UKJim 502 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Fresh new repaint finished today - Took a few hours but it is finally done The inspiration came from the following postcard and I based my design around that with some slight differences. Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,285 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Nice work Jim, looks great with the paint on polished. Link to post Share on other sites
UKJim 502 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Thanks - just to add I have updated the alpha in this too; so the chrome has different shinyness to the painted parts I also use a custom specular image too. Link to post Share on other sites

stu7708 244 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Great paint job Jim! Love planes with bare metal on them... Is it available for download anywhere?? Link to post Share on other sites
UKJim 502 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Unfortunately not just yet - every time I look at this thread and these screens I notice that the number alignment is not 100% and could do with raising a little. Also the Cessna logo on the tail needs making smaller and re positioning slightly. As soon as I have done this I will upload I think but due to the size of my last paint it will have to go on a different site - but I will definitely be uploading. When I have a link I will post it here buddy - thanks for the interest Link to post Share on other sites

simurq 0 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Now the cockpit looks like a real freight-dog machine... Link to post Share on other sites
UKJim 502 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Now the cockpit looks like a real freight-dog machine... It's kind of my signature tune with this plane so kept it. If when I upload and you don't want this cockpit you can simply copy the default texture into the folder. I might include the instructions to do this in the upload. Its the same car as in my inspiration photo chevvy c1 Link to post Share on other sites
simurq 0 Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Sorry for being a pain in the ass, Jim, but... just out of curiosity - have you finished with this one? If so, can I download this sexy outfit for my birdie? You know, she particularly likes those chrome retouches... Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
UKJim 502 Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Do you know I actualy forgot to upload it - thanks for reminding me mate! The link is here... http://ulozto.net/xLiFPmQT/jd29-chrome-a2a-172-zip Unfortunately it is 10MB too big to fit in Mutleys File Library so I have to use that site - don't worry you dont have to sign up or click ads ect its free. Just simply click the box/zip icon and then put in the text Cheers Jim Link to post Share on other sites

remingtonbox 18 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Ooooohhhh... that is an old school straight tail 172, they are a lot farther off the ground and the panel surround is different. You did a nice job transitioning the paint to the more streamlined shape of the new "body style" 172 Link to post Share on other sites
