Westland Lysander

[JMSmith]

this is for Rat's new project,

do not use the drawing you posted rat, it is a very bad scan and the front end is all squashed up,
here is a better one for now, will try to find a very good one for you.

Hey, that's a terrfic drawing. The meat is all there. Now I have no excuses. I did a lapover for the first drawings and they are identical, oddly enough. However, the biggie will do fine. This time I will probably do it in bits and make a final assembly. I foresee hundreds of layers and groups looming up! I am just about getting over the shock of seeing UGO's latest. Nearly packed in for good! That guy is from outer space. However, since I have no interest in copying other people's techniques it will be interesting to see what I make of the old Lizzie. Can't be that many knocking about any more.

Re the lapover, I've shuffled it a bit so that you can see them both.

Thanks a lot.

rat.

hey rat,

you just made my day, your drawing is from the Mushroom book, and they are the best out there, when i looked at mine i noticed the page curved in towards the spine of the book, this gave me the impression the front of the plane was squashed, i am really glad it ain't, must remember to crop my drawings in future.

for anyone else that is interested, the Mushroom book on the lysander is excellent and well worth the money, the fact that James is a friend of mine (did the hudson profile for him) and AWF had a hand in supplying info for this book so i am a little biased

AWF and myself help lots of authors and artist, without wanting any cash or praise, cos thats just how i am
