[REQ] Lothian & Borders Police Skin

[Lewis]

Hi guys,
I would like to ask if you could please make me a Lothian and Borders BMW skin for the FXO, if i like the skin i am willing to give you 15k for it. (If i like it)

Here are some photos of the one i would like with some extra blue lights on the grill, bumpers and possibly the boot.

Thank you very much,

Hi Lewis!

I gave your request a try. I attached an overview scene for you. If youre interested send me a pm, so we can discuss the details.

Btw, I'm not sure about the markings on the roof. Do both of them belong there? I'm no police car specialist

That's a lovely skin,

[MaxVelo]

Thank you

[ChrisM]

Gotta agree, its beautiful.

We got some more talent on this forum . Awesome skin. Only criticism would be the side where the batternburg abruptly ends. Realistically it would go all the way to the windows.

I wasn't sure if i wanted to give this a go, but now there is no need

[MaxVelo]

Thanks for the great feedback guys!

Pipa would you add another row of rectangles on top or would you just extend the existing ones toward the windows? Whats the correct way to do it? I have only seen pictures with 2 rows of alternating rectangles.

MaxVelo that looks fantastic! Thank you, could i ask for 2 more small things if its not to much fuss.
Could you add two more smaller blue lights into the grill and add another row of battenburg to the sides.

If you could do that then i will send you the money.

Thanks a lot,

[Pipa]

Afaik the correct way is 7 rectangles in 2 rows. And the top row(red) starts with yellow and ends with yellow, the bottom row(yellow) starts with blue and ends with blue.

Example:

Other side can be mirrored.

[MaxVelo]

Lewis, I will try the lights in the grill. Not sure how this is going to turn out. Ideally they should be placed behind the grill. I will see what I can do.
About the battenburg. I will do it like Pipa explained. I like the realistic way

Pipa, thx a lot 7x2 thats what I figured from pictures. No more guessing!

[Lewis]

Thank you again, i really cant explain in words how good that skin is. Im almost sure that is the first L&B police skin made!

Just send me a wee pm when you have finished and i will send you the money.

Easiest way i found would be to duplicate the grill and place the strobes between those two layers. Cut the bits from the top grille where the strobes would be visible ( it helps if you make the top grille temporarily transparent in order see where the strobes are).

Little work, but quite a cool effect imo.

See attachement for changes.

Pipa, thats pretty much exactly what I did I also added a tiny bit of glow to give the appearance of a strobing light.

Lewis, if you dont like the glow, its just one click to remove it. Otherwise send me the 15k ingame (my lfs-user is EveningStar) and your email via pm and as soon as I verified the receivement of your payment I'll send you a 4096 (for your lfs) version and 1024 version (for upload) per email.

I'm off to bed now... getting late here

Lovely skin but needs 'Police' on the sides if it's to be used in the servers.

Im actually not to sure about that McG. I know it states that in the skin regulations but there are alot of police skins without it but i think alot of poeople can see its a police skin by the blue and yellow battenburg.

[MaxVelo]

Couldn't resist and took her out for a spin

   

McGherkin, I think I read somewhere here on the forums that it's ok to have no police signs on the sides if you use a battenburg pattern.

Lewis, if you like you can just take one of the screenshots and get the skin approved beforehand in the skin approval thread

I know you need it because I had to modify the Devon and Cornwall one.
