Critique my weecade side art!

I think the red looks better. You might want to get a sample of the chrome to see if it looks as good as you think it does.

+1 to either of these options:

1.) Get samples of each kind (red, chrome, light gray, etc.)

2.) Order all three types and use the leftovers for another project.

Just keep one thing in mind if you go the chrome route is that it damages easier than the others.
Chrome t molding actually has a Mylar overlay where the others are solid through color

My grandfather flew Bombers so this project hits home with me. I created this as a memorial for my family:



I love your artwork so far but this thing is screaming for a pinup on it somewhere! Bombshell Betty!!

Amazing artwork!  Any advice/tutorials you could give me on how to make the riveted panels in PS/AI?

Here is an example that should look pretty good for a Cab:

If this is open for voting... I vote Red, or Chrome

Just as an aside, as I only saw this thread today; SAC also stands for the rank I was when I left the Air Force, and is also the reason that the RAF, RAAF and RNZAF airmen/women are referred to as "crabs"

Stands for Senior Aircraftsman or woman
& also; some clever fugger figured out that Crab is defined as Sideways Ambling Crustacean in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Still, can't complain... The other forces get it worse than I did... "fishhead" (seaman), The RN clearly don't even like other branches of their own force, since they also split into: "bubblehead" (submariner) & Carrier Queen (Usually AEM's (Air Engineer / Mechanics, who work exclusively on flat tops) and then there's the poor old army who get called: "pongo's" heh heh heh & RM's get called Bootnecks... Good grief, could go on all day here!

Anyway, the point being; I may well avoid acronyms as they can mean many many different things to different people... But looks like you aren't using that one anyway

I may well avoid acronyms as they can mean many many different things to different people.

You can work around that by using the artwork to provide the context.

If OP had used "SAC" the sideart would have provided the necessary context for anyone thinking Science Advisory Committee, Spectral Absorption Coefficient, System Auxiliary Computer, Self-Aligned Contact, etc.

I agree.  I have been getting alot of help from Le Chuck and dfmaverick designing my Spaceman Spiff cab and I was thinking about doing something along the lines of your side art for mine.  Any files or how to's would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Guys, I haven't had a lot of time to work on my weecade. So for the moment it is still stuck in the digital realm.  But for those of you that wanted a quick start I have made a template file to use in Photoshop.  I have setup two folders to place your art in with masks attached.  Sorta like I did in mine.  I have also included the lines for the cab.  I believe that I have made the template a little bigger than the side of the cab so it would wrap around.  YMMV.  Template Link

Hi Kyle W

Could you attach the stickers in high resolution?
