Just curious what everyone is working on at the current moment! Leave a preview a teaser WIP screen shots whatever!
Lets see them WC!
ID Posted one in 2007 Link and 2008 Link and I did one in 2010 Link and 2011 Link so here we go 2012!

Been skinning a BAC One-Eleven for FSX ....as a QANTAS aircraft [they didn't use them as they're short range only - not 'overseas' enough].
The skin 'method' is pretty well different for EVERY aircraft model..... so the learning curve is kinda flat-lined - you ALWAYS are learning.
'only' 18 files needed working ....though 16 of those have alpha channels ....so that makes 34....
Still, less than some...
It took about 2 days....to convert the 'inset' skin to what's in the main Pic. It's a 'what if' as QANTAS never flew BAC 1-11s as they were short range only. When you get 'carried away' with skinning you do things like find the genuine coat of arms for 'City of Melbourne' - as QANTAS aircraft are typically named after cities.
The ATC call-sign is not real either....it's my father's Ham Radio call.... VK3-DEK. The background is our local 'DFO' [Factory Outlet shopping center] just on the south edge of Essendon Airport, and yes, the cars are 'real'....eg. the station wagons are HQ-vintage Holdens.....nothing beats 'detail'....
Skinning aircraft, as with any other skinning often requires per-pixel adjustments..... you have to....as mistakes can annoy the crap out of you if you leave them be....and so many times others' skins I look into are particularly fault-ridden.

Here is another one I have been working on mother's dying embers, and it goes well with BoXXi's Beelzebub window blind,

When I was younger my family used to go on holidays to spain and very often we flew with a jet called "Caravelle".
-It´s my favourite Jet, it had "Triangular" Passenger windows... You know ?
Cool!
Yeah. Different, and a different approach is always welcome in my hut.
that's pretty cool Mrs S....
I imagine there would be spinning/weaving/yarn websites/blogs/newsletters.... that would be happy to use a graphic like that... very creative...
Odd one.....triangular windows would create stress risers [corners] which is why 'most' use round...or rounded 'square' ...
Look at 2 of 3´s pic there and you see they are indeed triangular WITH rounded corners....Ah well just thought it be a cool different thing since you´re into aircraft.
