Re: I-16 WIP
Thanks for your feedback. I hadn't thought about the wood texture and I'll try it. I'm not sure it should be visible however. I usually do my homework correctly and read a book or two about the AC I'm about to draw but I was lazy this time so I don't know exactly what type of wooden construction the I-16 uses.
I'll try it at any rate and post to show the results. As for the pictures, I do have several detailed walkarounds of the I-16. The problem I do have is that good pictures are usually those of restored ac and the restoration is not always very well done (question of money mostly I suppose). Older pics are better but not always easy to use.
I'm glad you like the shading. One of the reasons I did this bird was to put some "shading study" to practice, and I am rather happy with the results. The prop spinner was made using the older technique and it's not as good IMO.
I'll keep posting as I progress on this one.
