Njaco, I'll post some WIP pics next time - I kinda blasted through these fairly rapidly and didnt save as I was going along.. which is a very bad habit of mine.
Thanks lads!
Blobs, that's an awesome bit of modelling there mate I particularly like the top image. I'd like to see that rendered as a black n white cut-away.. is that poss?
Here's the complete pencil drawing which I will use to model the color piece on which I would like to render in pastels. I "framed" the P-40 with background smoke to get across the setting as well as to help accentuate the reflections on the aircraft.
