Messerschmitt Me 410 WIP

[Baron]

Hi folks!

Here my newest WIP! Otterkins2 was so kind to provide me with his great base drawing! Thank you!







Cheers, Simon

[gamary]

Very promising!

Will you be working with Peter?

Otters, your contribution to better and more accurate Luftwaffe profile art is getting more important every day!

[JMSmith]

this ain't fair,

how can i pull you up on inacurate drawings when otters doing them

i'm going to get him, if ever he mends his puter

just one little point simon, i my opinion you should tone down your top shadow, just seem a little to dark

[Otterkins2]

This looks very awesome! I am very pleased (indeed honoured) that Simon chose to use my linework for this profile. It tells me that I'm on the right path. Better yet, John can't find errors, though he probably hasn't added a microscope to his arsenal of protactors and calipers yet. Good show Simon! Can't wait to see it finished!!!!

[JMSmith]

hum!

microscope, wonder if iconico do one of those by the way, be warned, i now know that 2 of us use protractors and calipers, the disease is spreading

[JMSmith]

just for anyone interested,

Iconico.com Software

the tools are very cheap to buy $29.50 each, and you can try the trial version first.

Otter, you're safe for now, no microscope but a might get the compass

HO, very promising start
fingers crossed.

...and to explain Gammarys question about Peter = me I am working on a ZG 76 history book, and will need in the future some profiles for it. No deadline, no plans yet, very much WIP, but 90% of unpublished Me 410 photos at my archive interested?

[JMSmith]

sod doing the drawing and profiles,

but i will take the photos off your hands

looking forward to seeing the book when it's finished, and if a certain gentleman on here ends up doing the profiles, i will be very happy, most books are let down by the profiles, either incorrect shape or pure guesswork on the colour schemes

Hi folks!

Thank you for the nice words. It's a great pleasure to work with Otter's base drawing!

More WIP shots maybe tomorrow!
