Nice work (as usual) Tim. Whenever I get around to working in Ldraw, I’m
coming to you for settings, for they are KILLER:-)
One question on livery colors. It appears to me that regular LEGO green
and dark blue are closer to the proto colors. Anyone else think this?

Yes, I think so. But I stopped suggesting regular green to Tim, instead of
sand green, long ago. He just loves sand green to much..:-)
Cheers,

It’s true... I do love sand green ;) If I thought I could get away with it
I’d do the blue in sand blue too. But... you are probably right. Depending
on plate and tile availability in dark blue I’ll do up a version with green
and dark blue and add it to the BS gallery.

I’ve just looked at the pic again in more detail, and decided that sand green
is a more suitable choice, regular green would be too bright (maybe a plus
for some people since it will be more legoish).
I also remembered something. One of my friends, who builts aircraft models,
told me once that you cannot use exact same colors when painting a scaled
down model, since scaling down in dimensions creates an optical effect in
which the same colors percepted as darker than original. So it is a common
practice to lighten up the tones in general for the scale models.
I also agree that dark blue will be a better fit with sand green..In short:
sand green+dark blue : more realistic, green+blue : more legoish
At the end whichever you want, of course..:-)
Cheers,
Selçuk
PS: staging area is down, or you ppl just staged something hindering my
access to it?..:-)

Well...
That’s Dark blue and green. Will add a dark blue and sand green later so have a
look in the gallery for it.
