NickMow Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Still playing about with the Gimp. Tried to approximate a Warrior Scheme for the Pizzaro. Again using Dejawolfs splendid template and using Wardogs BATUS scheme as a guideline to get the colours lined up. Due credit to both you guys. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us again all comments welcome. I think Im getting the hang of this skin thing now. Though the Pizz has lots of boxes hanging off it and took a couple of hours to work out what goes where. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingtiger Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 on the other hand, on scale modelling you dont have to face mirrored sides that mess up your camo pattern etc. But nice work on the pizzaro /KT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 No, what we need is a Warrior. Nice interim measure though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickMow Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 A desert version ? Hmmmm a work in progress, trying to get the Dust effect right before I upload Uploaded with ImageShack.us Edit, tried a more subtle approach to the dust, Problem is the wheel skirts are repeated so it looks too regular, I think this is an improvement Uploaded with ImageShack.us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

congo Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Nick, This is the one I run in game and is 1024, It was developed from the one I attached and the one I included in my Spanish pack. It is more detailed and better balanced than the attached one in the earlier post. If you would like to have it just say the word and I will attach this one also.

NickMow Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Congo, that is a work of art !, be kind of you let me use it. Do you start your work with a template ? or use the default skin and customise it ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
congo Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Congo, that is a work of art !, be kind of you let me use it. Do you start your work with a template ? or use the default skin and customise it ? A little of each depending on what I'm trying to acheive. I'll sometimes make a template with all the hardware I intend to highlight, nuts, rivets etc. And leave them as layers so they can be used on all models of the same type. When doing weathering most definitely work with layers. I guess a lot I just do by hand as I've used photoshop so much I can just do it. The best thing you can do is learn your photo-editing software,s toolbox, how to do straight lines,circles and various shapes and how to work with layers, drop shadow and such. anyway here is the file with turret top.

NickMow Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 That's great Congo, thanks for the advice, your work is remarkable. I'm starting to get to grips with the tool section. It's fun experimenting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
