my lastest

ok,
a lot more rivets and screws, also used my dirt/deforming mark for rivet lines

[BLOWHARD]

its a very weird design.

It sure is! Is it still secret what it is?
It just has to be made by Percival!!! Is it a...oh, I know what it is, am I allowed to say or is it a surprise?

[JMSmith]

if ya know then say

[BLOWHARD]

Boulton Paul Balliol, right?

I was SO sure it was a Percival, something like a Provost; they look so similar except for the engine.

gorgeous in its uglyness

Well, that's a good way to prove all British aircraft are ugly. From my point of view, they made pretty aircraft until the late 40's / early 50's. After that, the beer must have been poisoned or something of the sort.

The Balliol looks weird but not completely graceless, though. Keep it up, John!

spot on BH,

your prize is to do the Ki84 like you did the zero

[BLOWHARD]

hehehehehehe, but I haven't finished all the Zeros yet
I will consider it though!

and now live in colour, (nicked from the Early Steppenwolf album)

[inkworm]

Fuselage doesn't look quite round enough compared to the photo, maybe bring the shadow up the fuselage a little but really soften the gradation. Try getting out the graphics tablet to help with the shading, or maybe chopping stuff for dinner?

That's looking real nice mate! Now to make that skin come alive, make a very subtle bump between each rectangle of rivets.
