A Lancaster

[Gnomey]

My bad , I still thought it was a bit on the darkside.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well strictly speaking for a 15Sqn B.I Special it is a bit too dark, it'd be right for a wartime 617Sqn special though........

 

[Clave]

What do I need to change to make it a wartime one? (it's what I want)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

only 617 Sqn used the B.I Special operationally during the war, and the aircraft cleared for "large Bomb" operations (only the grandslam falls into this catagory, not even the tallboy was considdered a "large bomb") carried the code letters YZ (617Sqn's standard bombers at this time carried the code KC) so if you want to make yours a wartime "slammer" you need the YZ code, but as a note the lettering was thicker and not as wide as the markings on the last one you put up, finally the greener parts on your last one should be more brown/yellow..........

may i also suggest you put the strop on the bomb to hold it in place

finally (second time i've said that ) below i've posted a version of your last one, look on the outboard engine, you should see a small black line i've drawn, that's where the cammo from the top should spill over onto, shouldn't go so far back as you've got it now............

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

thought i should post a couple more pictures

 

[Clave]

OK, I understand most of that now thanks. Going to use 'YZM'

Back later with an update - I've decided to to ALL the shading and stuff in Illustrator now...

 

[Clave]

How am I doing?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the 617 Sqn slammers didn't carry the badge on the nose, and you gotta change the green bits to a brown/yellow, and change the paint on the engines like i showed you on the other one........

 

[Clave]

And once more into the breach:

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

much much better, now outline the codes with yellow

 

[Clave]

Like so?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

brighter yellow........

 

[Clave]

OK, I'm starting a new project now...

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I think they look really good.

 

[Gnomey]

Looks good Clave.

 

[Clave]

Thank you!

Just started a new project yesterday:

 

[mosquitoman]

looks amazing!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

What program are you using for that stuff.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yes that's much better clave, not perfect by a long way but i wouldn't even be able to draw anything like that out well done, and i think plan d should be able to help you with the lightening the same way i did..........

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

pD can tell you whatever you need to know to make it as realistic as possible.
