The Thomas Ruth Antonov AN 225

[simtech]

Jafo, d/l your AN-225 and it is gorgeous. Thank you for your hard work and exquisite workmanship. I have even put your textures on the original Thomas Ruth rendition. Superb work, sir. Thank you for your gifts..tp

Last 124 to do, I think....again no hope of porting from the 225. So far just the main...no specs etc...just getting the layout to make sense on the smaller plane...

A very nice looking livery that compliments the aircraft's design.

Thanks, Seahawk...it's always more fun to create a 'what if' as it lets your imagination take over...a bit...
Here it is with specs and alphas...getting metal to flare like metal is the fun part...

Last one....

Room for one more...

That’s what the flight attendant said after boarding the 649th passenger in the basement! Great looking paints Jafo.

And....just one more...

 

[Jafo]

Couple more...can't seem to stop...

 

[Jafo]

Definitely last one...before uploading.....One more 'real' one...RA-82080 ...still more to do...

 

[Jafo]

Starting to compile the 124 for upload. It'll be much the same as the previous 225. Looks like it'll have 20 paints apart from the original 'white'.
7 real planes....
8 'fake' passenger....
5 'fake' freight.

I kinda got caught up doing them....on a roll, as they say...

Hey, Fake is the new Real! It's all good!

It's been a long road....back and forward with reworks and tweaks between the 124 and 255 ...but finally the 124 is uploaded.
I'll get around to compiling the Paint Kit and upload that as well...

Here's an early pic....way back when I was trying to rejig from the 225 layout into the 124...and relocate doors etc...

I've just uploaded the HD Paint Kit for the 124, again in 4096 resolution....much the same as what was done for the 225.
They were 'only' related - a bit. It took quite a bit of time/effort to rework the 225 into the 124 as kits....although the porting of actual skins from one to the other was a bit less of a pain....

Somewhere along the line I'd not bothered with the Shuttle version [Buran]...but I've loaded that into my paint version to see how it worked out....probably need to revisit the shuttle itself...and see if I can improve...
