Look what you've created, Rick! I was perfectly happy flying any old skin. But now...I must skin every plane I fly!

Nice! Just hope you don't catch it to the degree Olham and Louvert have it, you'll only take to the sky in Louvre quality masterpieces!

Nice job Slick! I know the feeling.

Thanks, guys. My skills are growing slowly, but it's becoming addicting.

I wouldn't have even started to attempt a custom skin without Rick's pushing us! salute

It's absolutely Rick's fault.

I LOVE that shade of blue on your bird!

It must not be complex or complicated - the blue wings alone fitted nicely
with the warm plywood tone; excellent choice of colour IMHO.
That you could ad an emblem is a cherry on the ice cream.
But I would like to encourage those, who find it troublesome:
experiment with just stripes or a part in your own colour, try to find a tone
that looks good ingame (yeah, I know it's nervewrecking ins and outs of the sim;
I hate it too, but it must be done) - and you may come up with something unique.

Very nice. Skinning is addicting, and it's cheaper than buying models and assembling them and painting them. Plus you get to fly them when you are done. wink

Same here, Slick, same here. Just cannot get enough of skinning.
Rick Rawlings! It's all your fault. My life will never be the same again!

You poor bastiges, you can all say good bye to the lives you once knew. With the skinning monkey now firmly planted on your collective backs you're all goners. The middle of the night wake-ups, suddenly jonesing for a new paint, with no choice but to park in front of the computer until it's done; at a party when a new skin idea crawls into your brain and eats away until you are forced to go and satisfy the insipid thing; the tender family moments forever invaded by the harrowing hunger that can ne'er be sated. All this and more is yours now that you've entered the hell reserved for 'skinners'. Welcome.

My wife received a letter from Stealem and Fleezem Law firm that a class action suit is being brought against someone who posted a tutorial on skinning. Said something about "if your husband has been having trouble sleeping, getting out of bed late at night for no explanation, sitting on the couch with a stupid look on his face while you are supposed to be watching a movie, or replies to every question you ask with "Huh?" call BR549. biggrin
