It look really great One point- it is true that engine cowling's look realistic but you need no dirt over it in this stage of work. You add this when illustrate specific machine, in regard to the details visible on images. But definitely this look great

Thanks No.1, that is something I was wondering about. So you weather each individual machine differently then? This is important because there were over 6100 halifaxes built. I am also finding it difficult working with a plane that is mostly black.

More progress, fortunately I have lots of good photos, panels and rivet patterns are inconsistent on the halifax. Here is the forward fuselage section, I hate the carburetor ducts on the engines (the vents on top) and i will be re-doing them.

Machine guns = much fun!

Let me know what you think guys.

Wow! Fantastic work!

Work continues. Fortunately I have lots of photos that I have taken of the restored Halifax in Trenton to reference.

Here are the engines (90% finished) and tail fin. I try to do the most difficult and least interesting areas first in
order to keep from getting bored, its seems to be working so far.

Hi Everyone,

I'm a new guy here with a very rough draft of a L-1049.

I use Illustrator, but have no clue on how to use photoshop.

All the best.

Yeah a good start. Work done in illustrator has a different look to it than work done in photoshop, it all depends on what you are trying to achieve with the profile. Your image reminds me of what you would see on the instructions of a model kit explaining the paint scheme, decals etc.

Show is going on... developed D model

Cool. No.1, did you put rivets on this profile? I am discovering that when you work with a large aircraft such as this one that the rivets become invisible unless you view it at 1:1.
