before, i don't have the patience. you're really good at that, you were with il2 beforehand right??
it might be my idea, but i want someone else to do it. if you want to/can be bothered of course.

Check ur email! (big one):D

No to rain on anyone's parade, but it did occur to me that the mainplanes on P51s were painted silver not natural metal. The fuselage was natural metal but to improve the airflow over the laminar wing, the wing was filled then painted. So the wing wouldn't have a natural metal look.
-
Good point...
but the wings were light enough to reflect the fuselage and come off with a shimmer....
If I paint it silver it will still look metallic just like in the photos..
I think it will be ok the way it is..
They are currently at there maximum on P51D skins now.
anyway.
I received an email to that effect.

drooooool
i love this skin. any word on it being put in the skin update raven???
gotta be one of the best to grace these forums, it surely deserves a place in the game, even though the skin folder is full.
-
how did this post come back to life?? I though it was deleted a long time ago? I never reposted it. very odd.
Hi Poo thanks for that big compliment They told me a wiel back that it would be instaled at some future point.
-
beautiful, great job
-
yeah! ide definitely love to see this skin in AH, replace one of those really plane skins, like one that is pretty much standard P-51 except it has red tips.
-
Looks like Raven has hit another one out of the park !
Raven, that metal work looks fantastic !
What are you going to do next ?
-
Thanks Kazaa.
a g2 also Looking for a G14 skin that inspires me Just waiting on some books I ordered , and some K4s.

I got a message saying that this skin was accepted but I don't see it in there loading did it get lost????:cry
-
It takes some time for new skins to make it into the game - anywhere from weeks to even a month or two.
Also, some planes are immensely popular and have a large pool of skins, which HTC rotates into the game after a while... so it might be some time before we get to see ol' Marylin.
-
come on, this has to be one of the best skins in the game, let alone for the pony! cant believe we still have some really plain boring skins lying there unused, but we have this beast gathering dust:rolleyes:
well, hopefully soon. cant wait:aok

My P-51D got accepted back in January and it too is waiting it's turn in the game. Skuzzy has said on several occasions that skins of good quality will be accepted even for planes which have full rosters. These skins will be rotated into the game.
Glad yours got accepted.
Cheers,

oh ok very good thanks guys
