Title: Pony Skin
Post by: Jappa52 on May 15, 2009, 03:21:55 PM
I know we have a full stable of pony skins but I wanted to see if someone could do this anyway. Maybe HT will decide to open a few more pony slots out of the kindness of their hearts  :D  :pray

Lt. Robert H King. Wilmington, NC. 77th Fighter Squadron. P-51D 44-13687 LC-B "Dizzy Rebel".

I have "Happy Jack's Go Buggy" done, but there is no use submitting it until they start rotating the skins.

Did you do it like the pic above or after they added the "piano keys"?  I never even knew that one had the piano keys until I ran across it on another skinning sight.

Something different for it, I think.

Only the ignorant can't tell the difference.

I did Dizzy Rebel and submitted it almost 3 years ago, but never heard anything back on it- not accepted, not rejected, just vanished in the interwebs.

The skin itself is long gone from my comp, all I have left are some progress shots I saved way back then.  :cry

PTO 51s are my favorite  :aok  Why didn't you submit it Fencer?
Title: Re: Pony Skin
Post by: Fencer51 on May 16, 2009, 02:07:13 PM
First one was submitted and accepted, it was done for Twinboom and his boys.

The reason I didn't submit the others?

I really do not want to see another P51D skin.  We have too many now to be able to rotate them in and out of the game.

I always try and do what the man says.

Ah, good point.  Too bad that we can't download the skins not in rotation to use in the MA.

Pity... Either one of those first 2 ponies would probably be my regular skin!

Ya know what? Go ahead and submit one of 'em! Whatever you like best! Just get it in there, just one of them, so it gets rotated eventually!!

No i typed something along the lines of "we can have blah blah blah" and replaced it with something else.  I had to edit because I left "have" in the sentence so it read  "we can't have download blah blah."


Which doesn't mean i still don't hate you TB :)


Just kidding, sir  :)

+1! Both of those are nice skins. Are the wings of Happy Jacks painted the same as Dizzy Rebel?

Was doing this one for my favorite light bomber pilot.. It still needs the plane number "526"? or was it "528".. in front of the star and bar but its pretty much done..

Very nice.  That would be 528 :)

Most of the Iwo birds had the dive bombing strips on the wings too

That is a good one!

Unfortunately, half the Pony skins are, although well-intentioned, pretty abismal.  It would be nice if we, as a community, could vote on the ones, out of all those submitted and approved, that we wanted to use in game.  Heck, we've got two that are basically identical.  I certainly respect the work that went into making them, but I think we have some really good candidates to use as replacement skins.

Heres a 20th Pony for you- piano keys, AND its named after the pilots horse when he was in the Cavalry before the war!
