I finished building my Vickers F.B.5, textured it, Posed a crew, made them some leather helmets and goggles in Wings and got a decent render...and then I started messing around in Photoshop and made a grainy sepia version. Now I'm torn between them, but I'm leaning toward the sepia; it is supposed to be a 1914 plane, after all. What do you think? The color version.

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.

The sepia version. Thanks, John

I like the sepia as well but don't stop there. Now you need a setting like the cliffs of dover or something.

She's really a beauty tjohn! I like both versions, but I tend to lean toward the color version as I think it shows all the cool details better.

Do as any southern californian would do: flip a coin. Anyway, the modelling is simply amazing on this plane. At least the pilots appear happy.

i think it's because they're on the ground :D drac (awesome modelling)

i would do a mix of them ,just try it desaturated colors give that old feeling too.

for some free stuff i made
and for almost daily fotos

Great modeling! I love your plane. I hope you do some aerial combat renders and not discard this model when the challenge is over.

with groin on this one, i fall for the sepia, and feel it should be airborne.

Experience is no substitute for blind faith.

Excellent stuff! But how about a couple of things in the b/ground????

The sepia tone looks really authentic. Great modeling work!

There's a lot of stuff in the background, it's just all that bloody English fog in the way. :^) Thanks for the comments. I've decided to use the sepia for the Challenge entry and will probably post the 1024 versions of both to my gallery. I'll probably make a dogfight pic someday. I'll need to model an appropriate enemy plane, though. Any suggestions as to what planes these would shoot down?

I like the sepia, too. Maybe they'd shoot down geese! A whole flock, the canadian ones!
