Nice work on the South African!

Also, could you add the RR logos on the engines too?

Re: Fictional paints
Nice paints
though it will be a very bitterly cold day in hell before EasyJet or Ryanair get some of those. Consider it a good thing!

Re: Fictional paints
Install Winrar if you haven't already - a free trial will do.
Re: Fictional paints
I have got it already, I have had no trouble with downloads before, very, very strange. :'(
Re: Fictional paints
I just noticed a problem with the easyjet paint. I am uploading them both to Avsim this time, and will update with links when they're available.

Sorry double post, here are the avsim links:

Re: Fictional paints
Not bad - the BA colours are a little off though. The blue on the belly and tail needs to be a lighter shade (what you've got there is closer to the old Landor colours) - and conversely the BRITISH AIRWAYS titles need to be adjusted a bit. Blue belly line should probably be a little lower too (although I guess we haven't seen the real thing yet!)
Re: Fictional paints
alex0987 - yeah BA have ordered some for delivery in 2013.
Tom - Lighter? The belly, engines and "BRITISH AIRWAYS" are all lighter than the colour taken from a picture (I used the colour of the text from the BA logo), so I was going to make them darker to match the picture. Also what do you think needs changing with the title? I'll move the belly line a bit lower when I get home and have a play with that.
Also, how would you suggest getting the effect on the light/dark stripes down the tail? I've got a gradient which is about the right size etc, but I don't know how to get the pixelated look.
Thanks

Re: Fictional paints
The pixelated look is quite difficult to achieve; I usually create the gradients as black-white (reflected) on separate layers each, but do it around 4x the size you ultimately need. Then try a couple of photoshop filters; I find that "Water Paper" (in sketch) or Halftone Pattern work quite well, although you'll need to do some trial and error).
Once you've done that, scale down to fit the texture, and set each layer to the correct blend (multiply for black gradient, screen for white), and then reduce opacity and clip to the colour shapes.

Re: Fictional paints
Regarding the belly blue, bear in mind that when you take it from a photo it will likely be darker than its true colour due to shading in the photo; plus your paintkit will add shading so it'll be darker again. The blue should be the same colour as the BRITISH AIRWAYS text. The colours in this photo are relatively natural and good for getting a sample.
Re: Fictional paints
What do you think of this shade of blue? Also thanks for the tips on the tail, it turned out very well I think, but it isn't noticeable until you zoom in more.
I still need to play with the angles of the stripes a little I think, and after looking at it for a while the belly line does seem a bit too high.

Re: Fictional paints
Yeah looks better! Although the hue needs a slight change. I'm guessing from the shot that's about 200-205 (too green) - it needs to be closer to around 225.
Re: Fictional paints
Wow nice can i ask how do you get rid of the cargo doors on the left side..
Re: Fictional paints
New blue, lowered the belly line a little:
Re: Fictional paints
One final update on the BA paint, made the logo a little larger similar to that of the 747:
Will be putting this up for download shortly unless someone points something out that needs fixing.

The BA looks nice. I might consider painting one up myself if I have time.

Re: Fictional paints
Looks good! One other thing before I forget - should have mentioned before - BA's white coat is actually slightly off-White (with a slight yellow tint).
Re: Fictional paints
Is that blue dark enough or my age just showing? :lol:
Re: Fictional paints
Beautiful BA paint! I like that you changed the size of the ribbon.
I would imagine they would have that similar to fill up that large space infront of the top deck.

Re: Fictional paints
Klm would be great! Air India would be nice too
Re: Fictional paints
Good luck doing the white "pixels" on the tail. Can't see the grey shading under the ribbon in the front, but maybe my eyes are getting old (like me) . Love the EasyJet and SAA repaints. Good luck with the BA, I don't envy you doing it though .
Re: Fictional paints
Oops! Didn't notice that, I'll paint them on eventuallysknepper wrote:Can't see the grey shading under the ribbon in the front, but maybe my eyes are getting old (like me)
KLM for now, thoughts & feedback please:
Also, what name to give it?
Re: Fictional paints
KLM looks great! Nice work
For the name, how about Vincent Van Gogh or Princess Beatrix?

Re: Fictional paints
Love the colours of the KLM A380. Maybe the logos on the engines could be a smidgen smaller? Otherwise looking very nice . What about a name like "Amsterdamned" or "Rotterdamned"?
Re: Fictional paints
For the KLM name how bout "King of Skies" or "King of the Skies" or "King Holland" or like I have seen in other places "the flying Dutchmen" No matter the name the paint looks great!
8/18/10 : any updates on the KLM?

Re: Fictional paints
Hi guys sorry. I made a few changes: engine "KLM" smaller, dark blue line smaller, added "The Flying Dutchman" at the back, and named it "King of the Skies"
Here's how it looks:
Anything else anyone thinks needs changing?

Hello, sorry for such a delay I've had it done for a while just not got round to posting it on avsim.
I've edited the original post with all the download links (and will continue to for any more I do).
