Hi guys,

quite a long time. Here is a Bell 412EP in japanese EMS livery. This one is from Miyazaki Air Rescue team.

Really nice job.

Moving props/blades aren't really my thing, but you do it so convincingly. Do you draw static rotor hubs as well?

I've just decided that my next profile will be a helicopter.*

*Subject to my finishing my to be completed list from the other thread.

OK Ugo, now you've REALLY got me curious after seeing the exploded drawing and the line drawing. I'm a bit boggled as to the manner in which you work. You obviously start with a line drawing. How is the background scale structured? I think BH uses 1"=one square. So what are you using....1 cm= one square? It cant be a mm because the drawings would be enormous! When you start the colour process, are you doing individual parts and then assembling them in a main drawing? I can't imagine you doing it in one main drawing because the file size would make most 'puters choke. Whatever you are doing, it's obviously highly successful!
