want to make skins, repaints, or textures for simulators, games, and
mods. Our staff and members include a variety of experience in several
simulators and graphics programs.
At the upper left hand side of
pages is our main menu. From here you can find our forums, downloads
section, and other resources. A very useful is our articles library,
which features a variety of tutorials and articles written by both the
Simmers Paint Shop staff, as well as our members. These articles cover
a topics such as simulator specific tips, including such popular titles
as Forgotten Battles, Aces High, Battle of Britain 2, Warbirds, and
Targetware. Others are devoted to more general information on graphics

Also from the menu you'll find
the color swatch lists, with paint samples of various air forces
represented from standard color lists like FS-595b and RAL, each with
RGB color values for use in you graphics software.
