My first try at painting

Go easy...I'm a virgin...

That's nice, much better than what I could do.

Yes, me too, what program did you use

That is very nice i like that.

Thanks guys. I used a Poskey 737-800 and their paint kit. I used DXTBmp to convert the extended bitmap that FS2004 uses and Poskey provides, to a regular 24-bit bitmap and saved the file under a new name.

I then opened the new 24 bit bitmap in photoshop 7 and did my painting. I saved my worked and then opened the new painted bitmap in DXTBmp and then saved the new painted file as an extended .bmp and placed it in my texture folder for the Poskey 738.

HTH...

I like it Steve, nice claen lines, have you uploaded it anywhere?
Don't stop painting, we want more.

Thanks Mate. I haven't uploaded it because it's my little VA that I'm playing around with. I'm going to do more and make them more general.

Not bad for a virgin there... I won't tell if you won't.

(kidding. great work there)

Thats wicked! Much better than what i could do. If i tried to paint and post it on here, your eyes would probably explode because its so bad

Reminds me of this

Yes it does..very cool. I'm in New Mexico so that's the reason for the Zia Sun symbol...

Boy am I glad they changed the engines on the 737... the original ones looked like 2 cigars strapped to the bottom.

Your repaint looks awesome!

Thanks for the nice words everyone. Here's a couple more that I was playing around with.

Just Blue and Grey

I like the Blue one that looks cool.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Heck, put a Steeler logo on that and it will be perfect hahahaha.

Yes it would and great idea...
