PeanutButterJelly Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 yes its almost done, i almost made it to the finals, for god pitty sake im tired and i want to go to sleep everytime something popped up, like i found out just now, one arrow is standing in the wrong side of the wing, but oh well, ill change that later this week, allrite why i did this is just a goodbye present because i dont know how much time ill be needed to get back on internet @ my new adress so, i would give you this as a small favour for all the support and nice conversations we had still this is a preview, and small details will be looked at, for once, the blades are not transparant anymorem but still cut trough clouds some shallow textures on the end of the tail, and for some reason i slipped my pen when doing those numbers, need the wheels and the big engine anyway i wish you guys all the joy with it when its released i have to thank naemick & hutchie for posting nice very nice pictures when i needed them the most and i want to thank the guys up ozc if they want to host this pretty bird when its ready and here it is, not to its final staging, but proud to present you : The preview of; General Motors TBM-3E Avenger VH-MML owned by The Avenger TBM-3E BuNo 53857 (VH-MML) was constructed as one of a batch of 900 airframes that was ordered for the US Navy, allocated consecutive Bureau Numbers (BuNo) from 53050 to 53949. Built in 1943, the service history of BuNo 53857 with the US Navy remains elusive but its life in civil service has been better documented. In 1963 it was acquired by Central Air Service of Lewiston, Minnesota and registered as N7017C and remained with Central Air Service until 1972. After a four-year hiatus, in 1976 the machine was registered to Forest Protection Limited (FPL) in the Canadian Province of New Brunswick as C-GFPM, after earlier success with the robust Avengers had convinced FPL of their suitability for water-bombing forest fires. During its time with FPL, it was referred to as Tanker 21 and worked on fire bombing operations throughout Canada and the northern states of the USA. Early in 2005, FPL retired the last of its fleet of TBM Fire Bombers and advertised them for sale, at which time Steve Searle purchased the machine. the real thing and the one painted by me; enjoy you can see it reacts on various lighting, on the dawn flying against the sun itll turn the text a little blue-ish and the fuselage will turn blur-red when reflecting the sunlight as i told before, im not done yet, but feel free to comment, suggest and to critisize this repainting again thanks for the help and the quick posts of pictures needed, thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennyson Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Nice paint, mate, if only I could see it properly. Those pics, on my 3 monitors are very dark. I'd like to see a few more in a light environment, say day time. But beside that, it's a good job and keep at it, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeanutButterJelly Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 a small update on the textures, allready made a new skin for the 2nd release of the tbm-3e this skin is also aplyable on the vh-mml bc that it solves most of the irritating puzzeling, so this is a huge pregress on the vh-mml one step closer to finishing touch to bad i cant make it to friday to make this happen, so you have to wait untill my return on internet im sorry, but i will stay away for atleast a wekk or to, might be much longer meanwhile i can continue painting and when im back on the net youll have it and i bet there will be more to show you guys by then so my appologies for not being fast enough before i move out anywayz have fun with the new improved skin screenshots special thanks to divad_strebor for the small tutorial cheers PBJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeanutButterJelly Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 yes but its limited to the sides only, kinda stupid, so if you know how to solve that would be apreciated, i think you have to do something with the window textures, but i dont know what exactly so if anyone knows a solution to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
