Looks nice bastarge, I'm happy to see you starting to repaint.

btw, the DE3 repaint is still coming, but unfortunately I am super busy till Christmas so I won't finish it till then... Probably I will upload it in the beginning of January.

They look like toys, rather than models. Did you only use solid colors, or is there some irregular metal/dirt texture planned?

i use paint.net to repaint the original tga files
for the moment i did use solid colors only, i find it difficult to keep the original metal/dirt textures intact
when i try to keep them intact in my opinion the paint job doesnt look good, the way i do it now gives the models indeed more a toy look but i am happier with the repaint

Rather than simply 'repainting' the texture, you can play with the 'replace color' function for the base, which keeps the metal/dirt textures intact. Results vary, but since the original is white, it should not be very difficult. I don't have Paint.NET, so I don't know where the function is. In GIMP it's a bit cumbersome. I use Pixelmator for this function, wherein it is super easy to do.

I still prefer pixelmator though, although that also has its limitations.

pixelmator is only for mac right?
i have window 8.1

Yavianice · 14. Dezember 2014

Yes, it's Mac only. But maybe after some tinkering GIMP or Paint.NET might work just as well. If not I can give it a try for you on pixelmator... replacing colors doesn't take long. But you can also make a new layer with a metal/dirt texture yourself and customize it.

i tried the replace color tool of GIMP, i totally didn't like it and it didn't produce the results i expected
i tried the replace color tool of paint.net. it worked much better then the GIMP one but seeing the results compared with my original repainting, i did not see such a big difference.
