    Okay, after doing that German Viper, I needed some sort of balance. I know I did a WWII US Navy version really early on, but I wanted one done with my new setup. So what better theme to go with than the Flying Tigers? :D It's very similar to an actual paintjob on one of their P-40s, but with a few differences.

    Nice work. I'm a big fan of the AVG, I like this well-done paintjob a lot.

    that looks awesome BJ. The only thing I'd change is the blue stripe-- the ones on the P-40s were pretty thin.

    And I'd add the "Hell's Angel" girl to it as well ;)

    Can you make a ortho of the cylon raider you did earlier? Love all the viper schemes!! How about a xmas one?
  • B.J.B.J.1 Posts: 0Member
    ^:lol: I did this just before I read your comment, nova! I was thinking we needed more decorations around here.

    And I doubt I'll be doing a top view of the Raider. That thing was a pain in the rear just for the side view because of all the different panel colors.
  • TalosTalos0 Posts: 0Member
    Hahaha, the red-nosed Viper. Nice work BJ! :D
  • nova1701dmsnova1701dms331 Posts: 0Member
    Thanks--Looks Great!! Any orthos of viper mk2 or even the new one? I like the fat viper. What program are you using to these?
  • B.J.B.J.1 Posts: 0Member
    Thanks! I really only do the top and side views, so you're out of luck if you're looking for more than that. I've got the Mk II and Mk VII somewhere in this thread, so you'll have to look through the pages to find them. For most of what's seen here, I use Corel Draw. But the updated/redone Mk II and currently in-work Mk VII are done using GIMP.

    Speaking of the Mk VII, here's the latest on that:

    This is going a lot faster than the Mk II because I discovered how to import my shapes from Corel Draw into GIMP!

    That's exceptionally good work. Although I've never even seen an episode of BSG, I really dig this thread.
  • This is sweet!

    Looking great so far, B.J.!! I'll be watching it.

    Dang, I need to get my butt back in gear. How about something quick & easy to get back into the swing of things? I've always liked desert aggressor schemes, so I'm surprised I haven't done one until now!

    BJ

    Nice work on the Vipers man. I really like the varying paint schemes you have going on here. Just one question on how you get such detail in these renderings though, do you trace some of the details or are they pretty much strait freehand?
  • B.J.B.J.1 Posts: 0Member
    Benji, I trace what I can using renders of the official ships, but I have to fill in the gaps on occasion.
  • Ali-SamaAli-Sama0 Posts: 0Member
    nice!
  • bbzwbbzwbbzwbbzw1 Posts: 0Member
    I dig the desert scheme, good to see you back in action!

    Looking good, man. :thumb:

    I guess I need to get my butt in gear and finish coloring up an aggressor scheme for my F-14EJ.
