SuperKungFu Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I asked this once before but had no luck so I want to try again. Is anyone willing to make a simple TAIL section of the F-15? I just want this F-15 Israeli Weathered skin to be finished since it’s just missing a hi-res tail. It can be downloaded here at lockonfiles. The tail section i had in mind was this design [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Deadman Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Yes I could whip something up do you have contact with Oxyd? I usually ask permission before I work on someone else's skins. Do you have any better pictures what is above the outline of the eagle? https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
Deadman Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Hi Hum no reply I threw a Twin Tail Squadron Marker on it redrew the eagle and added some red to the inside of the tail. I reworked the numbers a little. How many beers is this one worth? LOL. Let me know if you like it and I’ll send you a copy 1 https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
SuperKungFu Posted October 13, 2006 Author Posted October 13, 2006 Thanks for taking on this project! Sorry i do not have Oxyd's contact info, but i can help with the pictures There's one here I'll see if i can find more of the same design. As for the number of beers, here's some :drink: :drunk: :beer: lol. I'll just give you some rep points too as a bonus :thumbup: Edit: there's another one here and here but the first one is missing the eagle. And btw, that tail section is SWEET. Thanks man! You are freakin good. I have no idea how did you do that eagle. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Deadman Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I drank three shots of Tullimore Dew and found some more picture :smartass:I have been working on a new Active F-15 and finnished it and was working on a 20th anaversary Hornet skin for the F-15 for a friend and got fead up with it for now so I just did it you asked so nicely and noone else said a fricken thing:cry:Oh and its finished unless you think the colors don't match or some thing :pilotfly: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
SuperKungFu Posted October 13, 2006 Author Posted October 13, 2006 Wow thanks man! the tail is awesome thank you for taking your time to do this for me. And that Active F-15 skin looks sweet. Can't wait to get that in the future. Btw...i been trying to find another skin for a while but havent seen anything similar on lockonfiles. I was wondering is there a skin out there that looks like this? Its like a plain weathered F-15 skin with that slight tint of red outline around the canopy. Its one of those old school f-15c that i would like to see. Did anyone create something similar before? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Deadman Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 No I haven't see one that weathered . I can't see any red around the canopy though sorry https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
SuperKungFu Posted October 13, 2006 Author Posted October 13, 2006 Sorry i got lazy and didnt find a good pic, i think this one shows the red a little bit more [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Deadman Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Well sorry I don,t think I will have time to do a highly weathered F-15 skin right now . may be after the frist of the year https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
SuperKungFu Posted October 13, 2006 Author Posted October 13, 2006 ok thats cool, thanks for your help [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Deadman Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Thank you very much. I admire your work also and thank you again for allowing me to use parts of your F-15 template in some of my work. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
SuperKungFu Posted October 14, 2006 Author Posted October 14, 2006 I'm starting to experiment with some of the skins, when you guys save it to a bmp file, do you usually save it in 32 bit or lower? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TekaTeka Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 I'm starting to experiment with some of the skins, when you guys save it to a bmp file, do you usually save it in 32 bit or lower? 24 bit. You don't need alpha channel. TekaTeka from Japan [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Visit my site Beyond Visual Range.

SuperKungFu Posted October 14, 2006 Author Posted October 14, 2006 im working on a old skool BT F-15A Cool, keep us updated with some pics [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
SuperKungFu Posted October 14, 2006 Author Posted October 14, 2006 btw, how do you guys make a symbol, I'm trying to make one for my initials "MK" but i am having a hard time with it since my photoshop skills suck and there's no fonts out there (that i know of) that can have this affect. This is something i had in mind, i drew it out by pencil lol. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Deadman Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Draw out what you want or close with a pencil and paper then scan it. Start large and finish small. Open with what ever program trace it with the vector tool fill it with solid color or what ever effect you want shrink it to size Placement on the skin is possible in most places but don't be surprised if it gets pulled or twisted out of shape some skins do weird things some times depending on where you place some lines:cry: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
