DH.82 Tiger Moth

[gamary]

Another (!) WIP which I'd posted this morning. Either I forgot to press the "submit new thread" button or something went wrong so here it is again:



I'm working on a gazillion different things so it's tough for me. I'll work on this a bit more before going back to the Piper Cub, or the Jaguar, or the P-51B, or the He 177 or 277, or the P-80 or something else.

Ah! Lovely, Gamary. Another of my favorites.

Watch the shape of the trailing edge of the tail. On the ones I have seen it is not quite a straight line.

[gamary]

Thanks, Grubby. I had corrected the top part of the fin, but hadn't noticed the trailing edge.

I'll do that today.

How about completing one job after the other? **LOL**

I understand you quite well! I am running after a revised NH-90 for HEER, FALCON 20 for DLR, DH CARIBOU for USARMY, F/A-18E and F/A-18F for USNAVY, F-16C for TuAF, UH-1Ds for a monographic book, F-4Fs for another book, OH-58 for USARMY....and today got 4 new requests!!! GASP! need days of 48 Hours!

Wings have always been very difficult for me to do, but so far I'm rather happy with the top wing:



@Ugo: Give me the French stuff to do! This way you will need only 40 hours per day.

not till ya learn to do wings

[gamary]

Yeah, but how can I learn if I don't draw anything????

You've been suspiciously discreet these last few weeks. What are you up to?

I have your He 177 book that I must send back some time. Would you like M. Griehl's book as a "thank you"? I believe it's rather good, if you're interested in the subject.

Once I've finished the whole 177 series, I will have no use for it and I have been unsuccessful at selling it and I do hope never to have to do a 177 again in my life.

We should have a classified ads section in this forum.

hi GM,

pass the books onto some one else that would like them, i have not got the room to keep them, thats why i scan and dispose.

been quite because i have been in Rodos, then last week my son came over from OZ on the monday, then flew back on the wednesday!
wednesday morning his partner recieved a phone call telling her that her youngest brother had been found dead in bed, only 22yrs old
having a young lady breakdown in your arms is not something i recommend to anyone, it got to me deeper than i would have though.

but getting over it now and i am back on the warpath, just don't mention the seahawk, i will finish it i promise.

[gamary]

That is a nasty experience. I had a friend go through the same thing a few years ago and I still remember it vividly. It's difficult to deal with as there is simply nothing you can do to help in these moments.

Go and draw something. (Not a s*****k of course.). That should help.

Very good job with that upper wing! I now it's quite a hell to give prope lights and shadows.
