VH-Rock Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Hi Folks, It's been a while since I posted any P-51 skins... For the last year or so, I've been working with the fantastic P-51 template that Rudel had been working on when the P-51 was released. My plan was to wait a while and give Rudel chance to release some skins with his own template before I did. Unfortunately, he's very busy working on stuff for Leatherneck Sims. After a brief chat a few days ago, he agreed to let me release the skins I've had in store for a while - I'm so glad to finally get these out the door! The skins, made with Rudel's template, feature a spec layer made by Snowsniper and new normal maps made by myself, with Rudel's corrected panel lines and rivets. I've tried a new technique with the metal on these that, I think, has worked out quite well. I would like to extend my genuine thanks to Rudel for trusting me with his template. I hope you guys enjoy. Here's a couple for today, I'll be adding more over the coming days as I get chance to upload. All the best, Rock.

Whiplash Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Those look great! So much detail I don't even know where to begin, that is a lot of really good work.

westr Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 These skins with better lighting effect are really bringing the mustang up to the standard of more recent modules they look beautiful. I recommend the Baby Duck skin for the mustang as well that's in the downloads section that too has been very nicely done. Thank you for your hard work guys. :).

Chief1942 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 VH-Rock, Hope this doesn't come across as a complaint as I really like the Angels Playmate skin. Is it possible for you to add some gun smoke residue to the wings behind the gun ports. I'm flying that skin and every time I look at those wings, that flat, unblemished surface just jumps out at me. If not, I understand and still appreciate all you skinner's talent. I personally wouldn't have a clue how to do such work.

Teapot Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Fantastic skins! Thank you VH-Rock, Hope this doesn't come across as a complaint as I really like the Angels Playmate skin.

Chief, I think they're supposed to represent the *show* pony's ... as opposed to the battle weary war-horse. At least that's how they look to me, and I agree, it would be nice for a set with a bit of battle wear and tear :).

Flying the Hornet ... big yawn ... flying a Caribou on a beer run to Singapore? Count me in. Extracting a Recon Patrol from a hastily prepared landing strip at a random 6 figure grid reference? Now yer talking!

Teapot is correct, all the aircraft I have skinned are warbirds currently flying somewhere in the world. I like to skin aircraft that I can go and see flying somewhere and you can also get far better references for the artwork. I'm afraid I wont be doing any battle hardened versions of these as I just don't get the same enjoyment from it and my skins collection is huge as it is Virtual Horsemen - Right Wing (P-51) - 2008...
