Aviation Profile Art

[Matt Wynn]

hope i put this in the right place, now i know a lot of us build Plasti-kits (airfix, revell etc...) now a while back i wanted to experiment with schemes before applying them, so i took side photos of my aircraft and started re-drawing them, suffice to say my addiction (is an accurate description of my hobby) became Profile art, i'll show you a key example i did for my uncle... not finished yet but shows shape and form, and shows with camo on on a close up...

now i'm heading a bit further back in time (not much further back) and working on this... no prizes for guessing what it is currently on the lineart stage, getting the basics down before i even put virtual pen onto Virtual paper

But why, why, does have to be a B-17G.
Enough already!

 

[Matt Wynn]

Helldiver, a Helldiver is on my list, this B-17 is all that stands between me and it

 

[Matt Wynn]

ok i decided....

B-17 is on hold as are all other projects, what would you all most like to see (If you have side views.. fantastic, as are 3 views, even scans from Plastikits)? most common one i'll Profile AND you can all Have (High Quality JPEG)... get your ideas in deadline is Friday 2300GMT for ideas

Don't let the old crank get to ya smoothie ... go on ahead with what you was planning ... Course a good B-17F wouldn't have hurt.

 

[Matt Wynn]

nah it's still on the boards Snuffy, just that i'm collecting more images on it at the moment, in the mean time i wanted to start something with a fresh mind

 

[Matt Wynn]
