Im not talking about a digital Map, but a real one. I consider myself very artistically minded so I think I could do it without it looking too bad. What materials would I need, how much time would it take? I wanna do a global map from about 1920.

Hi guys, been a long time since i was here, have made a few very brief visits over the past year. Life sometimes kicks you in the teeth and you have to deal with it. So i have perused all the new names that are painting and wow, i have a lot to catch up on. I have just managed to finish the Russian expansion set and here some of you guys have already finished the brits expansion. Nice work too guys.
I will give you a couple of pics and you guys can follow the links to the rest, not real brilliant but they will do. Have used a bit of artistic license on some…… :-)

With all the new sculpts available from HBG nowadays i chose a few to update the us and british airforces.
I just love corsairs :)
-
I gave the british fleet air arm some corsairs and i also included a special, some of you guys might recognize the paint scheme
I couldn’t leave out the flying tiger and giving the raf some warhawks
-
Not all historically accurate, but i love planes and i have to add some fun and unusual schemes in to the mix, artistic license……:)
-
Man, so many planes, LOL. Nice job, man, nice job! :-D
-
Uffff, those look so nice. Very stellar work.
May I ask what brush/tool you use to do the detail work on your aircraft? (a photo would be appreciated too :) I am always looking for ways to improve my process. Your aircraft are some of my favorite I’ve ever seen.

Thank you Spitfire38, you have quite a few awesome pieces yourself. I am not using anything fancy, just the normal model brushes from 3 down to size 5/0
I do find that when it comes down to the really fine stuff i have to sometimes trim hairs off the brush, yes, i do go through a few.
Of course a steady hand is a real advantage and patience too, both are things i struggle with. :oops: -

Yep, patience and a steady hand are very important! Unfortunately they can’t be purchased at your local crafts store.

Awesome detail on those aircraft! The steady hand thing is a must and eagle eye sight doesn’t hurt. I have to take breaks if I’ve been painting to long and refuel with some food to stop the shakes! Keep up the great work!

Thanks majikforce

Agree with taking breaks, i can’t sit for more than a couple hours.
