Definitely colored.. maybe with the option of of doing re-paints (in other words non-protected outer skins so that we could possibly do our own)

Ron

I think you hit the nail on the head. I'll provide a .png file with the skin.

Thanks

If the panel lines etc were laid down in Illustrator or Corel Draw by you , just leaving the main fuselage, wings and other visible surfaces open to modification would be nice. All of Marek's works and quite a few others leave their models open like that. I realize that some designers and distributors don't like to leave things open but imo that limits the potential of a given model for success. Anyways, I'm sure that whatever you provide us with will be as great as the work you're showing us now

I'll do something like this, with the background being an alpha channel.

Updates coming soon.

I have been in my shop for the last few days making punch/die sets and I think I have come up with a great tube rolling tool. I started at 3/64 and went up to 1/4. I tried to do 1/32 but the bits break about every 2-3 holes.

I have a wire drawing bar with super small holes. I'd love to know how they drill those holes.

Doing some tests on the tube roller.

I also designed a circle cutter that should be able to pick up where my punch set leaves off at which is 9/32.

I hope you post pictures, I'd like to see what you have come up with.

Will do, B. The circle cutter is too close to another product, but the tube roller is all mine.

the punch set works perfectly from 3/64 up to 1/4. I used it to make rivets for my kettenkrad model. 1/32 would have been better, but that is the way it goes. Damn bit breaks no matter how careful I am.

3/64 disks on a penny.
