Great head-on Spit/’Stang shot!

Great shots indeed!

I guess that 18″ will make all the difference to his pictures.

Looks like we might be nearing the day were it will… For the first time ever on Old Warden I had somebody block my view this year and ruin a couple of pics! I was shocked! The end is nigh! 😮

When you “tweak” the sky, be careful you don’t forget to include the props! :dev2:

Speaking of props, 1/400th is indeed about the fastest you can shoot propjobs without them looking too static. 1/200th for helicopters. Usually I go around half these values for more motion in the props/rotors at the cost of a few more blurry pics.

The 6 o’clock high view of the Mustang is great, as are the close Spitfire due photos!

Hehe, that’s a very cool Deux-Chevaux! 😀
I have fond memories of these cars as my parents used to drive them and every summer we went to the south of France for a month. As a kid I loved standing on the back seat with the roof open, holding on to the central bar, face in the wind! Of course only on straight, empty roads! 😉 But I don’t think they had seat belts in the back then yet…

Image duly Googled

Indeed it can be found quickly. There seems to be a discrepancy in the date though: “summer ’54” vs “May ’53”? They definitely look taken within minutes of eachother.

It sure has!

Thanks for your honesty and the credit, Lindy’s Lad! Nice job on “Dooleybird”!
I am perhaps a little touchy on the subject as I know someone who cloned the “Daddy’s Girl” composition but with Spitfires and Heinkels and then another one with Spitfires and Lancasters. And those were paid commissions for a movie project! Can’t say I was pleased…
“Daddy’s Girl” is definitely my most popular piece and I am glad it inspired you. Now if only I could get some people to actually buy some prints of it… 😉 I sold some, but not a lot…

Awesome work on the leaden skies and brake chutes, jindabyne!

Latest from me….. This will eventually be an Acklington based P51.

Oil on Board, approx. 30 x 12 inches

That’s looking terribly familiar… :rolleyes:

Here’s one I did back in 2005:

Thanks MM!

Cheers Rob! Hopefully I’ll get a chance at this one day. But unless I’m commissioned, it won’t be anytime soon as I still have quite a to-do list to catch up on! 😮

Yes, I read that story too (in Brian Cull’s excellent book about the Suez air war) and it would make a highly interesting artwork. However I wasn’t sure if you’d be too interested in that because the Wyvern’s on the wrong end of the MiG’s guns…! 🙂

The MiG-17 is an extremely versatile subject, with tons of colourschemes and air combat scenario available for artwork. It’s also not the most complex aircraft in the world to model in 3D, luckily.

Thanks for the replies! Very much appreciated!

DCK, I use 3DSMax for this, but there are many other 3D applications that can do a similar job.

J Boyle, couldn’t agree more with you, but that’s all part of the “what if”. What if the ramjet was considered, what if production&development was quicker, etc. Personally I don’t think 1946 would’ve been all that radically different than 1945. Just look around… where are those flying wing airliners 60 years later? It’s a miracle the B-2 came as far as it did.

Wyvernfan, thanks! You are talking about the Wyvern I assume? I’d love to do artwork of that, in action somewhere over the Egyptian desert. It’s a fantastic bird – highly interesting!
Love the quote in your signature! 😀

Mark V (Steve) – thanks for your PM. I tried to reply but your inbox is full! 😮
