Stearman Cloudboy, 12x18 digital painting

[Ol' Scrapiron]

Here's a digital project I created based on some reference photos I shot of the 1930 Stearman YPT-9 / Cloudboy displayed at the Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum in Hood River, Ore. 

 

 

 

Just a few of the special points of interest include the subtle leather coaming around the twin cockpits, intricate rigging for the wings and tail surfaces, the detailed radial engine and the wheels and exposed suspension.

I love all the detail, which I'm sure was a lot of work.  It's a wonderful piece!
