New Paintkit Tips.. Anyone.

[seanpintara]

Hi all.. I've just finished my PC-6 Turbo Porter, and i've started a paintkit but i've never done one before. I've got a pretty good understanding of Paintshop pro but if anyone has any handy tips for me that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks:)

You must under Paintshop Pro work with Layers.
And save the finished Paintkit, for anotherone to use, not as bmp. Because if I download your Paintkit and when I open the bmp in PSP, it will me not show the Layers.
You have to save it as .psp File than i can use the Layer in PSP.

Hope this help a little bit.:)

Hi seanpintara,

Something I appreciate with a paint kit is to have the details contrasting for both light and dark paint. i.e. a layer of dark rivets and a layer of light rivets. That way they show up no matter what the colors used. If you offset the layers slightly you can also achieve a 3d look to them as well.

Ah right... I did'nt know that... that could certainly help, Thanx Lupo. What i wonder is .. how do i make a good windscreen texture like ai-aardvark planes or even some HTAI stuff have got.. I've just figured out (kinf of) how to do shadows.
