Another One On The Production Line

[Smutley]

Just some preview shots of a paint I'm doing for a good friend of mine, using the POSKY A330-300. Still some more work to do on her, but she should be complete by the end of the week.

WAAAAAYYY COOL!!!
Simon, this is incredible work sir ~ you definitely have the touch.

Is that REX providing the sky/cloud textures? They look amazing!

[Smutley]

Thanks for the kind comment Glenn. Been throwing my hat into the painting ring for about a year now, if only I could afford adobe photoshop. I must admit that the design tablet has definitely helped.

As for the sky textures, they are by Cielosim and are called Instant Enhancer and Flight Enhancer, for FS9.

Download thousands of pictures, then download an editing suite, I use Paint.NET. Then download a paintkit for the aircraft you want to paint. Make a total hash of it a couple of dozen times, then read the instructions properly. Make sure you've got about three million layers to paint on...........
Then have a look at these websites.

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3 really.

Looks brilliant...

How do you open up the paint kits? All I have seen are for photoshop.

[Smutley]

Thanks for the reply Joe.

With Paint.NET you can download a plugin to open PSD files. It's a bit slow but it works OK.

Looks great so far Simon. Nice work!
