ChrisB 11 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Work In Progress - no Alpha Man that paintkit is "interesting" Real world skin, except the RW plane is a Navajo. Well... I liked the scheme, anyway. I am having to make extensive use of two networked PCs for this one! Paint a bit, DXTbmp it, push it over to the other PC, rebuild aircraft. Getting the nacelle side-stripes to line is also "interesting" to say the least. As for the cabin door! Well! you have to up-scale the trim by 175% and only a bit of the logo ovelaps, so it's cut out... The really good thing though, is Tobias' psd files. The trim and detail layers are exceedingly lovingly detailed. The results, once you have managed to get a skin panel finished, are superb thanks to the work that was put into the paint template. The downside of such detail is fourteen skin panels that need painting and tweaking. A Cheyenne repaint can be as much work as a dozen Eagles for me :wink: Anyway - enjoy these two teasers. No wonder it's taking time for repaints to hit the market... :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer metzgergva 210 Posted August 2, 2006 Developer Share Posted August 2, 2006 ...well then your work is a look into the future or better times for that company. Great work! Hope many more to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB 11 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 Try some of this... Upload in a day or two, once I have created corrected logos (the only available ones online show the AS 350 but the Airliners net photo shows a Navajo in the logo.) Apropos Navajo - the original for this registration is a Navajo. The Heli Rescue service gets a "free sim upgrade" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Georg/EDDF 0 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hi Chris, please try to replace the link the photo with that one: http://airliners.net/open.file/0873308/L/ (large) ... or http://airliners.net/open.file/0873308/M/ (medium) Airliners.net has a shortned link lik this one directly above every image, and you should always use them instead of the URL displayed in your browser. This way you can avoid that your thread becomes 25.000 pixels wide :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco EDDF 1 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 OMG! :shock: Chris, believe it or not, the other day I was browsing Cheyenne-pictures on a.net. I came across that HB and it is my favourite livery. Cannot believe I will be able to fly her in the sim. Thanks in advance for this excellent work!

ChrisB 11 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 OK, at the moment I am a bit stumped. Anyone know how I can take those 15 horizontal trimlines and convert them into a smooth "wraparound" under the rear of the fuselage please? A single line I can "paint" on the tablet, but a whole band of lines isn't that easy? I'd like to do them together, but it is turning out to be a lot fiddly! I am still working on it. Marco, it'll be a pleasure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToniJH80 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I would like to see US registered Cheyenne. Like N444WC, N51RM, N231PT, N186GA and N410CA :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB 11 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Well, the Hawke's Bay paint has just been given it's blessings by the real world HB Rescue Service, so that should be up tonight. There's still some tweaking to do on the "Swiss Paint" - getting those "wraparound" lines right is not going my way. I should also consider finding the owner of HB LNL if this is possible - one owes the plane owners at least the opportunity of seeing that their property is going to be flying in bits and bytes.

ChrisB 11 Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 ? Sorry Tobias - I must be a bit blind I must go back to airliners.net and look see - but could you be referring to the Buecker website? I think it's Daniel Knutti Later...

ChrisB 11 Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Slight hold on the Cheyennes while I wait for a couple of "Owner feedbacks" - The New Zealand owners have posed a question about the sponsor logos - so could be in for a legit bit of extra colour.
