Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I think it's a bit like one's spouse...I think you yourself should be able to see the beauty that many others might not. Yep, it's a beauty! Definitely fantastic shots. Got my own love, though...but glad you two found each other! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 (edited) Now that's a shiny bird! Lookin' real' good! I wonder if anyone ever tried to simulate thje stressed metal skin. I believe someone on HS did that some time back. He sanded wee shallow valleys in between the rivet lines. IIRC he did it on a camo'ed plane. But on a polished one like this, it'd really stand out! EDIT: Google turned the article up in next to no time: CLICKY The last pic shows what I mean. That on a NMF plane.... Edited October 14, 2006 by ChernayaAkula Quote Link to post Share on other sites

geedubelyer Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 She sure is shiny! :) That's one SHARP looking Starfighter. Thanks for the link. Great pics. And thankyou too ChernayaAkula, that article on reproducing stressed skin effect is very interesting. Something I've been wanting to attempt for some time. :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
