Skinning the Marauder!

This tail has a nose art of a black panther and name below that say "MARAUDER". Made a few adjustments on that tail numbers. Ok, that's enough of that diversion, on to the wings.

Ted, thank you for posting these WIP shots. I don't post or comment all that much but I really appreciate artist/ modelers such as yourself who do this. It's informative, even educational, and it's good to see how others approach a subject. So, thanks to you and all the others who not only share their final product with us, but also share their modes, methods and madness.

Now, I'll go kick back and watch the rest of the show! :encouragement: :encouragement:
 
Thanks Duckie! This model doesn't have bumps, so it's done the usual way, balancing between black and white panels and rivets. It's the only FSX Marauder so thought I would take a stab at it.

It's like painting a plastic model! Had plenty of those back in the day.
 
Like seeing the development, specific showing the pattern in the with the structure, that is so well done. :encouragement::encouragement:
 
Here's some work on the nacelles. It's frustrating at times with the brain flip visuals. One minute the panels are in then flip out. Sometimes I blink my eyes and back to inners.

I'm doing a painting off the B-26 , one asked me what were those lumps on the side , when I told him there were four cheek gun's, two each side for ground strafing, he got really interested. .... its looking great, just keep blinking your eyes :adoration:
 
Peeked at your Art Gallery... beautiful work Ian! :encouragement:

I thought I would do something about those tire graphics. Scratching my head as to why it was left that way in the final release.

Thanks Matey :untroubled: , The Marauder paint is sitting background close to being finished, at a request I returned back to NZ waters , a mixture off Frigate and Helicopter , the B-26 won't be far behind.
 
This has been a fun thread to follow as Duckie said. I do wonder though about that tail cone on the model. Does not look to be the right shape. Perhaps it needs to be refined just a bit more. Guess it depends on what version of the B-26 you are doing as there were several different treatments of that tail area.
 
It's an interesting model. Reminds me of MAAM's B-25 with lumpy wheels! :biggrin-new: Low poly for an FSX model, but it's the only FSX Marauder. There are several different tail cones on the Marauder over the years.
