Honest opinions needed...

Postby TRflyman01 » Sun Jan 31, 2010 11:47 pm

Finally got onto repainting and can't stop. This is a shot of my third attempt and my first with the Carenado Cessna U206. The other ones were on the Bird Dog.

Anyways, please give me some feedback on the results so far. I would like to know what areas I need to focus on first to improve.

The 206

This was my first attempt...

Thanks in advance for any replys and help!!

Jankees you were right when you said painting was addicting. ;)

Can't see any problems with the first one and if that tail is handpainted then bravo, great work. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Just with the second one, I would personally move the US sign under the wing more towards the wingtip, so it doesn't overlap the strut and flap/aileron. ;)

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

don't say I didn't warn you..

I'll second the motion about the roundel on the second one, that needs to be more outboard.
As for the 1st, it looks great, but there are a few details:
- the text on the nose should be in italics I believe
- the flag is too big
- the bottom stripe/swoosh is too fat, both on the fuselage and on the wheel covers. It is thinner than the top one.
- The swooshes should both be on the top part of the wheel covers, and be thinner.
- I think there is only one (dark) swoosh on the front wheel?
- the tail textures go a bit too high on the stabiliser
- the 'taxi aereo' should be parallel to the text above, and it goes too low on the fuselage (but this may be due to distortions? I don't know these textures)
- the 'Eco tour' seems a bit blurry in this shot?

Aaaaargh, I can hear you think...well, you asked for opinions, sorry about this. It's always the stupid little details.
But seriously, great paint for your third attempt, you should see my third one..eeh, no, you should not..

Thanks for all the replys!! 

Mitch, I only wish I could handpaint like this. This was a copy and paste, from a very detailed shot, then a lot of clone stamping to hide the details of the plane itself.

Jankees, thanks for all the constructive criticism. That is what I was looking for. If I ever figure out the pen tool it will make things alot easier. ;) I made some corrections based on your advice. Thanks!

If you need me to explain what I know of the pen tool, just tell me, OK?
