Um, hate to say this, but what button do I hit to end the poll?  Poll lock, go into Modify, or Delete poll? Embarrassed
Sorry, I've never done a poll before to know and I don't want to risk messing with any results that may be there or hit the wrong thing. Embarrassed Tongue Embarrassed

Wow, good job Xpand!  We've never had a landslide win like this in all of our history of aircraft repaint contests!


As for Xpand, awesome paint!  The actual camo may have been a bit jagged, but you caught every rivet and bolt in full detail, and your blending in of that black lightning bolt was impeccably smooth.  A suggestion for next time would be to add a specular channel. Wink



As for c130lover, nice paint!  It was very smooth, even the attempted specular channel.  You might want to go for a less basic paint in the future, though on the cub it looks good, the main reason being it didn't look like much work was done on the craft.  Much was what was already there. Also, for next time, you might want to try adding alpha channels to the works, or if you did to save it as atleast a DXT3.  DXT1 (no alpha) is exactly as it says, no alpha, and DXT1 is just pure black and white alpha.  It was a shame to see that specular channel you fixed up a bit go to waste by having no alpha and not showing up. Undecided
All in all, a nice paint, though still needing a bit more work. Wink



Congratulations to all who entered!  You all did great paints!  Let's try to get a few more entrys next time folks!  I broadend the category to help. Wink

Eheh! Cool! Thanks!
The camo was supposed to be jagged, lol. I inspired myself in the Su-35BM camo scheme for that! Cheesy
 

Up is the way to go.
