Sorry to spam the forum but wanted to test something.  I ended up submitting this shot as  I didn’t cut the nose art off.    I figured out why it pixelates.   The forum expands the picture larger than it is in the skins page so it loses resolution.     

Would an HTML size tag work?

Wow! Your bare aluminum detail has improved dramatically, I hope this is only a stepping stone to more work on your aluminum technique.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Thanks, Bustr.  I hope I can make it better.  I’ll just keep trying new things and seek to stumble onto something that works.    It is probably a similar process to your improvements in map making.  You think you’ve done as good as you can, then you look back a year or two later and realize you were wrong.

Wow.  That's pretty cool.  Always nice to meet people with a connection to these airplanes.   A salute to Addis.  I was quite happy to skin his airplane.    :salute

Wow that is really something.  So many connections.   Thanks you Paul Sims for your post.   

:salute to the life and memory of Darwin Addis, and thanks to Vraciu for skinning "Molly".  She's a real stunner and I see her frequently in the air.
