Incredible job, I love the subtle distressed skin on the aft fuselage.

Are you completely done with the interior? I'd be a nice touch to see an ammo belt for the M-60.

Gray,

Your stuff is so Lavish! Apologies for loosing touch,

business is down. I'm adapting to neighbors that are trying

to help me "come out of my shell" (having absolutely no clue

how essential solitude is to an Artist/Modeler?!) :o/>

Bless 'em, for tryin'. The food is good, though ;)/>

I Mask & Airbrush, as well as utilize the various 'pixel herding' tools

found in Adobe Photoshop.

As I said above, the pilot's head is a colorized, reduced and flipped B/W photo composited to a painted body. I only do Aircrew on Helos, due to the need to animate the blades for optimum placement of the Fuselage on a printed sheet. The Stencils (which are accurate

and legible, I might add) are fonts I utillize as well.

Note the difference between the pilot's face and the painted face of the door gunner.

I paint conventionally, with digital brushes,tools and masks. Look back (way back)and see previous profils posted here.

Regards,

Stephen
