Hi Guys

After about a month and a half of no internet connection (cheers BT

). I am finally able to check out what you guys have been up to. Good stuff as always. Please find attached my initial shading work on my current project, The Ju88 A series. Starting with the A-1.

This is my first attempt at this technique of the shading process (shading onto a Grey background) and must admit I find it very effective indeed. (I almost wish I didn't have to put the colour on afterwards)

This WIP is a bit slow (had a lot going on recently) and is very far from finished.

Thanks

Clint

Nice start.

You survived. That's good. I probably wouldn't have. Or I would have killed somebody (some BT executive probably) and ended up in jail.

Does one have internet access in jail?

It has been tuff Gamary but thankfully I had this project to keep me busy'ish. And yes I believe you do have internet access in prison there has been a lot of criticism of this fact in the UK press recently. I had to wait for BT to install a new phone line at my new home and then to my total and utter dissapointment I had to wait another 6 - 10 days for O2 to connect me. AAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!

That is looking mighty fine Mitch, plenty of scope for markings and schemes on this one, good choice of project.

Looking good Mitch

Good strong shape definition, just how I like it

I know exactly how tricky that cockpit/nose are is to do, having just finished 10 of these myself... keep on going!

Thank you chaps.

As for the amount and variation in markings and camouflage of the A-series Jester I intend to fully take advantage of this fact to the point of making most people sick of the sight of a Ju88, so apologies up front guys.

Clint (or Mitch I'm easy with either

)

I told you to steal that candy bar and club the old lady. Then you'd be in the cooler, with full internet access, drawing dozens of 88s.

cool start!

Ju 88 A-4 is also on my to do list! Just have to rework my C-6, but don't have time for that project as I still work on my Ju 188.

Cheers
