mCPx Paper Canopy -- First Aftermarket mCPx Hop-Up?

[Mounds]

mfedasiuk,
Are you taping on the inside of these? If so how are you getting the nose so nice? You canopies look exceptional. I'd love to here some more of your secrets to success.

[mfedasiuk]

Yes...taping ONLY on the inside!!! I will try and post a more detailed writeup maybe tonight Been busy working my day job!

It does take a bit of practice but I'm getting much better/faster at it now....

I can't get your sample in the thumbnail on the previous page to size properly. Come up too small when I print it and I've even tried to blow it up to 125% but still seems a little small. What's the best way to go about printing the size properly?

Hey folks. Thank you for paper canopies. I finally got a mini TDR canopy without the hassle of waiting two weeks and paying fifty bucks thank you. Its called The Green Hornet I just need Kato lol.

Can you save this one to a pdf also?

I can't for some reason

Here is the latest mTDR. Thanks mfedasiuk for posting these! Any chance you can post other designs? Or am I being too greedy...

Now I just have to figure out how to get the TDR style skids! Any ideas? Can we make them out of paper! Haha!

[mfedasiuk]

Wow...excellent work ccnada!!! I'm glad I could help....Cyliika too! I will try and post more designs for you guys....just been really busy lately!

[CyLLlKA]

I do not Cyliika That's right CyLLlKA (Сушка) - SUSHKA so affectionately called Su-27 aircraft

[mfedasiuk]

Sorry for the misspelling CyLLIKA! Hey...at least I know what it stands for now!
But really...you deserve so much credit here for your initial work....

Is there any way you can create a texture map of the mTDR-cpx design that has BOTH sides of the canopy so I can add 'letter' graphics on the template?

Make it so that each party would be unique? The left and right. What you could do a label and it has not been mirrored on the other side?
Do I understand correctly?
Sorry for my English.

[mfedasiuk]

Yes...that is exactly what I want but I do not yet know 3dsmax....or how to create the original texturemap that you are using....all the other canopy designs had a unique left and right side....but you do unserstand what I'm looking for....this would allow me to have text on the left and right side of the canopy....maybe there is a mirrorfunction thatcoulddo that in papakura? I'm just learning the tools now....all I know so far is photoshop.

Thanks for all the help and your great work!
