Bringing Back This Doodle

Over the weekend was the local IPMS club's Swap Meet, and I got several kits for very very cheap. Including a few more Spitfires.
Anybody feel like coming up with a paint scheme or two?

Old Toys...New Playing Around?
Mar. 6th, 2012 04:14 pm
Fourteen years ago, CRIMSON SKIES came and I was so excited about it. I wanted to design planes, and get games going, and really get into the setting. I never got to play, but I did put a few models together and these are some of the paint schemes I'd invented for my fleets. I decided to take an old magazine ad illo (for Cox's model airplanes) and use it as a respository for these schemes and others.
More Of The Same

I'm not done, probably, but I feel close enough to that point.

After doing those entries for the Ace Combat skin design contest on Facebook, I felt a little like doing the same for the aircraft in Hackett Continuum. This is the first of what I hope will be a series of profile sheets. Color and other niceties to follow; this is only a work in progress.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is currently having a contest for new paint schemes. My page is based on their download but expanded and improved upon.
The powers behind the contest say three entries per person, so I intend to submit a few. Watch this space.

Yesterday's Graphic Explained
Dec. 29th, 2010 05:51 pmSo, one of the first things I learn about Win7 is that their version of Paint is quite different from the one in WinXP. So different that I don't so much like it yet. So I copied the XP version from King Kong's HD and installed it on Precious, as a sideman to the Win7 version, which I will learn to use little-by-little.
One thing I like to do is use IrfanView's capability to swap colors around on graphics. So I used Ctrl+Alt+PrtScrn to snatch the color pallets from both versions of Paint, stick them into a common file with a little clean up (using my favorite graphics program, LViewPro), and then subjected the Baseline pallets to the IrfanView color swap methods one by one (five in all). So that's what you see on yesterday's post.

Brainstorm Of Sorts
Jul. 31st, 2010 02:09 pm
A long time ago, when I traded in my unused copy of Battletech: 2nd Edition box set for the then-current Battletech Compendium, I'd taken the unpunched counter sheets to the photocopier on the campus du jour where I went to school. Still have those degraded copies, so I scanned them in last night and started to re-color them using my graphics programs. I'll probably go through all the set before I'm through. My hope is to somehow come upon a color scheme in which I can paint my multitude of miniatures.
Of course, my first thought was to use the heraldric colors of my family coat-of-arms, but those are black and gold, and the result would be like the mascot for NFL On FOX. Not particularly appealing, that.
So I'll post these graphics as I achieve them and see what kind of reaction I get.

Democracy In Mainland China? Go Figure
Jun. 17th, 2010 09:21 pmThe People's Liberation Army Air Force aerobatic demonstration team "August 1st" (*breath*) is re-equipping with J-10s this year, finally retiring the J-7s they've used for decades. Partly because of the embrace of new ideas, and partly because of the poor public reaction to the initial paint scheme shown on scale models at the first press release of the news, the PLAAF is holding a popularity contest to choose the new paint scheme from four candidates.
The scheme that was rejected (called the "White Rabbit Candy Wrapper" by wags):
PS: Also this month, the PLAAF retired the last unit of J-6s (MiG-19 "Farmer") they had in service. They'd been flying them for fifty years--and the planes had allegedly been obsolete for forty of them depending on who you asked.

Making Amends And Amending Makes
Feb. 20th, 2010 04:56 pmThis afternoon was spent at Paul Francis' shop, with a side trip to that little BBQ shop in town for everybody else's lunch. Working on the Skoda car, trying to meet new buddies and reconnect with older ones, still attempting to decide on brown or blue, catching up on gossip.
Did a little research (from a Public Library hardcopy) on pre-war American cars for my Billy Joe's Boys army fluff text.
Finally got some non-depressing weather to gawk at.
Got my check from Jury Duty. Was a tad more than I expected (thank goodness) but waiting for Monday to cash it is is going to drive me crazy.
Got gifts for a couple of my real-life friends--one of them an LJ friend.

Thanks to Paul Francis, a Spitfire VC scale model is on my build list for the year. This diagram is posted in the interest of generating ideas from the readership here. Feel free to download it, color it, and send it back my way if you think you have a good idea. The finished model will have a wingspan of about six inches, so a color scheme shouldn't necessarily be intricate or involved.

Your dominant hues are cyan and green. Although you definately strive to be logical you care about people and know there's a time and place for thinking emotionally. Your head rules most things but your heart rules others, and getting them to meet in the middle takes a lot of your energy some days. Your saturation level is higher than average - You know what you want, but sometimes know not to tell everyone. You value accomplishments and know you can get the job done, so don't be afraid to run out and make things happen. Your outlook on life can be bright or dark, depending on the situation. You are flexible and see things objectively. |
