Airwolf Computer Fascia Frame

Airwolf Computer Fascia Frame

"Please Be Aware"  this blog POST is a work in progress, the frames here are subject to change and Updates as the creator plays about with aspect ratios and details. Be sure to save as PNG to maintain transparency.

EXAMPLE 1:
PNG, screen centre is transparent, top and bottom buttons row Have Inner Shadow, also the buttons along the top and bottom row are Square.

Screen Surround Width 1920 by Height 1080 SHADOW
EXAMPLE 2:
PNG, screen centre is transparent, the buttons along the top and bottom row are Square. Buttons have No Inner Shadow

Screen Surround Width 1920 by Height 1080 NO SHADOW
EXAMPLE 3:
PNG, this has NO Buttons set, the frame is black, the Button place holders are cut out and already Transparent to throw buttons on or behind
the Top and Bottom Row are Rounded Holes

Screen Surround Width 1920 by Height 1080 NO BUTTONS ROUNDED ROWS
EXAMPLE 4:
PNG, this has NO Buttons set, the frame is black, the Button place holders are cut out and already Transparent t throw buttons on or behind
the Top and Bottom Row are Square Holes

Screen Surround Width 1920 by Height 1080 NO BUTTONS SQUARE ROWS
EXAMPLE 5:
PNG, this has the centre transparent and the buttons in place (but no text or markings)
and the top and bottom row on this one are square.

Screen Surround Width 1920 by Height 1080 HAS BUTTON BACKING
EXAMPLE 6:
PNG, this has the centre transparent and the buttons with text and the Top and Bottom Row are both Rounded

Screen Surround Width 1920 by Height 1080 ROUNDED Top and Bottom Row
EXAMPLE 7:
Season 4 style frame, also PNG so the centre is transparent.

Screen Surround Width 1920 by Height 1080 SEASON 4


To be UPDATED at some stage with more variants and maybe more of a 3D aspect.

Note that in some later episodes (season 3) you can see the top and bottom row are actually Square buttons  with an Overlay covering their edges.On this shot the corner is Broken and also note it says SEL DIOG

3x03 And a Child Shall Lead
Yet in older episodes the buttons (along the Top and Bottom) appear to be Rounded & Countersunk within the frame Flush with the buttons so they couldne't be square could they? . You can also see the buttons down the sides have curved edges leaning towards the screen.

2x14 In At The End of The Road

Both frames & buttons contradict them selves and i firmly believe their was two Fascias created, one of which was probably / possibly used Outside the moch up.

In this shot (also from season 2) you can clearly see just how Flush them rounded buttons are, you can see broken parts too. God knows what happened to the corner ?.

2x12 Condemned
They must have had at least 2 Fascias though right ?
I wonder if a camera fell forward and smashed the original lol

special thanks to Adam Lettow and Mark J Cairns for providing me with random Bluray screen grabs to work with and inspect for detail changes.

Santini Air Jeep License Plate

These are NOT 100% screen accurate.

Front Plate No Tags (close to screen used season 1-3)

NOT TO BE SOLD ON eBay or ANY OTHER FORM OF SALES
Back Plate With Tags (close to screen used season 2) thanks to retro rocketship for sharing images of the real rear plate which helped me correct the tag info and colouring.

NOT TO BE SOLD ON eBay or ANY OTHER FORM OF SALES

A4 Size Image, Santini Air Jeep License Plate On Velvet Type Backing.

I noticed while working on recreating the front plate (referencing the jeeps front in Firestorm)  that doms plate had no TAGS, special thanks to Thomas Higginson for the info that some states they just TAG the back plate and with that in mind thanks to tom i fabricated a back plate (again however) not screen accurate, but fun none the less.

SOME REFERENCE IMAGES:

2x02 - Firestorm
You can also see the plate in 2x17 - Natural Born
Note that Dom only had one jeep (the hard top and the roll bar are both the same vehicle)
You can see the roll bar support through the side window in this shot  :)

2x02 - Firestorm
Aso don't be fooled with people saying the 87 TAG plates are from season 4..
Doms jeep was NEVER in season 4!

Jeep Keys and Licenses Frame


When i make something airwolf related its often pretty unusual, and never seen before. Its also most often a really simple concept that can be used as is OR expanded upon by the fans.

So here we have another classic bit of fan made fun anyone can get printed off and put it in a frame.

I don't have a printer up and running so i haven't done any testing at all

Jeep Keys, Key Ring and Licenses on a custom velvet looking backing texture designed in  A4 size and would be best suited to A4 Glossy Photo Paper to give the keys and the licenses that glossy silver and laminated effect.

That glossy paper effect should look even better behind the glass or perspex in the frame.

NOTE: these keys are sadly 1985 to 1996 OEM Branded keys. Unfortunately the 1975 to 1984 Jeep keys are OEM Branded with AMOS rather than JEEP.

The keys used here where a photo (from eBay) of Blank Uncut jeep keys for sale, they were given an outer bevel to give them depth and were cut in photoshop. The keyring was also a photo, given a bevel and a shadow to emphasise it being thicker than what it looked. None of what you see is a Hard Copy, even the licenses are made in photoshop, what your looking at is all digital creation.

That Said.......


You can buy JEEP and the AMOS branded OEM Keys off ebay, you can design a backing texture OR use real cloth. You can Print and Laminate the licenses i made for String and for Dominic, buy a key ring. You could actually create all this physically in a frame for a few pound so it visually looks more realistic up close (though clearly heavier to hang)

The perfect Christmas or Birthday gift printed and framed or created with real peices and framed.

You'd pay $45 for this on eBay if the image here had a WATERMARK.. So leave a comment or some sh*t in appreciation for the artists time or like it on facebook and SHARE IT...

BE WARNED..... LURKING & LEECHING KILLS CREATIVITY..
i don't use price tags, i never have.. consider that..... log into google.. leave a comment below

Dominic Santini California Driving License

FAN MADE
I couldn't find a 1980's license or any other California design older than this style to copy

NOT TO BE SOLD ON eBay UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES

Just for those outside the USA or even In the USA pondering on a few things...

Class = A, B, C (C = he can drive trucks, PSV and stuff)

End = license addons, M being for motorcycles, ive set dom's to NONE
Oddly in the UK an Endorsement is a penalty that affects/increases your insurance and not an addition that shows more road competence.

Rstr = restrictions were like Provisional or maybe Automatic and other things would be noted

2570 has nothing Specific to do with the address and can be seen on many California licenses, its related to a penal code for that state the license is issued under (for uk that is a law or by-law kinda thing for the county council issuing it)

In the USA they have the MM//DD//YY  unlike the uk who use the DD/MM/YY

Airwolf never mentioned his birth DAY at all but made reference to flying with strings old man and ferrying planes during pearl harbour so he was defiantly enlisted during WWII so he had to be atleast 18 in 1941/42, so ive used 1922 as his fictional birthday (though ernest was born in 1917 making him 66 years and 9 months old when filming airwolf) and Dominic was probably supposed to be around aged 62 in the show. Thanks to adam lettow for piecing that theory together.

HGT source comes from a good source tied to the airwolf community
WGT is estimated from that height from a couple of good sources in the airwolf community

I don't have any idea of an address at all so i went with the business address & if you've seen the side of the hanger in "truth about holly" its plausible he could have spent time living their

California licenses expire every 5 years on the persons birthday, doms one for details, so if you have 10 days to renew it then he did it on the first day he could.

Dom wore black leather cowboy boots with heals, would have made him look taller than what he was


Last but not least the  CA Code of 92561 is for the Santini Air Hanger (formerly Jet Copters Inc) and now used by Helinet Aviation which kinda does what dominics company did and jet copters too.

Stringfellow Hawke California Driving License

FAN MADE
I couldn't find a 1984 license or any other California design older than this style to copy

NOT TO BE SOLD ON eBay UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES

Airwolf never mentioned his birth DAY  (only the year is ever hinted at) so i have gone with JMV's actual day and month and used strings Year which i think is acceptable, and i assume 1950 is right ?
JMV was born in 1944, string was born in 1950 correct ?

HGT source comes from a good source tied to the airwolf community
WGT is estimated from that height from a couple of good sources in the airwolf community

R.R.1, on the address is a Rural Route identifier, should use the two-letter symbol (RR, SS, MR) followed by the route number one space to the right.. ide of never known that, hats of to mr MJC

California licenses expire every 5 years on the persons birthday

Last but not least the  CA Code of 92561 is for Lake Hemet which is where fans believe the cabins "lake scenes" and the "helicopter landing stage"  where shot, along with that smoking chimney on the back of a flat bed truck. The location was reported to be Lake Hemet back in (2006) by an airwolf fan.

please be fully aware that it is a Federal Offence to word it correctly without permission from the FBI.  This is FAKE and Fan Made.
This is as wrong as a good 80% of the FBI props in hollywood & it is wrong for a reason

I started with this, i have no idea what it was from

Bogie ID for Firefox

Photo Shopped Concept Image

On the 25th of December 2005 The Wraith released one of the most iconic Airwolf fan edits of all time on the ORG. It later hit Youtube in 2006.

Airwolf Versus Firefox (the original) It's audio needed more work and due to the fans playback limitations with codecs & many on Windows 98SE and Millennium it was only ever rendered as a Windows Media WMV file.

Youtube also had a limitation of 100MB per video and so did the likes of Yousendit when it shared to sharebee and similar file hosts. These limitations at the time left it with a pretty rough low resolution visual and low audio bit-rate.


The one thing it truly lacked was the legendary Airwolf Attack Computer Bogie ID Scan.

Video Still from the 1920x1080 PAL M2T Render with border
Today that animation becomes a reality. It's creator however understands it is not perfect, the plane images could do with an outer glow, or have the text glow removed and add a grainy mask of some kind to the screen and maybe giving the black backing a more grey/black contrast. It appears that different LCD colour profiles change how this looks.

It features full screen HD renders with and without the Airwolf Screen border and also features some clips with a hand held type camera to give it that feeling of being their.

Features Camera Movement To Put The Viewer Right In The Action
Alternate perspectives to change how its backlit.

Features Alternate Visual Light Perspectives
HD VIDEO STOCK  1280x720 25fps PAL 16:9



SPECS AND INFO :

The blue Search Enabled comes from "fallen angel"
The rotation of aircraft images comes from "proof through the night"
The screen border frame comes from "condemned"
The firefox comes from a "desktop wallpaper"
The floating camera effect was accomplished using an iPhone 5 to record an LCD computer screen that was playing back the animation. A mixture of Auto Focus and no Auto Focus was also used between clips just to add more variety for editing ideas.

The video does exist as an M2T file in 1920x1080 PAL (but the youtube limit is) 1280x720
We also retain the vegas video VEG file along with the text and aircraft PSD files.

These were also made (but not used within this video) figured we'd share them
