Milviz F-100D Progress Shots (WIP)

[DagR]

Outstanding Rick!! :-)


Best regards Dag

Looking much better, I specially like the new bump maps

[hairyspin]

The skin looks much less like (rectangular) fish scales now but I'm nervous being so near that gaping mouth... makes me feel like a dragonfly... gulp.

[Dutcheeseblend]

What's that face in the texture of the droptank?
...
Oh wait, it's me, staring at this marvallous model/texture

[Mach3DS]

Thabks all. MV made a pretty good paint kit. Very detailed. Their original texture artist is a real master. The bumps are coming along...just trying to eliminate some residual pixelation and they should be ready to go for use in future work.

[Ian Warren]

Looking superb Rick

[ejoiner]

This big brute just keeps looking better and better. Cant wait for it.

95% there...I don't really call this a paint job...more like lack of paint...

[DaveB]

Love the second shot Rick

This bare metal work is simply stunning. I am looking forward to flying this one "nekkid" as show here! (not me...the plane. thank GOD!)

Seems almost shameful to put squadron paint on such a great bare metal scheme.

Really getting a bad case of the "I want its" with this one.

Yes, but just think about all the really colourful schemes this bird has worn over the years.

*GASP* that is beee-yuteefull, Rick!

[odourboy]

and a beast too... with some teeth!

[Mach3DS]

99% done with this one...just a few more small adjustments

[wombat666]

Good looking bird!
We had some great support from the old Hun back in SEA.

[WarHorse47]

Beautiful shots. Beautiful paints.

Are these going to be part of the release or addons? Is there any update on the release status (top secret, I know, but had to ask).

[Sundog]

That Sabre looks super!

[jankees]

it certainly looks good!
One little thing though: the rear of the fuselage seems to have a slightly different color. Is that due to the engine heat?

[falcon409]

Yes it is due to engine heat. Also as the aircraft became more and more "broken in", that break between the forward fuselage and the engine portion became slightly less obvious. . .being even more evident when they went to SEA Camo and the heat would affect the paint in that area.

[Mach3DS]

@jankees, what falcon said! he beat me to it...

@Warhorse, so just to clarify my role with MV...I've bwen a long time beta tester. I obviously have access to the paint kit, and I've been working on some skins for it. whether or not the Big Cheese decides to include them is up to him! As far as an actual update goes, Kat from MV frequents these threads. I don't generally comment on behalf of MV so as not to mistakenly infer expectations beyond what has been officially disclosed or what you can see from these screens. I always ask Colin prior to starting a thread regarding aircraft in beta for permission to post screens....and I should add again...it's all WIP.

[hae5904]

It would be "stupid" of MV NOT to include them, they look great Rick, sure as basic scheme for a lot of repaints.
Hopefully you won't forget the exhaust?? ( just a minor observation.... )





Do you happen to know if MV will also include the later J57 exhausts, the surplus J57's of the F-102?




Cheers,
Hank

[Mach3DS]

Exhaust petals is part of the 1% Very easy fix. Thanks Hank. These are left over from completely redoing the alpha to play nice with the bump maps. Although it will be used with the Tbird scheme I'm doing...that's been posted over in the P3D forum a while back.

[WombRaider78]

Triggered.

[Jafo]

Ah for a Thud done to the same standard....

[Daveroo]

just found out that the man who stood up from my dad back in 1957,worked on engines in the F-100...i always find it insterresting to learn that a man (or woman) ive known all my life,did things i had no idea about.
