Dear Pete !
I think this project is real fun, gives a lot of freedom, stirrs ones imagination and has certain demands on one's skills.
It will be very interesting to compare the effect of model and painting !
In modeling there is a certain shortcoming of an individual style; partly it is due to the fact, that military is not about individuality,
and that Spam Cans look all the same everywhere.
A Tiger Tank never came in dark brown camouflage; PC 10 was a mainstay on thousands of aeroplanes.
At the Bavarian Army Museum there is a figure show called Duke of Bavaria with some excellent examples in the quality of
Sheperd Paine.
But many, although high quality work, do use completely the same style of painting. You can't teel who is who.
Furthermore one has not to be a builder of only one sort of theme, of course.
Personally I do like a lot of themes, my last built was the X-15 because I love space science, too .
For one's own imagination it is better to draw from different sources of life and from different modlelling themes.
I'm courious, how it will look like, when finished. Depends on the gauge, too, since gauge influences impact.
viele Grüße, Gunther
