[Skin] Mike Hailwood Lookwell Leathers & helmet Circa '78-'79

[DaringD]

After a whole bunch of work I finally got the Mike Hailwood Lookwells where I want them to be, it was a bitch trying to get some of the seaming to line up and to actually look decent, but I think I got there in the end.

I hope fans will get a kick out of this, I will follow up with a modern version with a few changes soon, but next on the list are the Martini Leathers!

Superb paint job there DaringD! Thank you mate! 

By the description you mentioned about problems lining up the seams, it sounds like the UV's haven't quite been unwrapped properly and your having to deal with some distortion of the UV's at the seams?

Not quite, the UVs are fine, it's just that the patches and various parts of the pattern run across splits in the UV, it's not a unwrapping issue, it's just me getting used to the UV layout and that fact that when Lookwell designed the leathers they didn't make it easy for me! 

Anyway, the Martini ones are proving to be even more of a challenge, they have a lovely complex striped pattern that is really something to get right, but, the thing is, it's a great feeling when it all lines up nicely, so I'm not too fussed, there isn't anything anyone could do to make it easier really, but thanks for asking.
