And for those who are waiting for this... It will be done when its done!(Thanx to the GW dev's for that line....:rotfl I want this to be as perfect as possible, and it could take some time.

Absolutely awesome looking skin. I can't wait.

It looks great. I especially like how the areas near the holes (drainage holes?) are more heavily rusted since water would have been seeping out all the time - great attention to detail.

Seth,

I reckon you've got a an excellent grip on that splinter camouflage scheme, I haven't been able to create that effect yet, all I can do is the chip paint and full colour effect at this stage

I'm using Paint Pro 7, what about you :hmm:

[Tuddley3]

Hmm, someone has done their homework. Nice work

[Dallass_Drake]

Looks fantastic

[stabiz]

You are getting better FAST! This ones a keeper!

Very nice, I like it!

Oh and Seth. Out mighty GWX Lawyer-Team will contact you because of the use of our(!) "It´s done when it´s done!" :p

I dunno, "It's done when it's done!" sounds suspciously like, "When it's done" which I beleive is a trademark Logo of 3DRealms. :rotfl:

Photoshop 7 here! This is how i do it:
Just find a nice color on google pictures (search for "grey" or any other color), and open the pic. Then right click and "copy picture". Then in PS: mark an area, no matter where, and "paste" the pic into it. The pic of the color will be on top of everything, but dont worry! Use the polygonal lasso tool to draw a triangle or a quadrat in the colored area, anything you like. Press Ctrl+C to copy the selection. Mark another area outside the colored one, and paste the selection into that. Place it over the uboat texture where you want it to be, then double click on the layer in the layer window to select blend modes etc. I used the "overlay" blend mode on the camo scheme for this paint. Hope this was helpful, im not good in explaning in such technical terms... If Anvart, fubar, danlisa or some other excellent skinner can explain this in an easier way, please do so..!

There's no need to search Google for colours, PS & PSP have all the colours under the sun. However if your happy with this way then continue but this is what I do.

Just like _Seth_ said, Use a selection tool to mark out an area on your U-Boat texture, then goto Edit > Fill > Fill with Colour. A popup box with all the possible colours will appear, just drag the selector around until you have the colour you want and click OK.

Now every time you choose fill the same colour will be applied to your selection.

If you want to change the colour then go through the same proceedure and choose another colour.

Then just continue with the blend options.

The colours isen't the drama for me, its the angles of the splinter camouflage
