[WIP] SWC's IXB Repaint

[-SWCowboy.]

This is my first project, I'm testing the water and trying to give Koon a little run for his money :p

I'm repainting this based off Koon's 9B's, there is no rust - yet, all of the rivets were hand placed back into position after I painted over them and I'm not done with that part yet... Perhaps the red needs to be a little darker but we'll see how she goes when I get back from the football game... (Go Gators!!!)

My IXB nicknamed "Vengance Is Mine"

Its not a bad job,
diferent yes...:up:


but for me mate, it looks like
a Christhmas Gift !:hmm:


But defenetly diferent !:yep:

[-SWCowboy.]

Yep, red, I need a base-coat for this paint scheme. :yep: I'm leaning on a camo pattern for this, not sure if I can pull it off yet but it's back to slingin my paint :cool:

Different is always good, keeps things interesting for me. This thing looks really sweet in the game, just gotta get the daggone conning tower to look right :damn:

Maybe CocaCola logo as a cammo pattern... ?

Now hear this...I work for Coke and by all means I would toss a copyright infringment up his keyster...thats right Russ (he knows I would too)

BtW Russ...I showed this to my gal....she likes it...3 snaps with a Z :up: :yep:

Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (The Red Baron) would be proud to command this U-boat.

Congratulations, NonRuss, you the only one who got it seriously... Kiss to your gal:up:
We'll change it to Ferrari...

Still have a few greys to fill in...the periscope has 1/5 red and the rest is grey, but I'm debating leaving the red as it is and not putting any camo down.

lol I bet I won't sneak up on a convoy during the day, but during the night it's a different story ;)

I'd put the coke logo on the conning tower if it weren't for copyrights...but it ain't like I'm making any money off of it :hmm:

[linerkiller]

Cool:|\\
Just try to invert the color scheme....black above and red under the waterline....same colors but better results:|\\ :know:

[papa_smurf]

I say keep it, as it's about time us U-boat captians had an equivalent to the WW1 Red Baron.

Should the red be a bit darker or should I leave it alone?
I got almost all of the grey out of the skin except for the binoculars - haven't found that texture yet but I will eventually.

That's the view from the bridge.

She's finished!
I put the iron cross on the bow cause I got tired of messing with the conning tower placement. Maybe in another sub I'll get it right.

She's up for download now, the link's gonna be in my sig in a minute - same location as Koon's sub shop just on a different board.

Koon told me he has to teach me how to paint conning towers but as soon as I figure it out I'll give you a shout man.

On that boat I would've loved having the Iron Cross on the conning tower but I just couldn't figure out how to place it. Kinda aggrevated me after a while :nope:
