Combat Warplanes / Avia B.534
« on: May 10, 2007, 01:36:07 PM »
Yesterday I have get brand new kit of this famous pre war CSSR fighter. With the Fokker D.XVII and Hawker Fury this is maybe one of the most beautiful biplane in the inter war period. Images are from museum in Czech Republic and credited to Marcel Kares.

Second method is with airbrush. Take some medium grey color and set brush regime as Dissolve and Opacity not over the 30%. Spray over the selected area.
Then go to the layer panel and set Layer Style as Beveal & Emboss, Layer Behavior as Multiply and opacity low, I set it on 11%. You can use Blur as in the previous method.
Last image is the final result of the previous technique... but in a reason of compression this fabric is not notable as on my screen. But for sure it look nice in publication print- I have do that.

Fabric covering is typical for the early stage in aviation construction. There is few methods how to make this on the color profile and I will describe her two of them.
In first method use the Paint Bucket tool and choose regime of pattern. I hope that you have enough of pattern in your library and some good pattern are stone, fabric, noise, sand, textile... So take any of them and pour over the selected area. Selected are is complete new layer just for the fabric covering and this have to be under the layer with shadows.
Image two present the result of what we have get and this is more blurred with Gaussian Blur, set on one or two pixels. Now set the Behavior of layer on Multiply and opacity not over the 30%.
