Blackwater WIP

[SolarEagle]

Wow man, that's a seriously impressive shot!

 

[BananaBob]

Think I'm done with this one, almost looks real. :ernae:

Ready to roll!

 

[VCN-1]

there not called blackwater anymore:

I dont care what they call themselves - they are killing people with impunity in a foreign country with no mandate from congress or the people of the US.

simply a terrorist organisation shoddily mischaracterised as a 'security' firm.

they wear deluxe body armour and use equipment our regular forces cant even aquire - an elite, battle tested army for corporate interests...

even a moron can piece together the dire implications of what that will lead to.

heywooood,
You have to remember that in effect we play games here. We have GA and Tubeliners, we have bombers and fighters with Swastikas and Rising suns, not to mention Fasces and Spanish Republican Xs so as long as we don't make capital on the politics and horrors behind the emblems, we just play games...nicely if possible.

I have no problems with you having issues over repaints - however please don't bring politics into the fray....

I really don't think this was even a BW bird, I made it into one because I like them, remember that I'm not forcing anyone to look, buy, or download, I'm doing what I enjoy and sharing it with whoever wants it, if you don't that's fine, everyone is allowed their own critique but please think about what I stated above. Thanks guys for your opinions, good or bad. :ernae: (I enjoy the good ones better though, LOL)

All politics aside, that's one dynamite looking repaint, Bob. You continue to amaze me.

As for the grass, just looking at those shots reminds me that I liked that technique. Will have to use it again in some upcoming airports. Doing grass that way wasn't my original idea, btw. Stephane LePage (Vauchez) used a technique much like this for his FlightZone02 PDX scenery. Like they say, amateurs plagiarize -- professionals steal.

sorry for the outburst - and to be clear I meant no disrespect to bananabob whos work I greatly appreciate.

this is not a political forum - I'll keep my concerns to myself in that regard on this forum going forward

thank you to one and all

Really nice Heywood, and to think I used to like you.

Your post is exactly the reason that I basically banned myself from posting here, as I don’t want to get officially banned. But your post is over the top and extremely disrespectful.

I know if I were a diplomat going overseas, I would WANT Blackwater to be my bodyguards, especially beings that I am ex military.

Beings that I am ex military, and all/most of Blackwater is ex military, you just called ALL of us terrorists. Maybe you should go to work for Janet Napolitano where you would actually get a paycheck for calling fellow ex military, pro constitution civilians; terrorists. You’re a real class act; NOT!!

Bob, I have always liked not only the colors and design of their paint jobs, but what they have stood for! Then to have you, make it like that, is the cherry on top of the pie. My hats off to ya, and now I will have to get that bird.

Blackwater, where they don’t lose those they protect.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

 

[spotlope]

And this is exactly why we try to avoid politics here.

I've gone off the deep end, believe me so I try to take everything with a grain of salt but we are human, and we do get upset at times, just remember, there are three types of people in this world and if you've watched "Team America - World Police" then you'll know what I'm talking about, LOL And without these 3 types, the world would be an awful boring place. :ernae:

Hey Bob, here's an innocent, non-political question: what gives with the UK reg on the Blackwater chopper?

Say, I just noticed this on that last shot: good lord, that pilot is huge! I swear, he couldn't stand upright under those blades without being instantly decapitated. Looks like he ate several of the dwarf pilots from other FS birds.

Thank you sir, I probably should have banned myself a few times too. :ernae:

It wasn't even a BW chopper I don't think now, but it can be whatever you want really, at least it works with the meds I'm on. :ernae: And that guy is huge! LOL

As you can see from the real photo, it's not even the same bird and I used artistic license to remove the other stripe because it would have been another thing hard to line up.

excuse me but the AAMB American Association members
Banning is a union thang
