Wow, that is looking very spiffy. Out of curiosity, how long does something like this take from start to finish.

Oh dog,
if I ever kept track of how long it took to do a good skin with uber detailing I'd get too depressed.
This is an updated skin from an older template. That template probably took a week to do, maybe ten-fifteen hours. This redesign took me about ten hours to get this far and I'll need at least another ten to do some detailing, update the hatches and rivets and fix all the matting problems this particular plane has.
I'll still feel the need to do more work on it, but I stop and move on to another project for the sake of my sanity.
If anyone wants a historical skin, I s'pose I can
lower myself to doing one.
Thanks for asking,
Falcon

That is a ton of time per plane! You must be pretty handy with Photoshop to be able to pull something like this off. I especially like the fact that you placed the Fighting Irish and your Callsign on the plane without making it look cheesy. It meshes in real nice with the overall feel of the plane.

I felt that even if I am only a wee bit of Fenian's imagination I should still do something for our progenator.
Thanks Fenian and everyone else for being a part of the best place to hang out.
If anyone else wants one the FEW options are:
name
number.
Anything else may take a week or more.

Could we have Messers over Mersey?


Made of bad metal and with lots of holes - just like my plane.

f_b,
I have a pretty good 109 template.
All these are made from the same template and will work on 109F's, G's and K's.
If you have a particular camo/paint design, I'll be happy to look into making it for you. When you become a member, I'll come back and put a number on it.
