    What I've learn here on this project as I experiment will help in doing I think the used bare metal cargo 500.


    This is all new except for a few panel lines.




    Various rivets tests. The left side has the same rivets as the bright rivets on the right side. Dull rivets are grunge up somewhat.

    I'm using a program to test bumps mapping under different skin conditions, not about matching skins.

    It's cool, just testing this program that does most of the adjustment on the fly. You can actually see the results before saving it.

    Well I thought I would give the flaps the treatment... track braces and all before I move on to the rest of the wings!


    Example

    That's really nice work TuFun. Did you have to up-size the textures to get that level of detail?

    What I found is the the flap bottom is way smaller compared to the top area. So I went with 4k. The flaps do not go straight back when extended so the rail guides don't match up.

    In the pic the top rail guides match up with the flaps edges even though the are straight on the texture sheet, but the bottom rails do not. Those will have to be angled to match the flaps edge. The model is designed that way but just angle the top rails to match.

    Working on getting the chicken scratch lined up somewhat!

    First two panels are done. Bottom needs to be done also.



    Three paint jobs in one.



    Once finalized the dots will turn into rivets.

    That's amazing work you're doing on the textures. Thanks for the update.

    Those areas like the top and bottom that distort can be done in such a way to look like creases like in this pic.

    Well, thought I would see if I can pinstripe a Howard! This one has a cool pattern on the tails so it's going to be fun!

    Progressing along...

    For what it's worth here some update pics. You might get lucky to fly it some day.

    Setting up a pattern of fastners and rivets for the cowlring textures... later the the big cowling and parts will get the treatment.





    Tails all set just needs color...





    Hope you got a key to the door you'll need one!



    UPDATE: Red pattern now into something usable. Going to do some research how the slots should be on the fastners. Big cowl will get these nice fastners next.

    Well ok looking at pic there are no pop rivets and so gone. What was I thinking... duh! Now much cleaner and looks good in the cockpit.

    Well, now I was trying to figure out why one bezel rivets/lnes had the innies and the other the outies? I did the bumps right... I know I did I did!

    Hmm... so I thought to flip half the bump texture and voila both innies... yeaaaaaaa!

    Right side #2 engine...



    Left side # 1 engine...

    Beautiful work Ted, and, for me anyway, a great tutorial series as I watch and see the evolution of your work. Your remarks are also helpful and provide insight into your reasoning, intention, and approach. And, although this is all very subjective and not for everyone, it certainly is and has been an enjoyable and informative process/series for me. Thank you.
