In il2:1946 some ppl were willing to share there (their) panel lines, and take a look at the weathered one ppl use for the Cliffs Hurri its fantastic.

Is this even English? I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

A grammar attack, always a clear sign of someone admitting they were in correct... Dear oh dear quite pathetic.

No seriously, what were you trying to say? I cannot parse that sentence you posted above.

"In il2:1946 some ppl were willing to share there panel lines, and take a look at the weathered one ppl use for the Cliffs Hurri its fantastic."

- "Some people were willing to share their panel lines". . . ok, what does that have to do with CLOD? Panel lines are already another layer, so sharing them are unnecessary, but still possible.

- "There are nice weathered ones for CLOD". The weathering is done "in game" but there is still opportunity to add additional touches.

- "Hurricane is Fantastic". . . ok? And?

That's was not a sentence, and has nothing to do with why (according to you) only "enlightened artists" can make decent skins and the rest of the plebes on these forums shouldn't bother trying.

So you can't give a real reason why you're right and instead pout? "Dear oh dead! Quite Pathetic".

The point wasn't that people shouldn't try, but that you suggested that people's work was something that could be easily done in 15 minutes, therefore belittling their efforts. Have some respect for work that people have put time and effort into, if you think it is too simplistic, feel free to make your own instead of being negative.

I remember pulling my hairs trying to line up the teeth on the cowling of this bloody Noop for many many hours.

That's Rise of Flight, which doesn't have the same features for making skin weathering and panel lines that Clod does. Go back in this thread, all of the skins posted here are not difficult to make, not to take anything away from the artists, but the IL-2 ones that I posted above take much more work and time to get similar results. Weathering has to be applied by hand, and panel lines have to be maintained intentionally. For CLOD, all you have to do is drag the "weathering/wear" slider.

Look at the skins posted in this thread again. They look nice, but they are actually pretty simple to make. I've already described the steps earlier, but look at the individual sections of colour. There are no gradient fills, no real smudging or blurring, just straight colours overlaid over the skins. The only skin that I've seen that would require an real time invested is this one...

Its not that simple. I just downloaded the template for the spitfire and you are making it out to be a lot simpler than it is. It makes you come across as either trolling or jealousy if you are willing to attack other people's work but haven't made anything yourself.

No, actually it's easier to make great skins for rise of flight, since they release very good layered templates.
I'm no skinner. I played around with photoshop a few times and with my limited experience, I can tell you are either trolling, or not really know what you are talking about.
If you just draw random lines wherever it's convenient on a skin, it's easy. If you try to make the skin match a speciffic aircraft, things get a bit more labour intensive.
The skins posted here match certain historical aircraft, and even tanks. There's a quite a bit of work involved to get things right.
I'd like to see you do a skin for a historical aircraft in 15 minutes.

When you have access to photoshop and have time, we can try that. We'll post a profile here for a random aircraft and you provide even a half decent finished skin, to match the profiles, in 15 minutes.

Where did I say enlightened artist are the only ones that can make skins in fact I am saying the opposite, so don't try and turn this around to make me look like the twat.

I responded to your criticism of someone else's work, Christ another poster like AOA take a paragraph split it and turn it on its head, like I said pathetic.
