Hmmm...quite the list...seen some around on other sites. Probably take a couple of months if not a year of round the clock work to get all those done.

Sure there are some already out there...if not, you'll just have to wait till someone gets around to doing them...

Is there something preventing you from learning how to do it yourself? One or two aircraft are one thing, but that list could almost demand money. Either that or the list would be split up among a half dozen repainters or something ike that. Either way, I am afraid it isnt me as I already have too many irons in the fire at the moment.

Half a dozen?? More than that methinks GS...a coalition of painters would be suitable. That list is not a challenge...it's a life sentence...

LOL

I could not help but notice that the initiator of this posting has just joined the Surclaro with his first entry. Please give us a brief history of your painting background. How many paintings have you done so far? Cool

I have done the Bluestream Airlines birds, also just finishing up a fleet for TSAviation as well as a couple of specials for their demonstration team, the TS Twisters. I am also the aircraft painting instructor at FSDUonline.

NO WAY!!!!

Im not expecting anyone to do all of them... just gave you a list of flights, and if you want (just for the sake of it) look at them and see if you would like to have a try... no forcing anyone, just displaying.

i am more of an airplane collector, and an airline livery fanatic. My drawing skills: a stick man is my version of the mona lisa. Embarassed

But I have some books on planes and airliners (but living in malaysia makes it very expensive to buy books).

Also, where do I find software to produce these planes. Malaysia isn't the best place to look for advanced or higher-medium programs. Just games and computer programs (like Norton AntiVirus, Microsoft Office 2005, etc.)

Okay...now we are clear on that. LOL

We know you were just displaying...as I'm sure you know we were just bugging ya. Its all good. In order to produce the a/c you mentioned you need a painting program like Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop. Plus DXTBmp and Imagetool. Start with learning about those first, and how to do graphics and you are on your way.

I found a nice freeware paint program that is very nicely featured, check it out.

They also have other language versions available.

I have checked it out and DXTbmp has no problem linking to it.
