Adam Banks Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I decided I liked this bug-eyed oddity after all! So ... I had a bit of fun with it - taking a few ORBS/FTX liberties along the way! NZ regos don't go to 4 characters, so had to plump for ZK-FTX instead! If anyone wants either of these, I'll parcel them up properly and put them on OzX. What about a VH variant? If ORBX objects to me appropriating their branding, please say so and I'll remove these pics and won't distribute the repaints. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Banks Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 @John (Venema) ... I can't PM you for some reason, so here we go in public (!): As a (sort of) thank-you, I've created a pair of repaints for the Edgley Optica. Both have ORBX/FTX branding, so I thought I'd better run it past you. I'm an ex graphic designer and used to be pretty anal about use/abuse of other people's logos or I.P. Let me know your thoughts on this. They currently only live on my local PC and I've no intention of doing anything with them until I hear back. I'm also quite happy to remove the 5 pics I've put up if you say there's a problem. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Banks Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 This is a desperate attempt to get someone at ORBX to approve these repaints so I can pass them on - if all is OK. I promise to stop after this one Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Banks Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Well ... I have the 3 repaints all zipped up and ready to go ... but no-one at ORBX seems to want to respond - and I can't seem to be able to PM anybody. I've also posted a plea in other areas of the forum. Are they all on a well-earned holiday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hope you get the go-ahead - these look very nice indeed. Cheers Mallard (PS - The-powers-that-be are probably all flying around and checking out Wales at the moment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Banks Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Well ... I must say I'm getting a bit "miffed" about this! I've asked repeatedly in this topic - and tried to PM someone - *anyone* - at ORBX, but no-one is able to receive PM's. How on earth do I actually get in touch? Here's me, trying to do "the right thing" by asking I wonder why I bothered. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Hi Adam, perhaps you should try a post in the "General Discussion" part of the forum? It would be an awful shame if these great paints couldn't make it to the FTX-skies... Cheers Mallard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Banks Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 perhaps you should try a post in the "General Discussion" part of the forum? I tried that - but can't find the topic now. I'll have another try there. Any more of this and I'm pulling the files and removing the pics. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Kae Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Sorry mate, we have just been a bit busy with other things as you may have noticed.. it is a wonderful paint job, please by all means, we'd be honoured to have you release that (On a personal note, can you please also upload to http://aussiex.org ?

I'll do the AussieX upload dance shortly. It's the *only* place I upload my repaints to. Fantastic site and a tremendous resource for us simmers. I'll pop a note here when it's gone up and approved at AussieX. Thanks, Adam. P.S. Just saw your note, John - many thanks! And best of luck with Wales, sales (*awful* pun - sorry!). I'm sure we'll be seeing lots of very tempting screenshots on this forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Banks Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 The repaints have now gone up to OzX - yay!!! I think JK has to approve them first, so this link may not work: http://aussiex.org/f...-orbx-liveries/ Jay - I may have uploaded it to the wrong section. Had to stick it in the pacific region but it has a UK livery in there as well. Many thanks to ORBX - and to all patient readers of this topic. Sorry if I got ratty! Adam.
