My first repaint.

Well done Captain Pugwash......see...if you persevere it gets results. From here on you should get 'hooked' and many new paint schemes will roll out from your virtual hangar.

I was in exactly the same position as you not that long ago and I seem to learn something new everyday.....best of all it's fun and that is what this hobby is all about so keep up the good work and well done once again.

Regards.

Very nice, careful you don't get hooked by the repainting bug.

Very nice CP

One thing though

I assume you have the lines foe the engine nacelle and the undercarriage on a separate layer?.....reduce the opacity of those black line down to about 20 per cent.

They will then appear as detail lines in a version of the base colour.

It's worth playing around with the opacity

garry i noted all that you said on my other thread and have written down for later . as i had no paint kit and had to work from another aircraft texture, i tried to tone down the colours. from the mistakes and learning process i now know where and what to do for the next project.
the file if opened show's only the base texture. the layers all joined in to one. :shock: . it was fun and i think another practise is called for, not that her in doors will be happy.
dispatchdragon tried to contact mark ( trislander maker )about publishing this texture, no luck with the supplied e-mail. so do i publish with a disclamer?. pls remember that this is a first attempt and only 98% correct.
this aircraft was based on G-BAXD has no pattern on tail. will change the reg over before release. due to finding out three other loganair aircraft have been painted.

G-BAXD would not be a good move as it was a short nosed Trislander.

Marcel is not easy to get hold of...infact I never managed it

Nice job though....and it's sharp

CP,

The other Trislander Loganair textures you found were probably mine. For both these and the BAe146 repaints, I sent an e-mail to the model authors (Kuhnt and Murchison) with screenshots and indicated that they would be posted at http://www.classicbritishfiles.com/.

Having heard nothing back, I uploaded them anyway - just the textures, leaving the model to be downloaded separately.

If I ever have a request to remove them, I know where I uploaded them so can be removed.

CP,

Separate response since different topic. (a bit later)

Although the original texture file is all on one layer, there is nothing to stop you making the changes to a new layer.

Looking at my Trislander repaints, I have various textures "above" the original texture so that they show instead of the original. The advantage, of course, is that if I screw up the new texture, everything else is still ok.
So I have a "fuselage" texture with the coloured areas added, etc.

And finally once everything seems ok (until Garry has a look :roll: ) I save all the layers as a flattened BMP file. But I do keep the original layered file so that I can make simple changes.

If none of this makes sense, then ask - the ability to use layers in the various paint programmes should make life easier if you know how

Ian.

Spot on Ian...nothing wrong with your work either

One can always trace over to original layers.

Another way is to put a copy of the colour layer with the lines removed over the paint and then reduce the opacity so the lines show through fainter without lightening the base colours.

That is a simply fix.......your method there Ian is very sound as you have the separate layer for other paints.

The beauty is the variety of ways things can be achieved with a satisfactory result.
