Catherine and Heathcliff would be proud of you, Tom, as you take the 2000 to new Weathering Heights.

Let's face it, many skins are great "factory fresh" presentations, which is fine for airshows and museums and those rare new delivery birds, but not really what most people see on a flying airframe.

Weathering is what makes the planes look real. It's also not as simple to do (note: simple and easy are not synonyms, something can be hard but simple) and some skinners out there either avoid it or aren't great at it.

You, sir, deserve an internet medal for both attempting and succeeding in taking the extra steps. smile

Couldnt agree more with you, weathering is KEY to make planes look REAL and at the same time to enjoy way more making zoom to them and see all little details so well said!!! thumbsup

and there is where the fun of skin making is, at least to me smile

WIP of a Ohio National Guard I was working on this weekend




I'll also make a Su-25T version, then back to A2A Mustang for a couple of skins requests.

I too agree with the Jedi. Your skins are top notch Thomas_DW, but you excel in making them look real!

Shame you don't code, just think what could be :-)
