thats pretty good lorti..
it looks clean out of the showroom and I hope you are planning to add some textures to the engines as well Wink

i have to say personally, I prefer that dirty look lol
but once again this is pretty good, I guess Exx has some competition now Razz

Not bad Lorti...waiting for the finished product from ya. Keep it up man.

Last time I looked...Macromedia's Fireworks wasn't free...if it is...I want my $$ back for the entire MX package! Wink

You using a demo? You got 30 days to finish that paint if you are...hehee. Good idea though...but it is no Photoshop...not even close. Use the demo of FSRepaint as well to preview your a/c instead of having to boot up FS all the time.

Whats the reg # on that Qantas you are doing?

I dont care if it's purple with yellow polka dots...good job on figuring out the process and getting it to appear correctly. Keep on painting, keep us posted and let us know if you need any advice on writing up install/readme/disclaimers.txt

congrats dude!

Im doing VH-OJP

Thats a POS 747-400 right? Engine textures won't show up until you paint them...

Repainter's forum. Lots of great tutes and things you have to know before you embark on such a journey.

Now you are going to find out the limitations of Fireworks as well... Wink

The easiest way I found to find parts on any paint kit is to actually put numbers on all the parts, then put it together and make notes of all the key components. For smaller sections...I paint them like weird color (pink.green,mauve etc.) and see where they show up.

Hope that helps. Nice to see you still at it.
