Default [REL] SWC's Atlantic Prowler VIIC

The sister ship to the Baron of the Seas is out of my dry docks. The camo pattern on the Prowler is similar to the Baron's, but the conning tower's been altered and so has the hull pattern.



At night she's almost invisible above the waves, here's my proof:

The top is original and unedited, the bottom has been lightened by photoshop:



Really nice looking boat if I may say so myself

Thanks again Cap Unusual certainly sums it up about right
I was wanting to mimic what some of the British ships display but I didn't want to copy the entire pattern. Kind of looks like something spiderman would take to sea

I was wondering if at some point you would like to try a pattern like this for a second variant of your "Prawler", for a VIIc, of course:

i know it is not a good skin, but that's the limit of my skinning skills.
Besides, now that I think about it, it looks too bright, it should look darker. Well, maybe it's a bad idea after all.

Cap I'm with Koon - that looks like an outstanding skin Certainly blends in with the ocean and that's always nice to see That's certainly not a bad skin at all!!

I wouldn't know how to mimic that pattern, but I can email you a blank VIIC template followed by a template detailing what everything is on the blank one and you can layer that skin over it if you'd like. If that idea doesn't work for you then I can give it a shot myself but I'd be glad to help you out

What program do you use for editing these tga files Cap?

Photoshop... I hope I can do it on a VIIC skin... please, if possible, make your instructions as clear as possible, i am kind of in that area. :rotfl:
Thanks a lot SWC. BTW, I hope you enjoyed your day at the beach with your wife.

Cap if you go to the BtS forums I'll start working on a tutorial for you. Keep your eyes peeled for that thread, especially since this is made easier for you with PSD files
