Going to redo the Austrian 'viper' [20 years] ....I think I'd ended up with the snake head too small... hadn't corrected enough for perspective.

Once done it'll be the next to upload ...;)

I've been 'compiling' and rationalizing my paintkit to be small enough to upload/distribute. The problem with 4096 res kits is they can get kinda big.

Currently, as a PSP file [what I use] it's 52 meg ... and as a PSD it's 69 meg. And that's 'only' 14 layers.

When I originally set it up it was done in a way to easily edit and revise...so it had considerably more....namely 62 layers. PSP6 sees that as 2902.6 meg when loaded - or near enough to the limit of what a 32 bit proggy can manage [even LMA aware]. Actual file size is 135.2 meg.

Needless to say, the same issue applies to the Super Tucano kit.

I think some of the 'bloat' is to do with history relating to undo/redo ... but I can't see a way of scrubbing off past edits hiding somewhere within metadata ...;)
 
I reckon this one's done.
Shall upload a few more over the weekend...;)

Swiss one's next.

The way I've been doing them is that each paint adds to/evolves the paintkit until eventually I've worked out what each bit is and the best way to do it... which means eventually I go back to earlier paints and update them with the new detailing.

This one was done with a different spec. It's a 50% lighter spec with a 'brighter' alpha ...but seems to work OK.
