I used to own a Stinson 108-3 and would love to have the original in my livery. The one I use for FSX is the freeware by M. Allen Richards downloadable as Stinson_ 108_3.zip. I don't have the skills to do this myself and I'm wondering if someone here could do it for me and if I could afford it?  This is what it looks like:





ok      

[color=#000000]I can probably do it, if the model works in FS9. I don't have FSX. The biggest problem would be the squirrel. Do you have a larger version of the second image? Also, I need to know where to get the aircraft. SimV does not support file names for downloads. As to cost, it's freeware isn't it. Repainting is my hobby, I don't charge for something like this.
Cheers.

Thanks for the reply patchz.  The Stinson I downloaded as fsx_stinson_108.zip from fsnorthwest.net as freeware, and it appears to be programmed for FSX so I'm guessing (but do not know) that it would NOT work in FS9.  So I may have to end up seeing if I could learn something and jump in myself ....  which wouldn't be a bad thing ... just hard.  :-?  But I do appreciate your offering if it was for FS9.

I just checked Phil Talyor's list ( I guess you have to register to even see the downloads at FSnorthwest.net, because I couldn't find anything there), and this plane is indeed a FSX native plane.

Ah great ..... I'll dig through my old photo books in storage tomorrow and see if I can find a better pic of the squirrel.

Edit: Dang .... the best picture of the squirrel seems to be the first one in this post.

Great ..... another squirrel would be fine. I'm finding old scans but not the actual physical photos ...  but here's another example of the squirrel on the passenger's side.

Is this any use to you...



Passed an hour or so for me.

WOW!!! That is absolutely perfect.  Where on earth did you find that?  That is exactly the same squirrel ... the right color. Was that an image from an old comics character or something?  I still can't believe that you found this. Thanks very much ......  8-) 8-) 8-)

I found it on my PC on the end of my Wacom pen... in other words, I drew it.

I more than like it ..... thank you.  patchz might want it ... I don't know, but I would like it for possible future use if you would send it.

Here ya go... http://www.digital-essence.co.uk/misc/bushytail.7z

The background is used as the base colour... not really had time to cut the Squirrel out, but it isn't a difficult thing to do for anyone who wants to. Everything else is layered though.

Thanks mate! Awesome work.

Grizzard, as you might have seen in the Repaints forum I'm having some issues with aliasing the textures to the model, but I hope I'll get it sorted later this week.
