don't worry, ernie...
I think I'm a little cahotic, with my ideas!
here we are:
wing satin, ailerons matt finish.
then oil dots on the upper wing and ailerons.
5642
but just to "move" the surface, actually I wipe away the most (except on ailerons)
5654
trying to exasperating the difference between old and new parts, I weathered heavily the undersurface.
5659
letting the mud "climb" on lower fuselage sides.
5660
and on the tail, sure. I tried to reproduce the heavy stains from engine exaust on the tail's right side.
5665
I don't know... it is easy to go along and exaggerate, I'll wait to have fresh eyes before add anything.
5666
5668
the goal is to guess the right balance considering the aircraft as a whole, and, er, ehm... I'm not able to say if it's ok, now!
my idea is to have an old, operative machine with a brand new wing on.
and of course, I'll put her on a grass field, so also that is to be considered, in terms of contrast and visual impact.
5669
better you check your six, dear...
this point of view is inspiring me: one of the next crafts will have someone at controls, and will be taking off!!
5675
to not leave you without the poll of the day, ladies and gentleman,
the gaspatch air speed indicator (under painting and construction). a gem!
5653
but, where I'll put it? no signs of it in the pictures of the voss's machine!
bye, p.
