Psint scheme fans,

Earlier today I completed and uploaded a paint scheme (ignore the colors)
that may be of interest to some of you in the market for a scheme.

How it came about -- while driving back from GMCMI in Patterson I looked
more closely at all the motorhomes that would pass one direction or the
other. I've seen folks attempt a more modern look on the GMC and ruin the
lines of the coach itself (in my opinion). There just isn't room on the side
of a GMC to put all the waves and curls that can go on a 35- or 40-foot
coach. In looking at the big boxes I seemed to favor those with a simpler
approach for the "full body paint" styles. After giving it more thought, I
sat down and come up with this design. It has some waves. It even has a curl
that's a throwback to the late 30's or early 40's.

It also gets away from the "raccoon" look that's beginning to be unoriginal
as well as from the all horizontal scheme that has worked for a long, long
time (and still works if done well).

This one gives a bit more modern look (as far as contemporary paint schemes
are concerned) without violating the design line of the GMC. It's also not
too radical.

It's another example of the type of paint schemes I can create (though I
didn't spend much time with color rendering and shading).
