Need help with a repaint

[Axenti]

Hi guys, i'm starting on a new repaint
but there are some detailes that are missing on the repaint
i dont know how to solve that a little help will be welcome
the problem is like this:

This is the plain that i'm repainting:
Spitfire ixc from the stock airplain CFS3

Here i'm starting on the repaint:

Like you see there is something missing here is the
left side finisched.

Its a sollid smooth street cammo but if you see the
standart collor on the wings you see like plate working paint
rivets? or how do you call this?

bellow is where im colloring in a flamische Lion

Now here is it finisched like the best thing i can do for now

But i want the plate work on the cammo so it looks like the real thing
how is the best to do this?

m8...1 st you probably need a template of a spit...I cant help here as i am a spitfiend..hehe...but i could help u with tips on weathering and cammo stuff....

1 st...so far it looks promising ...what program do u use..Photoshop? ...
2ndly...from what I see you need to do is to get rivets and lines in order, then cammo, shadowing and highlights....last weathering...
3 rd go to simmerpaintshop...check out their tutorials....+their forum...
this forum is sorta off topic for the stuff you are asking...I can help do this via PM...or mail...

be specific in what you want,that way its easier to help with answers..

with compress i mean that if i have 2 layers in one file at the paint program and you want to save it the program will say on the moment i save it on DDS file that it must be flatten but i dont know if its gonna work but i'm gonna try the sollid repaint is finisched almost so maybe no is it time to go and make some experiments on the rivets, what do you mean with weather it?

 

[ronnybengt]

weathering means simulating wear, tear, chipsof paint, dirt highs lows and shadows...that will make the skn look real.....chech out the undersider of your skin...see black dirt and different shades of blue/with that emulates real wear and tear...

ok??

so i hope this works out this time
its a lot of work to put the rivets where they must be,
alsow the weaterhing is a little bit searching for the right collers​

I'm allmost at the the tail here​

Here i'm about to finishe the left wing alsow
