Need a point in the right direction........

Hi folks...i been trolling the forum now for a good couple of weeks and i have a problem.... I was doing a repaint of the bucc in very garish colours and i got to thinking ?
Its such an obscure paint scheme that nobody would really like it in their collection so............I need one of you "old salts" to help me by giving me a project that i can really get my teeth into but the problem is that all the lovely old A/C here have been repainted by you professionals.
Can anyone give me a project to do as i think i really have the hang of PSP9 now and would like to release something to the community that would be appreciated.
Anticipatingly yours...... :partyman:

Hi Techy

I'll go with Andy.....the Bucc you are doing is a fine project.

BTW we're not professionals......we don't get paid ;-)

HI Techy

The most important thing is to do what you feel comfortable with.

You need to enjoy it or you will lose track and don't make the mistake of thinking you can handle anything just yet.

Build on your experience...that's what all of us here did, if you try and start at
the top the only way is down..... :-(

If you really have the hang of PSP9 :o then you must be unique.. people use that for years and still find they are only using a small part of it with so much more to learn

You receive all the encouragement you want but it is a mistake to ask for suggestions for any job before you have a few under your belt. :dance:

Sorry if I sound a little hard but I mean it in the best possible way.

We can't suggest anything because we don't know what you can do

Garry that is an excellent reply and i thank you.....OK on with the Bucc repaint and see how it comes out and i will try and build some "street cred"....when i say i am comfortable with PSP9 i mean i can attempt the basics

Thanks mate (i mean that.....)

Very good point to start low.....

A few gentle ones and you gain more confidence move and always ask if any doubt....no question is too trivial...we've all been there.


It's pointless spending hours stuck on something when a quick question will get you going.

I'm glad you see my answer in the vein intended.

I don't use PSP myself but many here do so anything general or specific will be answered quite quickly. ;-)

But now you are getting a grounding you will find that any problem you will at least get an idea as to where to look for the solution.

Don't worry what anyone else thinks.

Most of my repaints were done for ME. That way I could keep the enthusiasm. If anyone else wanted them then that was a bonus.

Hi Techy

A while ago now I painted the Guernsey Airlines Herald

A hideous version of the awful BAF hoops livery in an overall yellow

I did it for completeness and put it out thinking no one would want it.........it quickly became at the time the most downloaded of my Herald paints. Sometimes a paint is popular because it is a minority subject....off the beaten track and is popular simply because it's different.

As I said above it is very important to enjoy is so as Ian quite rightly says do it for yourself
