Lightning strikes...

Postby patchz » Sat Aug 08, 2009 1:04 am

[color=#000000]But you probably won't hear the thunder if you get hit by this Lightning.

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

[color=#000000]Thanks. The reason the lower portions of the fuselage and cowlings seems brighter in that first shot, is I got lucky and took the capture as lightning struck somewhere behind the camera. As to the paint, I worked on a different scheme off and on for a week and was never happy with it. This one took about three hours before I was satisfied, and was a lot easier.

very very nice!! i especially like the darker paint on the inside parts of the engines and in front of the cockpit (reduces glare i'm assuming?). textures look awesome :) question: what are those black things on top of each engine section right above the wings?

If you mean ATC, I'm crazy, but not that crazy. Being a cop was stressful enough. [/color]
Just curious, was one myself 'til Mr Reagan showed us the door back in '81
