Weathering... Worn paint.. what you guys think?
« on: June 01, 2005, 01:37:25 PM »
Ok this is my thinking.

Planes are made out of metal. Planes are painted over that metal.

So.

I painted my bare metal Ki84. Paint Layer just above the last of the metal layers, below markings and below weathering.

On the bare metal skin the weathering is dust, dirt, oil, gun resedue and some just ware to make the skin less glossy in certain areas. Really a painted plane should attract dirt and crap in the same areas. So Im keeping my weathering, but toneing it down a bit.

Ok so now I have a dirty colored plane.

Now I take a airbrush eraser and go to work. Color gets worn off the metal. So lets ware of the color and see what happens......





I kind of like it.

What you guys think?

The freekin JPG compression is hurting it but still please give me an opinion.

EDIT: Roundels are not done at all

That SUCKS!!  I thought the metal one was good enough to be 1024x1024, so I didnt even make a note of it.  But yeah, submitted skins must be in 1024x1024 size.  Download the Hi-Res pack and try again...
