"Dragon Slayer" -- a tribute to gamary

[Mangas]

Don't hate me for having so many unfinished projects... Maybe it's wrong, but that's the way I learn... And I can't do anythin' about it...
Unexpectedly, I feel kind of addicted to IJA/IJN stuff...
This is very WIP, just a most of basic shapes are outlined... It'll be a "B-29's killer" --Kawasaki Ki-45 Kai Hei Type 2 Toryu (Dragon Killer) "Nick" of The 4th Sentai that had a special attack unit, called Kaiten Seiku Tai, which made ramming attacks on B-29s during bombing missions over Japan:




Sincere regards,
Mangas.

P.S.: this is for gamary -- without him I don't think this would be possible... (at least so soon)...

Very good starting

[gamary]

Thanks, but others have helped you at least as much as I have.

By not finishing anything at the moment you are only learning up to a certain stage and maybe by seeing one profile right through to the bitter end could give you a fresh perspective and having a result you're happy with might motivate you on to finishing more of them.

I'm sure from what I have seen that you can produce a good finished profile, just have a bit more confidence in your work and let this be the one you finish, please?

Hey...What about our back and forth PM's, wheres my tribute?

No more tips for you!

Get to work on your panel lines its holding your work back.

[Mangas]

I remember everything! Don't you worry, guys... Everybody will be credited! Even Jesters!

But I don't like my own artwork... Erm... I mean I never 100% satisfied with it... (is it normal or do I have kinda of inferiority complex? )

Nevertheless, here's an update: panels/rivets finished, as well as most of the details... (Can't w8 to apply camo to it! )



By the way, I'm sorry to say there's no such guys left in the world... Only remains... That's sad to know...
...No color pics, no descent walkaround...


Sincere regards,
Mangas.

P.S.: To Inky: yes, this will be out...

highlight on the engine cowling do's not match the spinner and nose,
needs moving to the top
i will switch the HD on and see what i have on the toryu.

[JMSmith]

not a great deal in the high res dept,
but heres a few, by the way, there is a complete one in the USA, sitting without the wings and tail, they aint been restored yet

[JMSmith]

and more

[gamary]

I'd also suggest you add more highlight, especially on the upper cockpit area. This will bring the shape out.

Looking good.
